Behind the scenesEdit

• This prop, featured in the Library scenes throughout the Harry Potter films, was based on an actual translation of Grimm's fairy tales. That particular cover art features a intricately illuminated initial "H", that was, most likely, impossible to incorporate into the prop, so the prop actually reads "Ousehold Stories".
