Review: Collection of Harry Potter Colouring Books

I am Laura, and I am a Potter Head. I will never grow tired of these amazing stories. When I received these wonderful colouring books in the post for review, I was beyond excited. I love an adult colouring book. It’s an activity I’ve liked all my life and find relaxing (and can be for a lot of people especially if you have anxiety or have trouble relaxing.) I have found that people either do love them or hate them but I find colouring books can be really good for wellbeing and mental health.

I received the full size version of The Magical places edition,  the compact edition of the Harry Potter colouring book as well as postcard editions. It was hard to decide which one to try first.
The illustrations in these books are beautiful and really capture the greatness of this incredible world. The details within them are great and a wide range of characters and places are represented.

I decided to try the Hogwarts crest first in the postcard edition. What is good about these is that you don’t have to have a good knowledge of the colours. You can choose how you want it to look or simply (as I did) look up an example and copy the colours.

I think, if I had to pick, I think the postcard sizes were the ones I enjoyed working on the most. Once I had done the Hogwarts crest, I moved onto the Slytherin one. Once complete, I sent it to my niece in the post for a bit of fun. Said niece is also a big fan of Harry Potter and is a member of Slytherin  (I’m a Gryffindor but we get on OK. Ha Ha.)

These books are perfect for people of all ages. I am certainly going to enjoy to continue to fill in these drawings and found them very calming.

I recommend it for any Potter fan in your life or if you’re a fan of adult colouring books and Harry Potter. It is a wonderful reason to buy some lovely pencils and settle down to escape for a while or if you are looking for a Christmas present, these are perfect. Sorry, I mentioned the ‘C’ word didn’t i.

(Thank you to FMCM for the review copies.)

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
