Two new Deathly Hallows Part 2 wide banners
After all the portrait character posters that we've been treated to recently, two new wide banners for Deathly Hallows Part 2 have surfaced. The first is similar to
this one we got before the release of Part 1, and features good and evil fighting it out on either sides of the final battle. The other shows Voldemort casting Avada Kedavra, presumably at Harry, with the "It all ends" slogan.

The UK publishers of the Harry Potter series, Bloomsbury, has announced the release of an illustrated version of the seven book set. It is unknown whether it will be similar to the US edition of the books where Mary Grandpre’s drawings start each chapter. Bloomsbury had this to say of the new book set.
We are pleased to announce that as part of our long term strategy for Harry Potter we intend to publish illustrated editions of all seven Harry Potter books in a rolling program from 2013 onward in addition to our partnership on e-books with the Pottermore website.
Unfortunately, there is no update on when the BETA testing for Pottermore will cease and no time frame for when the e-books will be released. We will keep you informed of any new information when it becomes available. Thanks to Snitchseeker for the breaking news!

And a handwritten note from Jo on their site reads:
Although I’ve enjoyed writing it just as much, my next novel will be very different from the Harry Potter series.
Stay tuned for more news on this in the weeks and months ahead!
Update: We’ve now learnt from Publishers Lunch that the book will be published by Little, Brown. Get the whole story »
