Jim Kay's Illustrations Allow Fans to Relive the Magic of Harry Potter

Harry Potter illustrated books are the perfect item to add to any serious potter head's collection. Through award-winning illustrator Jim Kay's interpretations, the books come alive with a new life that seems almost magical.

Jim Kay is more than qualified to be illustrating the beloved Harry Potter series as he won the Carnegie medal for his work on Patrick Ness's A Monster Calls. His art style is the perfect match for the Harry Potter world, from beautiful watercolour landscapes to his wicked character portraits.

The illustrated book for Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets will feature 115 new colour images, and is to be published in more than 21 languages around the world, so as many people as possible can enjoy Kay’s artwork.

Kay will be working his way through all seven books to give fans his unique visions of J.K Rowling’s universe.
