On one hand, lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I was already working with Stuart Craig, the production designer on the films, and his next project at the time in 2000 was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Miraphora: I reckon we’re probably wizards. Gianfranco: First and foremost, I need to ask…What spell did you both cast to become so involved in the Wizarding World franchise? The Leaky Cauldron sat down for an unforgettable conversation with Miraphora and Eduardo to discuss the creation of their Chamber of Secrets and to reflect on their Wizarding World journey, 20 years later. Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the film release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, 2021 also marks 20 years of operation for the dynamic duo. However, that’s not the only reason Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima (MinaLima), are raising a glass of Butterbeer. MinaLima–the design studio behind the graphic style of all the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films–has conjured yet another bestseller with the release of their illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. For every witch or wizard, young or old, who has ever spent hours examining every detail of the Marauder’s Map, this conversation is for you.
