I have been struggling with mental health illness for some time, and it would be wrong to try and continue when I can no longer give the fans and the series the full commitment and energy it deserves. She has also written three short companion volumes for charity, including Fantastic Bea sts and Where to Find Them, which later became the inspiration for a new series of films, also written by J.

No detail has been spared here, with each page lovingly decorated with different wizarding world flashbacks, from the snowy towers of Hogwarts to the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley. Rowling is the author of the enduringly popular Harry Potter series, as well as several stand-alone novels and a bestselling crime fiction series. K. Rowling wrote with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany, and which is now playing in multiple locations around the world. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them went on to inspire a new series of films featuring Magizoologist Newt Scamander.Her latest children’s novel The Christmas Pig, a standalone adventure story about a boy’s love for his most treasured thing and how far he will go to find it, is out now. For now, fans can take a closer look at Jim Kay’s craftmanship, with A Magical Year celebrating pieces from his previous offerings alongside never-seen-before sketches.

I love his interpretation of Harry Potter’s world, and I feel honoured and grateful that he has lent his talent to it. K. Rowling wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of Lumos.

After ten years of working with Bloomsbury, it is with great sadness that I have to step down from illustrating Harry Potter. We've all found inspiration between the pages of Jo’s books; for myself, it's that intangible moment between reading words and creating pictures that I enjoyed, and shall miss, so much.The series took another ten years to complete, concluding in 2007 with the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. What comforts me is the knowledge that Bloomsbury will continue working with and supporting other artists to make the remaining books both beautiful and inspiring for new generations of young readers.

Picture the magic with these dazzling, full-colour illustrated editions of the Harry Potter series (featuring complete and unabridged text). The visual content of the book is composed of a selection of iconic artwork from Bloomsbury’s four Illustrated Editions, complemented by unseen pencil sketches and preparatory studies from the Jim Kay art archive.

K. Rowling’s acclaimed Harry Potter Illustrated Editions, has announced that he will be stepping down to focus on his mental health. K. Rowling, I must thank them both for giving me ten years of happy scribbling, and for the opportunity of meeting so many Potter fans from all walks of life.We will miss collaborating with Jim enormously, but he will always have a very special place in our Harry Potter family of unparalleled illustration talent.
