I'll include a silent flip-through video as well as a few sample photos so you can see if this set of postcards will work for you.Once again, Scholastic has released a set of postcards based on a Harry Potter coloring book. In this case, the subject is Magical Creatures – which was the second coloring book in the series. Postcards are inherently a little more difficult to work on as everything is scaled so much smaller than in a book. I've found that if I use small nib gel pens, ultra-fine point markers, and very sharp and hard pencils, I have an easier time getting into all the small and intricate details.The mix of designs in the postcards are fairly good for my taste. I enjoy coloring the small details and should enjoy coloring these to give to all the Harry Potter fans in my family. I will probably mount these on folded cards and either frame them or give them as cards versus sending them through the mail as postcards. That is my personal preference but these should hold up well as postcards in use provided you use waterproof medium so that rain and moisture won't cause havoc with your coloring.Here is a brief overview of what I found in this set of postcards:20 Different Harry Potter Postcards with black and white artwork from “Harry Potter Magical Creatures Coloring Book”Printed on one side of heavy weight, slick, white card stockAddress and stamp areas are defined and printed on the back of the cardPostcards are glue bound but can easily be removed from the booklet without design lossAlcohol and water-based markers, India ink and gel pens do not bleed through the card stock.Gel pens take a much longer time to dry than usual.Colored pencils are mixed. I can get fairly good color from both oil and water based pencils but layering and blending don't work as well (probably due to the very slick surface of the card.)

These are officially licensed images and do a good job of capturing creatures that we know and love. People appear in a few of them, and they aren't quite as nicely rendered, but it's a minor quibble.Some of the images have very fine detail, others give you more leeway.I've scanned all 20 postcards, 2 at a time, but I don't know if they'll let me post 10 photos. These are the images you'll receive: dementors, Crookshanks & extendable ears, pixies, Fawkes, mermen (twice, a group shot and a close-up), Hedwig with books, Aragog, Buckbeak, Dumbledore & Harry with the baby Fawkes, Harry & the horntail, Harry & Ron & Hermione on Buckbeak, Fenrir Greyback, Firenze & companion, Errol, Dobby, Fluffy, Voldemort & Nagini, a thestral and a snake eye.The postcards are lightly gummed into a book. I am able to easily take a postcard out from the middle of the book. There was no gum residue and the postcards came out cleanly.Each postcard is 6 7/16 x 4 11/16, a little larger than the standard sight-seeing card. The cardstock is a little thicker, too.Overall, this set is a class act. I already have a couple Harry Potter fans in mind for receiving these.Happy Reader

So I bought this for my children because they love Harry Potter. Then when it arrives, I find myself looking through it and I decided the owl in it would make for a great tattoo. So, I am seriously considering taking a page from this book to our local tattoo artist and having his tattoo the owl from it on me. That should attest to the artwork in this book. On the plus side, my family is super stoked to color it. Who knows, I might ever give it a try.I paid retail price for this and I can recommend this to others.

Although I won't use them as postcards, you could mail them before or after coloring! The pictures are detailed and everything I expected!

Great price and fast shipping! This is the best present for any artist or HP fan or both! I definitely recommend it!!!

I not have two - 1 for my Harry Potter collection and 1 to actually color. Thank you

Perfect little coloring pages that are also postcards! Love it!

gift for the grands. How can you go wrong with Harry Potter?
