One of the greatest triumphs of the Harry Potter series has always been its beautifully-designed props – lovingly-crafted items that make the Wizarding World feel just as real, tangible and lived-in as the muggle one. Just think of Harry’s stunning school books, every Daily Prophet front page, the packaging from Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes – all designed by the masterminds at MinaLima.
With Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of The Grindelwald, the Newt Scamander saga is heading to destinations both new and familiar, taking fans back to Hogwarts and across to Europe as Newt travels to Paris – and for Empire’s November subscriber cover, the MinaLima team has created a spectacular original design packed with hidden details from the upcoming adventure.
As well as teasing Newt’s time in France, look out for the Niffler, the sign of the Deathly Hallows, and a snake – all the more significant after the Nagini reveal in that latest trailer.
