This past Thursday Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima of MinaLima hosted a special event on the graphic art of the “Harry Potter” films. Their talk began with a quick showreel of their graphic design work on Potter, before going to into greater detail on creation of their favorite pieces and the processes behind making them. The time and detail put into behind every piece of work is clear, but what was perhaps most surprising was the thought process behind every design, usually informed by lengthy research and particularly inspired by the characters.

Berlin International Film Festival headed to a great start today when Ralph Fiennes’s (Voldemort) newest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, opened the event. The film is set around the life of a hotel concierge, Gustave H. Played by Fiennes, who finds himself in trouble with the police after a series of events involving a son, a one night stand and a painting. Director Wes Anderson commented on the best way to not get an actor to accept a role in a film while Fiennes spoke of a certain refreshing aspect he found while working with Anderson.

What’s it like to reread the series years later and feel different?
