It's hard to believe, but 20 years have passed since a baby-faced Daniel Radcliffe took the screen test that would lead to him becoming Harry Potter for an entire generation of movie-goers. And now it's time to introduce a new generation to the magic that is the Harry Potter films.
Join Cecilia Tan, a writer, editor, and devoted Harry Potter fan, as she takes you back to Hogwarts, through a fan-centric guided tour of all eight movies in THE BINGE WATCHER'S GUIDE TO THE HARRY POTTER FILMS where you can re-live all the excitement and wonder of seeing Harry hop on his broom for the very first time. Tan will guide you through loving, fun--yet occasionally snarky--recaps of each film, as well slather on many behind-the-scenes facts and stories about how the films were made. Casting decisions, near misses, movie artistry: she’ll cover it all, and more, as well as critical analysis of the films' significance in pop culture, filmmaking, and history.
Not only that, since this is a Binge Watcher's Guide, Tan shares actual tips for binge watching, including recipes and suggestions for hosting your own Harry Potter themed binge-watching party.
Cecilia Tan is the award-winning author of the Magic University series, which puts an adult spin on the “Harry Potter” school trope by sending her hero to college to study sex magick. She is also the author of the Slow Surrender erotic romance series, The Prince's Boy, Daron's Guitar Chronicles, and many other books. The awards amassed in her nearly 30 years in writing and publishing include the Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award, Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice award, and induction into the Saints & Sinners LGBT Writers Hall of Fame.
She can often be found throwing Harry-Potter themed parties at science fiction conventions like Arisia, Wiscon and Worldcon. When she's not traveling the world by Muggle flying device or train, she can be found at either her 1887 Victorian home in the Boston area, where she lives with her partner and two cats, or writing in a tea shop nearby.
