Harry Potter Colouring Book: An official colouring book Paperback – 5 Nov. 2015

It is fair to say you cannot ignore the ongoing 'Adult colouring in' craze at the moment, it intrigues me greatly, I, like many others, I'm sure, have tried to ignore it, but it is easier said than done. However since the build up to the Christmas period it definitely played in my favour, it turns out these books make the ideal Christmas present for all adults of all ages.I brought this Harry Potter adult colouring in themed book to gave as a secret Santa Christmas present for my Harry Potter fan, sixteen year old, art student Saturday girl work colleague.We work together in a toy shop and sell a range of colouring in books for very young children and those older children, through this work we already knew there were many a adult who brought colouring in books for themselves before this craze 'Got big'! (With the introduction of Adult Colouring books it now allows these people to buy these books with pride!)We had previously discussed the power of 'colouring in' and how it makes a great distraction from the 'real world' and creates a sense of calm and mindfulness. Since receiving this gift she has reported back on how it has been fantastic relaxation tool for her and maybe too much of a distraction from her 'real art' work and a little bit addictive and not wanting to stop and 'must finish each page'!She loved it, and still talks about it now (feb)! She love the characters pages and especially the 'poster style' designs.As a non Harry Potter fan I thought it looked really attractive both on the inside and out and the illustrations are of great detail and the pages (paper) are great quality.I have seen this book in many other retailers but at the time of purchase it was a great price too compared to those over the Christmas period.I would recommend this book to any Harry Potter fan of any age and even those who are not as familiar with the books/films.I am very pleased with my purchase a will definitely look into to buying others for myself and other friends.

Bought for daughter in law for Christmas with a pack of crayons. She loves HP and enjoys colouring so the present was a hit! The pictures are intricate and complex so only suitable for those prepared to concentrate.

Terrific value for money. Good quality and design, Lots of pages. Will last for ages. Would buy again!

This is a nice colouring book - I wish I had looked at the reviews first though, as I bought it for my 6 year old and feel the pictures may be a bit too complex for her to colour.She does have quite good concentration when it comes to colouring, so we will see (christmas present).Would definitely recommend it as an adult colouring book though.

So far I am loving this colouring book. I am a huge Harry Potter fan and have been waiting to buy this, and have just been waiting to expand my colouring utensils collection first. At 96 pages, it will take me ages to colour through it, which I am quite happy about!There are varying pages, in terms of abilities, so there are some more simple designs (such as just simple scarves and lightning bolts) as well as very detailed pages (where the designs are so miniscule and it takes up the whole page!), so you can find something suitable for you. I started off with the more simple designs so that I could work my way up to the complex ones later! In addition, they have full-colour prints of some of the colouring pages in the back of the book, which is helpful to me as I like to replicate the scenes as accurately as possible. It is also nice to wax nostalgic by looking at scenes of the films while I do the colouring!The pages are quite thick; I'm not sure if the quality has changed as some of the other reviews say to stick with pencil. I have used gel colouring pens, from 0.8 to 1.00mm thick, and they have not bled through at all. The pages to me seem quite weighty and glossy, so perhaps they have improved since those reviews.The only slight nitpick I have for this is that this is glue-bound, which makes it so you have to bend the spine of the book to get the whole page. I'm not sure why most colouring books do this, perhaps it's the cheapest way, instead of say ring-bound, but it is of tiny irritation for me. I don't think I will discount a star for that as it seems to be a thing for colouring books across the board.Regardless, this is a great, comprehensive colouring book for any Harry Potter fan out there!

Nothing to dislike & a happy child

Very pleased thank you
