Q. What were the main challenges while creating a colouring book for adults?
One of the biggest challenges we faced while creating The Harry Potter Colouring Book was narrowing down the iconic imagery from the films while selecting the content that would make up the colouring book. The Harry Potter world is rich with visuals, so choosing the content for the colouring book was difficult. It was also a challenge to make sure the line work was consistent and we were creating clear, defined shapes for colouring, while making sure that the character and creature likeness was on point.

Q. How and why did the idea to use the Harry Potter series emerge? Is it unique literature that transcends age groups?
The enthusiasm of the Harry Potter fan base is incredible. Creating unique books that celebrate the art and making of the films seemed like a great way to help fans revisit the world of the films in a whole new way. It also provided an opportunity to profile the amazing artists, cast, and crew members who helped bring the story to life.
