Unfettered by things that fetter (like budgets, practicality, etc) the concept art behind the creatur es featured in the Harry Potter film series are amazing and often terrifying.
A new book, Harry Potter: The Creature Vault, captures the process of creation from concept art throughfilm stills of the final product for a staggering range of Potter-world creatures, beings, and plants.
Included in the managerie are dementors, grindylows, dragons, spiders, merpeople, house elves, werewolves, Arnold the cute pygmy puff, Nagini the hideous snake, Buckbeak the noble hippogriff, and on and on, all sorted into neat categories like “Forest Dwellers,” “Sky Dwellers,” “Shape Shfiters,” and the like.
