ABOUT THE BOOK DESIGN

This book was designed and illustrated by London-based design studio MinaLima. Its founders, Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, were the graphic designers on both Fantastic Beasts films and all eight films in the Harry Potter series. Their work has been influential in shaping the visual style of the Wizarding World: from film production to theme park graphics, and bestselling published works.

The cover and illustrations in this book were based on elements and creatures in the story. Its 1920s Art Nouveau rendering echoes the aesthetic of the film and retains an ongoing theme from J.K. Rowling’s screenplay Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, also designed by MinaLima.

The illustrations were drawn by hand and finished in Adobe Photoshop.
