The Harry Potter books have been translated into morethan 85 languages around the world. While the words themselves strive to preserve J.K. Rowling's story faithfully across cultures, the covers of these editions tell a different tale: one of artistic freedom, cultural flavor, and unique interpretation. Over the years, dozens of talented illustrators have reimagined Harry, Hogwarts, and the wizarding world through their own eyes.
This book chronicles the fascinating journey of more than one hundred artists who, in one way or another, have shaped the face of Harry Potter across the globe. Each artist has brought their own background, culture, techniques, and preferences to the page, creating a gallery of styles that reflect the diversity of the readers themselves. Some of these illustrations are so iconic that they have defined an entire generation's image of the Boy Who Lived.
Here, you will find their stories and the surprising details behind the covers we have loved for more than two decades. From world-famous masterpieces to obscure editions known only to collectors, this book celebrates the many faces of Harry and the incredible community of artists who gave them life.
Foreword by Arthur Levine, American editor of the Harry Potter novels.
