In time for the eighth, sort of, Harry Potter book “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” which will be released at midnight Sunday, comes “The Unofficial Guide to Crafting the World of Harry Potter.” ($17.99, Adams Media)
With no help from J.K. Rowling, author Jamie Harrington takes some of the elements of the books and creates crafts. Inside you can make tie-die shirts in the colors of the Hogwarts houses, a golden snitch necklace and lightening scar earrings, a spell book journal, a monster “Book of Monsters” tablet cover, and pencil wands, butterbeer lip balm and potion lotion and more.
