Yeah, The photo was from a french touring train!

The DVD is released on the 7th December in the UK (amazon.co.uk)

Talking of books, Do you have any photos of your book board! It sounds great.

I dont have many props displayed (Most are only half completed!) but the ones that are sit above my desk.

I made some pics of my HP book-board: http://www.hooverae.com/upload/files/190709/2390209.jpeg
And I have some props as a permanent display in my room: http://www.hooverae.com/upload/files/190709/2403673.jpeg
You see a quidditch programm sold by tymex, a chocolate frog packaging, every flavoured beans package, a ministry flyer, a train ticket [its too shiny on the picture] and Harrys wand.

WOW they look great

Especially the Travel with Trolls book, is it an actual prop because it looks screen perfect to me! Cheesy

I think making a book board is a great idea and i may start my own little HP library! Grin

How long have you been working on all of those!

{EDIT} = What size paper do you estimate the daily prophet as? eg, Broadsheet / Tabloid?

Thanks. Who counts the time  Wink It took quite a time to find resources/graphics/artists online. The Year with the yeti book was made from scans a member posted here. For the Daily Prophet I remember some people said its tabloid. But the size paper is different from movie to movie. But I think tabloid is the most accurate.

I have almost finished my set of replicas, all 16 pages of them, at 400dpi.

I print them out on 90lb watercolour stock.

That must have taken you a long time and lots of research. Did you have the originals as reference or did you do it all from collected images?

Do you think you will sell any?

I worked from a variety of sources, but I was lucky enough to get photos of some of the original props. The lettering took a long time to decifer and then match up perfectly.

It looks quite good. Especially the sections that form the red and blue lenses of the spectrespecs. Just print those onto acetate and attatch to a nice pair of spectrepecs!  Grin

Heya,

I know she used LLRubberGrotesque for the section that says "several high security prisoners" and "says minister" because I also used that on my replica but I dont know what others she used.

LLRubberGrotesque is a free font and can be found here:
http://www.dafont.com/ll-rubber-grotesque.font

But make sure to black out the R's Cheesy
