Product Information

The pencil sketch that I cannot help revisiting lives on page 220 and depicts a haggard Hagrid riding his flying motorcycle. Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy. Every brushstroke, ink line, and pencil sketch breathes life into the wizarding world imagery that readers know and love.

Every quote featured in the book includes the book title, chapter, and chapter title where the quote can be found in the series, so readers never have to wonder where the memory came from. A Magical Year brings together Harry, Ron, Hermione and a host of other beloved characters in a glorious illustrated compendium that readers everywhere will cherish for years to come.You might have all the books, know the films by heart, even be the owner of a Hogwarts wand, but here’s something that will delight and also surprise even the most dedicated Harry Potter fan.

All around, Jim Kay’s scenic artwork and decorative painter’s marks bring that moment to life in breathtaking detail. Jim Kay has been enchanting readers since the publication of the Illustrated Edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 2015.Me hubiera gustado que hubieran sido algo más extensos (algunos solo son dos frases y ni siquiera de las más memorables) o al menos escenas más destacadas, aquellas que siempre llevas contigo y que te encanta releer una y otra vez. Pro fanoušky potterovské ságy, která si připomněla 20 let od premiéry prvního filmového vyprávění, je tato kniha nostalgickým společníkem na každý den v roce. K rowling but i wanted to get it because i want to support Jim and the amazing work he's done for this series because he honestly needs all the praise we can give him. The first two pages feature small watercolor images: a young Harry Potter holding a Chocolate Frog and a bumpy toad sitting on a thick book. His unique interpretation is both captivating and transporting – picture frozen icicles glinting on the snowy towers of Hogwarts, the dancing eyes of Professor Albus Dumbledore, or the infectious hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley.
