The two artists would never have guessed that the graphic props they designed for the films - including the Hogwarts acceptance letter, Marauder's Map, Daily Prophet newspaper, The Quibbler and Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes - would become cultural icons loved by Wizarding World fans around the world.  Eight years later, the pair formed their own design studio, MinaLima, and expanded their work to include the graphics for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade at Universal Orlando Resort and the Fantastic Beasts film series. To showcase their treasury of designs, the studio has opened House of MinaLima, its immersive art galleries and shops in London and across the world.  The Magic of MinaLima is an illustrated history and celebration of Mina and Lima's twenty-year evolution and groundbreaking vision. Their wondrous creations illuminate the Wizarding World as never before, and their commentary offers insights into the imaginative thinking that shaped their designs.  This collection showcases the very best works from the award-winning studio's two decades and includes interactive elements such as the Marauder's Map, the Black Family Tapestry, and Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.

Originally published in 1883, The Adventures of Pinocchio is one of the best known and beloved children's classics. Written by Italian political satirist Carlo Collodi, it is the story of Geppetto, a poor puppeteer who uses an enchanted piece of wood to carve a marionette boy he calls Pinocchio.   The impish Pinocchio does not want to be a puppet; he yearns to become a real boy. Soon, his curiosity, mischievousness, and naivete lead him away from his father's shop and into a series of perilous encounters with vicious puppet masters, cunning animals, and other magical characters. Along this perilous journey, the magical puppet learns how much turmoil, heart, and hard work it takes to become a \"real boy.\" With a nose that grows larger with each lie he tells, Pinocchio has become an enduring icon in children's literature, and now his story is brilliantly reimagined in this stunning gift edition.   The Adventures of Pinocchio includes specially commissioned artwork and exclusive interactive features, including:    A Pinocchio puppet with clothing Additional finger puppets A small theatre for a puppet show A court deck with Pinocchio behind sliding bars A fold out shark revealing Pinocchio and Geppetto inside  This wondrous edition will enchant readers of every age an become a treasured keepsake passed down for generations.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44311957045467,"sku":"9780062905277-RETAIL","price":38.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780062905277_3e688a3e-f8e1-490c-bd7b-fb2ba5426ddd.jpg?v=1696849773"},{"product_id":"9781472133489-circus-of-dreams-adventures-in-the-1980s-literary-world","title":"Circus of Dreams: Adventures in the 1980s Literary World","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: John Walsh\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Hardback\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 432\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomething extraordinary happened to the UK literary scene in the 1980s. In the space of eight years, a generation of young British writers took the literary novel into new realms of setting, subject matter and style, challenging - and almost eclipsing - the Establishment writers of the 1950s. It began with two names - Martin Amis and Ian McEwan - and became a flood: Julian Barnes, William Boyd, Graham Swift, Salman Rushdie, Jeanette Winterson and Pat Barker among them. The rise of the newcomers coincided with astonishing changes in the way books were published - and the ways in which readers bought them and interacted with their authors. Suddenly, authors of serious fiction were like rock stars, fashionable, sexy creatures, shrewdly marketed and feted in public.    The yearly bunfight of the Booker Prize became a matter of keen public interest. Tim Waterstone established the first of a chain of revolutionary bookshops. London publishing houses became the playground of exciting, visionary entrepreneurs who introduced new forms of fiction - magical realist, feminist, post-colonial, gay - to modern readers. Independent houses began to spend ostentatious sums on author advances and glamorous book launches. It was nothing short of a watershed in literary culture. And its climax was the issuing of a death sentence by a fundamentalist leader whose hostility to Western ideas of free speech made him, literally, the world's most lethal critic.    Through this exciting, hectic period, the journalist and author John Walsh played many parts: literary editor, reviewer, interviewer, prize judge and TV pundit. He met and interviewed numerous literary stars, attended the best launch parties and digested all the gossip and scandal of the time. In Circus of Dreams he reports on what he found, first with wide-eyed delight and then with a keen eye on what drove this glorious era. The result is a unique hybrid of personal memoir, oral history, literary investigation and elegy for a golden age.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44322622996699,"sku":"9781472133489","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781472133489.jpg?v=1697169297"},{"product_id":"9780063208247-retail-snow-white-and-other-grimms-fairy-tales-minalima-edition-illustrated-with-interactive-elements","title":"Snow White and Other Grimms' Fairy Tales (MinaLima Edition): Illustrated with Interactive Elements","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Hardback\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 224\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ninth book in Harper Design's deluxe classic illustrated series-a beautiful and inventive fresh take on the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, including \"Snow White,\" with stunning full-color artwork and interactive features created by MinaLima, the award-winning design studio behind the graphics for the Harry Potter film franchise.

