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!
The Blair Partnership, JK Rowling’s literary agency, have just officially announced the massively exciting news that JK Rowling will soon be releasing a new book for adults! They don’t give much away, saying “Further details will be announced later in the year.”
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 »
