Harry Potter fans, rejoice!

An oversized coffee-table behemoth of a book, "Harry Potter: Page to Screen" by Bob McCabe is a wonderful wallow. The 504 pages are rich with photographs, drawings and anecdotes from the movies. It is aimed squarely at the "Harry Potter" fan who has it all, and it hits the bull's-eye.
The film world of "Harry Potter" started in 1997 when producer David Heyman was introduced to the manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" _ the British title for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." The manuscript had been retrieved from a slush pile in the office, and while skeptical, Heyman started reading and fell in love. Twelve years later, they wrapped the eighth and final movie of a blockbuster series of films.

From wikipedia:
Conrad Weiser (November 2, 1696 – July 13, 1760), born Johann Conrad Weiser, Jr., was a Pennsylvania German (a.k.a., Pennsylvania Dutch) pioneer, interpreter and effective diplomat between the Pennsylvania Colony and Native Americans. He was a farmer, soldier, monk, tanner, and judge as well. He contributed as an emissary in councils between Native Americans and the colonies, especially Pennsylvania, during the 18th century's tensions of the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War).
