Here Are Images From The First Fully Illustrated Edition Of "Harry Potter"

Four beautiful illustrations of Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, and Malfoy from an upcoming full-color edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, due out in October 2015.


Scholastic and Bloomsbury, the publishing houses that put out the Harry Potter books in the United States and the United Kingdom, today released the first four images from the first fully illustrated version of the Harry Potter books.


Scholastic and Bloomsbury, the publishing houses that put out the Harry Potter books in the United States and the United Kingdom, today released the first four images from the first fully illustrated version of the Harry Potter books.


Jim Kay, an award-winning British artist, is set to do the artwork for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's — erm, Philosopher'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 in a release from Scholastic.


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. A representative for Scholastic told BuzzFeed there is no release date for the cover images yet.


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.

And there's Kay's interpretation of Draco Malfoy, who's looking eerie while getting magically measured for his Hogwarts robes in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, where he and Harry meet during Harry's first trip to Diagon Alley.

There's also an illustration of Hermione, who appears to be conjuring Bluebell Flames, which she used to set fire to Snape's robes during a Quidditch match, and also to save Harry and Ron from the Devil's Snare at the end of Sorcerer's Stone.
