Review: IncrediBuilds: Harry Potter: Stag Patronus Book and 3D Wood Model - Jody Revenson

Patronuses are one of the most difficult and powerful defensive charms a witch or wizard can conjure. This book gives a behind-the-scenes look at how this magic was imagined, designed, and brought to life for the Harry Potter films. Readers will get a look at how the filmmakers crafted each Patronus s ethereal appearance, how Harry Potter s stag saved him from the Dementors, and how the mysterious doe led him to the Sword of Gryffindor. Finally, participate in the magic by building your own stag Patronus with the included do-it-yourself wood model, and paint it any way you like!

Review:
I've reviewed quite a few of these Incredibuilds model kits now so I'm sure most of you know what to expect from these kits. The models come as a sheet of wood and you have to pop out the pieces and follow the instructions to slot them all together making, in this case, a model of Harry's Stag Patronus. I've found all of these models fairly easy to build and they've all held well even without using any kind of glue so you don't need to buy additional materials. Of course you can paint them if you like but I've left all of mine as plain wood and they're still really cute bookshelf decorations.

Each model comes with a small booklet with insider information about the Harry Potter books and movies. This booklet talks about the Patronus spell, has a section on the Dementors that it repells, talks about the effects they used to create both Dementors and Patronuses in the movies, talks about Dumbledore's Army and the different Patronuses each of the characters creates. It's not a large book so you'll be able to read through it very quickly but it's a nice accompaniment to the model.

I've really enjoyed making these model kits, I think I've done nearly all of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts ones now so I'm hoping they might come out with a few new designs but to be honest I'm starting to run out of shelf space to store them all anyway! These do make great gifts for Potterheads though so I'd recommend them as gifts for any HP fans in your life.
