Harry Potter Film Wizardry

First the bad news. This app, based on the book of the same name, costs $13. That's plenty for a muggle. But the good news is that that it succeeds in satisfying the curiosity of any Harry Potter aficionado, young or old, with added ("oh wow!") interactive features that include pinch and zoom set blueprints, behind-the-scenes photos from the movie sets, and trailers for each Harry Potter movie. See... that's why you spent $500 on an iPad. Don't pass up the "extras" with some goodies from Scrollmotion, a New York Based studio known for their interactive finger scrolling techniques, letting you flip through the official Quidditch World Cup Programme, or Harry's official letter of acceptance into Hogwarts. The popup table of contents lets you navigate sequentially.
