NATALIE SMILLIE ILLUSTRATES POCKET POTTERS!

Natalie Smillie brings bite-sized magical charm to life in Harry Potter - Pocket Potters, Bloomsbury Children’s Books’ new mini-series packed with wizarding delight.

As a lifelong Potter aficionado, Natalie was the perfect match - her talent for character and world-building shines through in illustrations that invite readers to rediscover Hogwarts’ magic in compact form. Released this week, the Pocket Potters series offers a fresh, charming spin on the beloved universe in pocket-sized form.

“I’ve been a Potterhead ever since I bought the first book for my sister one Christmas. Many years later, we still share that love for the Wizarding World as grown-ups. Illustrating this book was a privilege, I loved bringing the characters from my imagination to life… I hope these illustrations inspire young readers to picture the magic for themselves and perhaps fall in love with this world just as I did.” — Natalie Smillie.
Natalie’s illustrations brim with warmth, character and charm, as we take a peek at Harry in his spidery cupboard under the stairs, find out what he buys in Diagon Alley and explore the Gryffindor dormitory. Get set for dragon encounters, Quidditch thrills, secret passwords and a wand from Ollivanders…
