I may need my own copy。 So many great patterns， divided into categories。 Used in the film， inspired in the film， etc。

I was hoping for betterI haven't made anything from this book， so I don't know how well the patterns are written。 The only pattern I may make some day is the expecto patronum mittens。 The wizard transportation scarf is kinda cool， but I'd never wear it。 Otherwise， I didn't care for most， and didn't find any other pattern very interesting。 I was hoping for betterI haven't made anything from this book， so I don't know how well the patterns are written。 The only pattern I may make some day is the expecto patronum mittens。 The wizard transportation scarf is kinda cool， but I'd never wear it。 Otherwise， I didn't care for most， and didn't find any other pattern very interesting。 。。。more

I love all the patterns the book provides and there's several （more than half） that I want to attempt。 I really like the Inspired Apparel， the creations are so beautiful and cleverly designed。The only thing I wish was a bit different is that it could include a few more ''easier'' designs as well。 Other than that， I am thankful to have acquired this book！ I love all the patterns the book provides and there's several （more than half） that I want to attempt。 I really like the Inspired Apparel， the creations are so beautiful and cleverly designed。The only thing I wish was a bit different is that it could include a few more ''easier'' designs as well。 Other than that， I am thankful to have acquired this book！ 。。。more

Craft and recipe books inspired by/based on movies or TV shows can be hit or miss。 This one is a pretty solid hit， though， at least for me。 While there could have been more patterns specifically from the movies， there are some iconic classics and I really like the "inspired" patterns that are included。 And honestly， the inspired patterns can be more fun - subtle geekery （like the Golden Snitch stranding pattern， for example） and things that are harder for me to design or reverse-engineer myself。 Craft and recipe books inspired by/based on movies or TV shows can be hit or miss。 This one is a pretty solid hit， though， at least for me。 While there could have been more patterns specifically from the movies， there are some iconic classics and I really like the "inspired" patterns that are included。 And honestly， the inspired patterns can be more fun - subtle geekery （like the Golden Snitch stranding pattern， for example） and things that are harder for me to design or reverse-engineer myself。 Plus， there are lots of movie design sketches， photos from the movies， "Behind the Magic" tidbits and trivia， and other fun such extras。I liked the division of the patterns。 There are 4 main sections to the book: Crafty Creatures （stuffed animals from the movies - I particularly like Hedwig， though Fluffy is pretty cute too - surprised there's no Dobby， though）; Wizarding Wardrobe （patterns for items actually seen in the movies - the Weaseley sweaters， house scarves， etc）; Inspired Apparel （my favorite section， and the biggest - clothing using motifs and themes from characters or sets）; and Delightful Decor （home items with HP themes）。There are beginners patterns in the book， but not many。 It's really more of an intermediate and up sort of pattern book。 While there's a range of types of patterns （toys and household through shawls， sweaters， and winter accessories）， and a range of sizes （the Weasely sweaters run from XS to 6XL， for example）， there really aren't any kid-specific knits， if you have younger HP fans in mind。I haven't made any of the patterns yet， so can't speak to accuracy and coherency。 Things seem complete at a cursory look， though， and patterns have both charted and written directions。Now would I make any of the patterns？ Definitely。 My favorites:Dark Mark Illusion Scarf （have a slightly sinister-minded friend who'd love it！）Time Turner Sweater （LOVE it！！）Deathly Hallows Shawl （am such a sucker for a good lace pattern）Order of the Phoenix blanket （again， sucker for a good lace pattern）Golden Snitch Socks & Mittens （though， based on what I wear， I'll adapt them as fingerless mitts）I like all the charts for the Wizarding World Sweater and Wizarding Transportation Scarf too， whether or not I make them in the patterns as they are。Overall， a really good HP fandom collection of patterns。 I liked that it's not all things directly from the movies - a quick Ravelry search can turn up so many of those - and that a lot are more subtle fandom touches。 So， things that I can wear regularly without being too "cosplay fashion-esque。" 。。。more

I haven't knit anything out of the book yet but I have several projects marked。 The only reason I'm giving it four instead of five stars is that I wish the sweaters had the option of seamed construction--the instructions are only given one way。 Some of the pieces *are* seamed， like the Hogwarts Cardigan， but I would've liked to see seamed options for all the clothing pieces。 I haven't knit anything out of the book yet but I have several projects marked。 The only reason I'm giving it four instead of five stars is that I wish the sweaters had the option of seamed construction--the instructions are only given one way。 Some of the pieces *are* seamed， like the Hogwarts Cardigan， but I would've liked to see seamed options for all the clothing pieces。 。。。more

Fine opskrifter， men synes det er forkert at man i en official strikkebog laver fejl på hvilke farver husene har， eller i hvert fald ikke gør opmærksom på at de følger filmene og ikke bøgerne。Ravenclaw er blå og bronze， ikke blå og sølv som vist i filmene。

Beautifully designed book。 There are quite a few intricate designs included， but most of those with 1 to 3 stars could be attempted by people who have basic skills。 There are a few patterns based on items in the films， versions of some of these are also in the earlier， unofficial knitting book， such as the Weasley sweater with the initial on and Hermione’s grey cardigan （done both of these and fairly easy knits）。 Many of the other patterns are inspired by the books and films。 Some are great， was Beautifully designed book。 There are quite a few intricate designs included， but most of those with 1 to 3 stars could be attempted by people who have basic skills。 There are a few patterns based on items in the films， versions of some of these are also in the earlier， unofficial knitting book， such as the Weasley sweater with the initial on and Hermione’s grey cardigan （done both of these and fairly easy knits）。 Many of the other patterns are inspired by the books and films。 Some are great， washcloths， gloves， beanie。 Others I cannot imagine anyone wearing， such as Prof Umbridge’s cat scarf。My main quibble with the book is the yarn used。 Most is from the USA which makes it either incredibly expensive or hard to find。 Some are easier to find substitutes for than others。 Hence the loss of a star。 。。。more

