"Hermione's Book" Prop

[Guest]

[Roz]

In the absence of any news about the new set, let's talk about the old one - maybe Mike or someone else with eagle-sharp eyes can help me. I have been wondering for a while about "Hermione's Book" prop from GOFU. Does anyone have any idea which book it's supposed to be? We've seen all sorts of variations of the card:

(some examples)















Does anyone have any idea of what the book might be? Whether it's a text on one of the reading lists that we have heard of or maybe just something obscure from the library?

It seems to me that Anna's swatch (RAG) might be something to do with dragons, and it looks pretty scaley in the background there. Julie's swatch says "of" and has something that could be a flower or a scaley dragon in the background. Has anyone else seen any that give any more insight? Please add in any new scans you find

Um how about the 'Jane's book of Dragon Identification' 1st Ed of course

Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit

Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland
Men Who Love Dragons Too Much

Yeah but it doesn't look to me like a O after the G

Maybe Anna and Julie could tilt their cards and see a bit more of the lettering inside the die-cut?

[Anna]

I just looked at my card per Cindy's comment and the letter before the A is definitely an R.  The letter after the G looks to be a letter I, or possibly an N, but an I makes better sense.  So we have "RAGI", I wonder what word could that be from?  "RAGING"?

[kbmum]

Maybe the letters are part of the author's name.

it is prob just a random library book and artbox being the LAME-O's that they are just slapped a picture of Hermione holding a book onto the card 

GIVE US SOME INFO ABOUT MM!!!

It looks like part of the Title has "Book of Magical Creatures"

my girlfiend sam has a hermiones book prop and on her swatch its got a red backgroung with faint wirting on it and a section of a arm and hand which looks abit scaley like a mermaids arm? so we all was thought that the book about what creatures are in the lake
i'll see if i can get her to put it on for you guys

[grecopa]

Please do!  I would love to see it.

[Roz]

OOh yes, that sounds awesome

[5594mike]

i went diving in to GOFU scans and comments pages. on page 28 to 30 i found this set of pics that bush 360 made of the three hermione book props he pulled and me and sam bought the one at the top left, with the arm

sorry for now that i cant get a better scan of sams book prop but i dont have the card at mine. as she has them safley kept at hers with her working scanner Gerrrrrrr!!!

[pinksamstar]

haha my scanners not working at the mo so that picture will have to make do for now
this might not be too relevant, but what does everyones elses swatch feel like?? ours feels like really thin copy paper, i thought it was quite weird as it looks like it would feel embossed 

[grecopa]

Nice card!  Lovely color and the hand looks terrific.    Someone else will have to ring in about texture, I don't have one of those.  They all look to me like they should be really thick and leathery feeling. 

[pinksamstar]

aww thankyou ive seen another one and it looks like it has part of an arm on it as well, and were wondering if it could be connected to the swatch on mine, ill go look for it in a bit

They all look to me like they should be really thick and leathery feeling. 

i thought that, it'd be really interesting to see how different peoples are in thickness and texture   

[Roz]

*ooer... please don't kill me but I don't approve of poking fingers at swatches*

[grecopa]

But Roz, it's so hard not to! 

[5594mike]

yeah roz you have to touch them once
you know if you add some of these hermione book props things start to add together

with the third card down from the top the red flame like image could be the mermaids swirling hair under water.

with the fith card down the text says OF . maybe Y OF M and that could be MINISTRY OF MAGIC??? what do you guys think?

with the seventh card the text says ???IC AN??? so could that be the other end of the word MAGIC and for it to carry on to say AND. as the dragon like image looks the same as the fith cards swatch. looking very simetrical like a logo???

yeah just thought to point what i think i can see

[pinksamstar]

i wish there were more scans on here of the variants, its getting really interesting, although im not sure its an M on  the fifth one, maybe a W? maybe something to do with the magic of waterbeasts or something? as its so relevant to the film, what with the mermaids hand etc....   just a suggestion lol
