This coloring book features a mixture of pages from actual scenes from the Harry Potter movies to pages dedicated to one creature’s design repeated. The iconic scenes will make readers eager for a Harry Potter marathon, movies or books. However, some of the other designs are somewhat simple and plain. Even so, the range of creatures featured is spectacular, and users will have a fun time remembering the names of each as they color. The concept art at the end of the coloring book are a treat. You can see artist sketches of the creatures and still shots from the movies.

Some of the line work is a little thick in places, but for the most part, it’s used when appropriate for pages with more detail. The pages are on the thinner side, so I wouldn’t recommend water colors, but colored pencils and crayons would do just fine. Creatures with feathers or fur, such as the phoenix or the three-headed dog, are excellent opportunities to try out fun shading. Markers and gel pens can work as well, but there is some bleed through.

Filled with every Harry Potter creature you can imagine, the HARRY POTTER MAGICAL CREATURES COLORING BOOK is a great addition to every fan’s shelf. From owls to dragons to pixies, the Harry Potter world comes to life again in this new coloring book.