At first, life in the isolated Misselthwaite Manor is as cold and desolate as the bleak moor outside her window. Then Mary learns the story of the late Mrs. Craven, the estate's mistress, who spent hours in a walled garden tending to her roses. Mrs. Craven died after an accident in the garden, and her forlorn husband forbid anyone to enter it again, locking it and burying the key. The tale piques Mary's curiosity and inspires her to find this secret garden, a search that introduces her to new friends, including a robin redbreast; Dickson, a twelve-year-old boy with a kindness to animals; and Colin, her secluded sickly first-cousin. Spending time in the garden transforms Mary and Colin and ultimately, life at Misselthwaite Manor itself.

The Life Trilogy Boxset contains special editions of David Attenborough's three most important books. Life on Earth David Attenborough's unforgettable meeting with gorillas became an iconic moment for millions of television viewers.  Life on Earth , the series and accompanying book, fundamentally changed the way we view and interact with the natural world, setting a new benchmark of quality and influencing a generation of nature lovers. Told through an examination of animal and plant life, this is an astonishing celebration of the evolution of life on earth, with a cast of characters drawn from the whole range of organisms that have ever lived on this planet. Attenborough's perceptive, dynamic approach to the evolution of millions of species of living organisms takes the reader on an unforgettable journey of discovery from the very first spark of life to the blue and green wonder we know today. Living Planet Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants and animals thrive or survive within every extreme of climate and habitat that it offers. Single species, and often whole communities, adapt to make the most of ice cap and tundra, forest and plain, desert, ocean and volcano. These adaptations can be truly extraordinary: fish that walk or lay eggs on leaves in mid-air; snakes that fly; flightless birds that graze like deer; and bears that grow hair on the soles of their feet. In  Living Planet , David Attenborough's searching eye, unfailing curiosity and infectious enthusiasm explain and illuminate the intricate lives of the these colonies, from the lonely heights of the Himalayas to the wild creatures that have established themselves in the most recent of environments, the city. By the end of this book it is difficult to say which is the more astonishing - the ingenuity with which individual species contrive a living, or the complexity of their interdependence on each other and on the habitations provided by our planet.

A remarkable story of cultural life, friendship, obsession and passion' Stephen Fry ' Brilliantly evocative, like listening to the gossip of ghosts' Bruce Robinson ' The Bookseller of Hay  is the very model of a biography which amazes, occasionally horrifies and entirely engrosses . . . James Hanning is a writer of sublime insight, style and skill' Horatio Clare 'What you have to understand is that Richard Booth was completely mad' Marianne Faithfull In 1962, a young man left university without a degree and, for want of anything better to do, bought a small shop in an obscure market town on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. Within fifteen years, largely through force of personality, Richard Booth had created the world's largest second-hand bookshop, attracting thousands of visitors from across the globe to Hay-on-Wye, on the Welsh border.  The Bookseller of Hay  tells the tale of an extraordinary, chaotic man, a true British eccentric, who invented the term 'book town', attracted a coterie of exotic and illustrious followers, crowned himself king, declared the town's independence and provided the bookish backdrop which - to his frustration - allowed a rival attraction, the now world-famous Hay Festival, to flourish.  It is a story of the extraordinary singlemindedness of a hard-working, hard-playing and rebellious son of privilege, inspired by a romantic vision and a deep love of the area, of a man better suited to publicity than bean-counting, who launched countless careers but whose business instincts undermined precisely what had brought success. Booth was a deeply divisive figure, but love him or hate him, all agree on one thing. He put Hay on the map. James Hanning, a frequent visitor to Hay since the 1960s, has interviewed dozens of local people and booksellers and with typical acuity wonderfully captures this bygone era of eccentricity and excess.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48748224741595,"sku":"9781472159786","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d3053a9a-8d43-4da6-9377-c50eb5821493.jpg?v=1778040732"},{"product_id":"9781400351589-retail-pride-and-prejudice-deluxe-painted-edition","title":"Pride and Prejudice: Deluxe Painted Edition","description":"  For more than two centuries, Jane Austen's  Pride and Prejudice  has charmed readers with its wit, unforgettable characters, and keen social commentary on love, marriage, and class.

