A student from Hungary is in "the middle of a storm" after Harry Potter book designs she made for her university coursework went viral.
Kincső Nagy, 26, an MA graphic design student at the University of West Hungary's Institute of Applied Arts in Sopron, used laser cutting, stencilling, pop-up and glow in the dark paint to create cover illustrations for each book in the series, as well as a fully-illustrated edition of the first JK Rowling story, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
She originally posted her course designs on the showcase website Behance in September, but was amazed by the reaction after they were posted on Reddit.
"I get huge amount of mails; it is really like I'm in the middle of a storm," Nagy told The Telegraph by email from Hungary. "I was really surprised how many people liked my Harry Potter redesign."
Europe appears to be leading the charge in quality Harry Potter fan products, with Nagy's success coming only days after news that Potter fans can study at 'Hogwarts' thanks to a co-operative effort between Danish and Polish role-playing groups which has set up a wizarding school in a Polish castle.
