Review: Harry Potter: The Creature Vault: The Creatures and Plants of the Harry Potter Films

Harry Potter: The Creature Vault: The Creatures and Plants of the Harry Potter Films by Jody Revenson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

For me this book looks like yet another misunderstanding of the intended audience. It's big-sized, published on high quality paper, with an elaborate cover. And contains behind-the-scenes information. The illustrations are good and information is interesting, but who was it all made for? People interested in movie production details probably don't care about the pompous looks of the book. And kids that buy into this "as if from the magic world" cover need a magical book, not a collection of facts. The book was probably intended for both categories, but doesn't property serve either.