What was it like to start a feminist bookshop, in an industry dominated by men? How could a lesbian thrive in Thatcher's time, with the government legislating to restrict her rights? How do you run a business when your real aim is to change the world? Silver Moon was the dream of three women - a bookshop with the mission to promote the work of female writers and create a much-needed safe space for any woman. Founded in 1980s London against a backdrop of homophobia and misogyny, it was a testament to the power of community, growing into Europe's biggest women's bookshop and hosting a constellation of literary stars from Margaret Atwood and Maya Angelou to Angela Carter. While contending with day-to-day struggles common to other booksellers, plus the additional burdens of misogyny and the occasional hate crime, Jane Cholmeley and her booksellers created a thriving business. But they also played a crucial and relatively unsung part in one the biggest social movements of our time. A Bookshop of One's Own  is a fascinating slice of social history from the heart of the women's liberation movement, from a true feminist and lesbian icon. Written with heart and humour, it reveals the struggle and joy that comes with starting an underdog business, while being a celebration of the power women have to change the narrative when they are the ones holding the pen.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835559325915,"sku":"9780008651077-RETAIL","price":21.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/44f9cb6b-4a26-4973-8b74-c0cae5f4f184.jpg?v=1780446710"},{"product_id":"9780008742966-the-baby-dragon-bookshop-the-baby-dragon-series","title":"The Baby Dragon Bookshop (The Baby Dragon series)","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Binge-able, swoon worthy and cosy, I LOVED it'       reader review   A standalone cozy romance filled with books, baby dragons, and happily ever after guaranteed!

Ever since childhood, books have been at the centre of Ian Patterson's life, as a poet, teacher, translator, bookseller and collector. As he constructs the last of many libraries, he makes an impassioned case for the radical importance of reading in our lives - from Proust to Jilly Cooper, from golden-age detective novels to avant-garde poetry.    Wise, irreverent and exhilaratingly wide-ranging,  Books: A Manifesto  reminds us that poems know things that we might not yet know ourselves, urges us to seek out the puzzles alive in the art of translation and celebrates the singular elasticity of the 'bookshop minute'. But even more than this, the book insists on reading not as a luxury but a necessary part of reality: we live within language, and when we think, it's with the tools that reading gives us.    Our time of cultural and political crisis demands more than books - but without them, and without the breadth of knowledge, sense of history, awareness of alternatives and hope for the future they offer, things will not get better. At once a primer for enriching your own library and a manifesto for why that matters, this book is an invitation to a deeper, richer world of thought and feeling - and a reminder of just how much books matter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49047313842395,"sku":"9781474618984","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/78d9e286-8c07-46d7-8b43-cee5fceb9c0a_c6798a8a-6a62-4422-880c-aa4b63b17ed3.jpg?v=1785418001"},{"product_id":"9780789215161-retail-bookstores-of-the-world","title":"Bookstores of the World","description":"A magnificently illustrated global tour of contemporary bookstores, from Paris to Seoul.

The insightful text explores the factors that have shaped bookselling in each region, from the price-fixing laws of France and Germany to the cultural and geographic diversity of the United States.
