Winter 2021 (December);

My mother loves to buy me something Harry Potter illustrated related for most birthdays and Christmas' and this year it was these two pop-up books (which I'll be sharing this review on both). They are both nice enough, with their full section pops per page, along with all the little things everywhere. I have to admit I wish it were a little more book, and book arts, based rather than eschewing toward the movies only.

All in all, they're cute and very creatively made. I still wonder incredibly long and hard how it is people put this together in their head/computer programs so that pop-up books happen so perfectly like this every time you open the pages.… (more)

Spring 2021 (May);

The illustrated Harry Potter gift from my mother from this past Christmas that I hadn't pulled out and looked through everything in yet. While there's only so much reading to this one it is an absolute delight all-around setting up the pieces and pulling the tabs (and, oh my god, that page with The Train that is a full actually two page pull-out layout before the tabs even).

This was a delightful end cap to blitzing my way through the illustrated pieces today.
