Can you imagine her version of Buckbeak and Fawkes Who else could make a beautiful hippogriff? or show the transformation from animal to human? sigh the possibilities. (will openly admit that have tried to create my own visions in my c-stitch software and having difficulty getting them to look right cause well I cant draw worth a poo!)

I bought it from www.amazon.fr It is written in french and wasn't worth the $16.00US I ended up paying for the thing. It's basically an oversized pamplet/paperback with a true cost/value of about $4.99US It is flat and cartoonish. Jan from Richland, Wash. USA Member of the Stashinites and proud of it!!!

(I've read it, it's nothing we don't already know.) As for the copyright, I don't think the language really changes anything, especially since the book was done in association with DMC. The designs are indeed very simple. Don't expect anything as intricate as Teresa's work. The shapes are fairly good, though, and the results are recognizable. The book mainly contains 45 pages of sampler-like grids with different-size characters and various objects like the talking hat, glasses, the Hogwarts train, the Hogwarts castle, the Hogwarts crest, alphabets, etc. What mainly bothers me about this book is that the charts are not made of symbols, but only of colour squares. It makes really hard to distinguish between certains colours, like shades of greys or browns. I think you need to stitch in good day light to get somewhere. That also means no working chart and no way to mark your progress. I agree that Teresa could create some wonderful charts for us if she's a HP fan... Have you seen the cover of the fifth book? Wouldn't you love to stitch a gold phoenix like that? Cindy

I think having a cross stitch of the moving staircase with all of the talking pictures. A great chess game board could come from some of the scenes that were the chess game in the Chamber of Secrets book and movie. flowergirl
