I access those by lifting the sticky tab, and unlatching the bonus material from the hardback front cover – and lo and behold, that bonus material proves itself to be a plywood sheet and a simple paper instruction booklet. Shove item A into slot B 22 times and you have a model of Buckbeak, and – those superlatives again – this is the biggest one of the three I've met, stretching all of 224mm (whatever that is in English). Of course, you also have a heck of a paint job, akin to the painstaking feathering job the original designers and CG crafters had to do for the high-definition movies. Which brings us to the reason for these products. Yes, my local multiplex is currently dragging all the Harry Potter films out for random-seeming reshowings, but they're not vitally current. The fact I take from these gift items is that you have something clever and substantial to make and keep, alongside the reasonably clever and substantial little book. CG artists don't make anything they can keep, so even if you're not quite at their level, you may well have an edge over them.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy. We also have a review of [[Incredibuilds: Aragog: Deluxe Model and Book Set (Harry Potter) by Jody Revenson]].
How about taking a break from all this crafting and modelling in the kitchen, with perhaps [[Gruffalo Crumble and Other Recipes by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler]]?
