July 13, 2011
ArtInsights, the animation and film art gallery that represents the official art of Harry Potter, announces the release of six new limited edition prints based on concept art for the Harry Potter film series, images designed and and signed by Harry Potter production designer Stuart Craig, and illustrated by concept artist Andrew Williamson.
The six images feature Hogwarts Castle, Malfoy Manor, The Weasley Burrow, Harry’s Trial, The Quidditch Tent City, and The Horcrux Cave. They are in an edition of 250, with the first 50 designated as sets of six. ArtInsights, located in the Washington DC area, is a gallery that has been representing Harry Potter art released through Warner Brothers since 2000. These are the first official images to be released from the art department of the film series that have been signed by the production designer.
“I think Warner Brothers now believes that Harry Potter fans can appreciate the importance of the behind-the-scenes artists responsible for the finished look of the film series.” says ArtInsights gallery owner Leslie Combemale, who is showing the new art as part of an exhibit of the official art of Harry Potter at the convention. “Stuart Craig is one of the few consistent players involved from the beginning of the film series and he, along with producer David Heyman, is due a huge amount of credit for the movie’s beauty, and for its success.
I love that so many Harry Potter fans not only know who he is, but truly appreciate his role in making the films so extraordinary.”
The gallery is also displaying and offering for sale original art used as concepts for the movie poster campaign, as well as limited editions by book cover artist Mary GrandPre, movie concept artist Jim Salvati, and Harry Potter movie graphic artists Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima.

Undoubtedly the tales of Harry Potter and his adventures at Hogwarts comprise some of the most alluring fiction to date. This fiction has been brought to life onscreen for a new generation of film fans and the last installment is receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Stuart Craig, who has received Oscars for Gandhi, The English Patient, and Dangerous Liaisons, as well as numerous English BAFTAs for the Harry Potter series, has been responsible for the entire look of the films, and as part of that has drawn hundreds of drawings to guide the creation of the illustrations by his art department.
These exclusive pieces are an important addition to the collection of Harry Potter fine art images spanning the book series and films that have been previously released. This film art connects the collectors with the design and development of some of their favorite scenes and moments from the movie series, evoking in the viewer the same excitement that comes from the pen of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
