Neato: Fan Created Harry Potter Criterion Collection

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 Criterion Collection Patrick Sullivan

With the impeding release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II and Harry Potter: The Complete Collection coming later this month, I felt it only necessary to make you aware of this amazing fan-made Criterion Collection of all of the Harry Potter films. Patrick Sullivan, a recent graduate of Cooper Union, created for his senior portfolio an amazing design of a complete collection of the Harry Potter films if they were distributed by The Criterion Collection. Go on ahead to see every design and box-set art for his project!

The Criterion Collection is a video-distribution company that recognizes that redistributes films that they recognize as being “important classic and contemporary films” for film enthusiasts. With each Criterion release comes new box-art that fully embraces the beauty of the film and yet has a simplistic nature to them. If you really want to get into it, you could almost say they are a hipster distribution company.

Some of their more familiar library of films consist of: Che, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fish Tank, Antichrist, The Darjeeling Limited, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas. The company has many more, so check out their site.

Sullivan’s designs are incredible. I wish they were real and in Blu-ray because I would buy them immediately just for the art alone. He takes on the distrubution company’s style of DVD box-art design head-on and in my opinion nails it. Not only does he give each cover the personality of each film, but you can tell he really took effort into each aspect design.
