The Art of Harry Potter by Jim Kay

Take a look at some of the illustrations from Jim Kay, who is set to do all the artworks for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which is due out in the U.S. and the U.K. on Oct. 6, 2015.

“To be given the opportunity to design the characters, the clothing, the architecture and landscapes to possibly the most expansive fantasy world in children’s literature, well let’s just say I’m extremely excited about it,” Kay said. This new deluxe hardcover edition will feature 110 full-color illustrations, as well as separate cover images done by Kay for the American and British editions.

Kay will also do the art for the fully illustrated editions of the other six Harry Potter books, which Scholastic plans to release once a year for the next six years, with the release of an illustrated Book 7, Deathly Hallows, in 2021.
