Join me today to watch me colouring one of the pages in a Harry Potter colouring book using Copic Markers. Post includes video and Copic Colour Map along with some flip through videos of the Harry Potter colouring books in my collection!
Colouring Book Therapy Posts:
If you’re a first time reader here, or have missed a few posts, here’s a list of all my “Colouring Book Therapy” posts so far! I missed a week or two recently due to the craziness of the Stamping Bella release preview posts, but I finally found some time to unwind with my colouring books, and I’m back to share that process with you.

Harry Potter Colouring Book – Magical Creatures Postcard Edition:
If you follow me on Instagram you may be aware that I love most things Harry Potter related. So, naturally I had to pick up some Harry Potter colouring books to play with!
I have a few of the Harry Potter Colouring Books in different sizes:
- Harry Potter Colouring Book UK Link* / US Link*
- Harry Potter Colouring Book Compact Edition UK Link*
- Harry Potter Colouring Book Postcard Edition UK Link* / US Link*
- Harry Potter Magical Places & Characters UK Link* / US Link*
- Harry Potter Magical Creatures Postcard Edition UK Link* / US Link*
Watch the flip through videos in the playlist below or in HD over on YouTube.
Here in the UK all of the books are published by Studio Press and are of a decent quality. The larger and compact editions feature double sided page designs, the postcard editions are single-sided with the usual postcard markings on the reverse and the postcards are a nice heavyweight cardstock.
The larger editions include some full colour images from the films in the back, which is a nice touch for reference purposes.
Because I wanted to colour using Copic Markers UK link*/US link*, I opted to colour a page from the postcard edition so that bleed-through wouldn’t be a concern. I really like the postcard editions for this, and the fact that they take less time to complete also doesn’t hurt!
Coloured Page:
The pixies were electric blue and about eight inches high, with pointed faces and voices so shrill it was like listening to a lot of budgies arguing. The moment the cover had been removed, they had started jabbering and rocketing around, rattling the bars and pulling bizarre faces at the people nearest them. – Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
Colouring using Copic Markers on the postcard was not dissimilar to colouring on Bristol Board using markers.
A light touch is generally advisable as the ink may “travel” a little more than you might be used to on specialist marker papers, and lighter colours or the colourless blender may also “push” darker colours around more. With a light hand and avoiding the temptation to over-blend however, you can achieve some nice results!

Copic Colour Map:
I have created a Copic Colour Map for the page I coloured in the Harry Potter Magical Creatures Postcard Edition UK Link* / US Link*. I hope you find it useful!
