The genesis of Harry Potter goes back to 1990 when J.K. Rowling was caught on a delayed train somewhere between Manchester and Kings Cross Station in London. Seven years and many submissions to publishers later, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone finally saw print, swiftly becoming a word-of-mouth hit. Within twelve months, under the Bloomsbury imprint, the Harry Potter series became a publishing phenomena, spawning an entire universe of magic.
The greatest adventure in children’s literature starts here. Discover J.K. Rowling's books and meet the boy who lived, the infant saviour of Voldemort’s dark reign, the wizard of the future: the one and only Harry Potter.
Seeing Jim Kay’s illustrations moved me profoundly,” wrote J.K. Rowling. “I love his interpretation of Harry Potter’s world, and I feel honoured and grateful he has lent his talent to it.” In one of publishing’s most ambitious and beautiful projects, experience each volume of Harry Potter as interpreted by the extraordinary artist Jim Kay. This is a growing series you will want to treasure forever.
