Creature design
and concept art

The process involved extensive research and numerous iterations to ensure each creature felt grounded in reality while possessing a sense of magic and wonder. From anatomical studies to final concept renderings, the goal was to bring J.K. Rowling’s imagination to life for the big screen.
A kelpie is a shape-changing aquatic spirit of Scottish legend. Its name may derive from the Scottish Gaelic words 'cailpeach' or 'colpach', meaning heifer or colt. Kelpies are said to haunt rivers and streams, usually in the shape of a horse.