Not too impressed with this book。 The animals had very difficult patterns and the clothing was uninspiringly plain in design。 I enjoyed the concept art of various characters and uniforms throughout the book and the small tidbits about the thinking behind them， but I won't be knitting anything from this book。 Not too impressed with this book。 The animals had very difficult patterns and the clothing was uninspiringly plain in design。 I enjoyed the concept art of various characters and uniforms throughout the book and the small tidbits about the thinking behind them， but I won't be knitting anything from this book。 。。。more

This contains several knitting patterns I'm interested in， so I grabbed it on sale。 I was really happy with the quality and clarity of the patterns。 （Though seriously， the letter is way too high on the Weasley sweater！ IMHO。） This contains several knitting patterns I'm interested in， so I grabbed it on sale。 I was really happy with the quality and clarity of the patterns。 （Though seriously， the letter is way too high on the Weasley sweater！ IMHO。） 。。。more

Awesome pattern book！I've read a lot of reviews of this book。 Some good， some bad。 I purchased the e-book as a cautionary move because of this。 I would gladly spend more to have a hard copy。 The pictures are lovely and the patterns and projects are fun and explained in a way， that even myself as a beginning knitter， can easily understand。 I cannot wait to make some of these items！！ Awesome pattern book！I've read a lot of reviews of this book。 Some good， some bad。 I purchased the e-book as a cautionary move because of this。 I would gladly spend more to have a hard copy。 The pictures are lovely and the patterns and projects are fun and explained in a way， that even myself as a beginning knitter， can easily understand。 I cannot wait to make some of these items！！ 。。。more

There are some cute things to knit in this book。 What makes this book exceptionally cool is that there are TWO pictures of my niece in it。 And！ She's the editor and gets called out in the Acknowledgements！I distinctly remember reading the first HP to her and her sister when I was baby-sitting them， ~20 years ago。 They had a bedtime， but wouldn't go to bed because they were enthralled by the story。 My voice was almost gone by the time my brother and SIL got home。 There are some cute things to knit in this book。 What makes this book exceptionally cool is that there are TWO pictures of my niece in it。 And！ She's the editor and gets called out in the Acknowledgements！I distinctly remember reading the first HP to her and her sister when I was baby-sitting them， ~20 years ago。 They had a bedtime， but wouldn't go to bed because they were enthralled by the story。 My voice was almost gone by the time my brother and SIL got home。 。。。more

Really nice variety of patterns， plenty of photos， and visually amazing layout。 One of the prettiest craft books I've ever seen; it's fun to look at even if you're not currently working a pattern。 Really nice variety of patterns， plenty of photos， and visually amazing layout。 One of the prettiest craft books I've ever seen; it's fun to look at even if you're not currently working a pattern。 。。。more

This is a nice pattern book， but it isn't what I thought it would be。 I was hoping for movie replica patterns。 There are some patterns that I would make， though。 I enjoyed the behind-the-scenes information。 This is a nice pattern book， but it isn't what I thought it would be。 I was hoping for movie replica patterns。 There are some patterns that I would make， though。 I enjoyed the behind-the-scenes information。 。。。more

If you are a Harry Potter fan and enjoy knitting/crafting/learning how to knit， you will enjoy this book。 Some really cute， clever and unique designs designated as beginner， easy and on up。 Even if you aren't particularly invested in Harry Potter， many of the designs are attractive and fun enough for regular use。 A nice gift book for that knitting friend of yours。 If you are a Harry Potter fan and enjoy knitting/crafting/learning how to knit， you will enjoy this book。 Some really cute， clever and unique designs designated as beginner， easy and on up。 Even if you aren't particularly invested in Harry Potter， many of the designs are attractive and fun enough for regular use。 A nice gift book for that knitting friend of yours。 。。。more

Fina mönster， men kanske bara 4-5 stycken som jag kan tänka mig att sticka själv。 Mönstren kan vara lite svåra att förstår ibland， och då är jag en erfaren stickare。

Pertaining to the Kindle edition onlySince there is no way to print out the charts it makes it very difficult to knit the projects。 Perhaps Amazon will allow it at some point，but I won't hold my breath。 Some pattern books have a link to printable charts，etc。 Pertaining to the Kindle edition onlySince there is no way to print out the charts it makes it very difficult to knit the projects。 Perhaps Amazon will allow it at some point，but I won't hold my breath。 Some pattern books have a link to printable charts，etc。 。。。more

I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but I've seen several （disappointing） Harry Potter-related craft books and thought I'd give this a try。 It is WONDERFUL！ The finished projects look professional but still very doable， many for intrepid beginners。 The shaping in Hedwig， the colorwork in Luna Lovegood's Spectrespecs Gloves， the magic （sorry） in the Dark Mark Illusion Scarf is such perfection。 Lots of different types of projects （necklace to socks， blanket to cup cozies） and a huge range of knitting I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but I've seen several （disappointing） Harry Potter-related craft books and thought I'd give this a try。 It is WONDERFUL！ The finished projects look professional but still very doable， many for intrepid beginners。 The shaping in Hedwig， the colorwork in Luna Lovegood's Spectrespecs Gloves， the magic （sorry） in the Dark Mark Illusion Scarf is such perfection。 Lots of different types of projects （necklace to socks， blanket to cup cozies） and a huge range of knitting technique （top-down， intarsia， Fair-Isle， duplicate stitch， cables， lace）—there's a ton here to keep you occupied for a long time。 It was fun to read about behind-the-scenes movie stuff， too。 The only criticism I have is that some of the charts are really teeny！ 。。。more
