If you're a fan of the 'Harry Potter' franchise, you'll love Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2009 campaign, which was shot by Steven Meisel. The dark, brooding shoot takes place in what looks like a Hogwarts library--complete with paper flying through the air. It's the sort of spot where it's easy to imagine magic taking place.
