I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and an avid crafter so I was looking forward to this book. Sad to say, it's a major disappointment. These crafts are tacky, uninspired, boring, and cheap looking. I'm honestly surprised that she found a publisher for this rubbish. Don't waste your money, you'll find much better stuff on Pinterest.
Let me start by saying I am a total nerd and I LOVE HARRY POTTER. I grew up during the time when Harry Potter was big and everyone was reading. Now as an adult, I couldn't be more excited that it's still a thing and even better, it's a thing to share with your family.I bought this book and I am planning on buying more to gift for Christmas (never too early to start thinking ahead). This book is perfect for nerdy crafters like myself. My 6-year-old son had a blast making that pencil wand - BRILLIANT! I cannot wait to make more of these crafts.I really love the ideas but I also love the beautiful photography and the really cool pages that look worn like if you were really a wizard reading a spell book. It's seriously cool. I may be overly enthusiastic but come on, it's Harry Potter!!If you want something fun and entertaining for the entire family, buy this book. Do it and do it now, you muggle!
very disappointed in the ideas that are in this book. very cheep and cheesy they just took regular boring crafting ideas and gave the different names nothing original in here or does it have anything you would find in the Wizarding world of Harry Potter. you can find better ideas on Pintrest for FREE!
As a HP nerd with crafty kids and wife, this book was a no brainer gift book for me. They all piled around the book when it arrived, and immediately started planning on making everything from lip gloss to jewelry. Okay, so I'm know it's early to think of this, but they have even started planning on making a HP inspired Christmas tree this year, using Harrington's book as a guide.Beautiful photography, easy to follow steps, and great fun for everyone.
Jamie Harrington puts her creative mind into action with a book of crafts for those who enjoy the Harry Potter books/movies. I found her designs and imagination astounding. She uses common items and changes them into Harry Potter crafts. There are 30 different crafts at various levels of difficulty.The book is well written with not only the step by step directions but detailed photographs of the process. There are also photographs of the finished project. The author included many easy to produce objects such as the sorcerer's stone out of aquarium rocks and the pencil wand using a hot glue gun, acrylic paint and mod podge. Some projects will need adult supervision. The dementor soap requires the crafter to melt a soap base, use soap molds, and have a spray bottle that contains isopropyl alcohol.Jamie Harrington has written a book that will definitely interest Harry Potter enthusiasts. There are hours of fun in this book.*I received this for review - all opinions are my own*
This is a very fun crafting book for Harry Potter fans! I find that most of the ideas are quite challenging for my 10-year-old, and would recommend that as the lower end of the age range through to adults.
I assumed some of the crafts would be easy and good for kids, but I had hoped there would be at least one or two more complex ideas. Nope. All of the crafts are incredibly easy and a few are not very good at all (covering rocks with glitter for example).If you're not an experienced crafter and have kids crazy for Harry Potter, then this book is perfect. It's also good for kids who are into crafting. If you're an experienced crafter, this is not the book for you.
I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan and avid crafter. This book is really fun. All the projects are easy enough that a tween could probably do them themselves and many of them would be fun for families to craft together. If you have the slightest crafty tendency and love Harry Potter you'll love this. It would ma a really fun gift for a family or a new Harry Potter fan.
