LEVI PINFOLD ILLUSTRATES HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

One of illustration's most extraordinary talents has stepped into the wizarding world again, and the results are nothing short of spellbinding. Levi brings his singular vision to the sixth fully illustrated edition of J.K. Rowling's beloved series, and the first glimpses are breathtaking.

This month we are thrilled to share a first look at Levi's illustrations for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, published by Bloomsbury. Taking up the baton from Jim Kay, Levi has made the world entirely his own - from the silver instruments of Dumbledore's office to the snow-dusted paths of Hogsmeade and the heady atmosphere of Professor Slughorn's Potions class. J.K. Rowling herself has described his work as spellbinding, and it's hard to disagree. The full edition publishes on 6th October 2026, and pre-orders are open now via Bloomsbury with 30% off and an exclusive tote bag featuring the cover.

Pepe Serra on Communication Through Creativity

Phosphor's Pepe Serra is a visual communicator and illustrator based in Tarragona, Catalonia.

Pepe has a deep interest in how images can shape understanding and spark emotion. "My work focuses on turning complex, abstract, or nuanced ideas into clear, striking visuals that engage the viewer both intellectually and emotionally," says Pepe, who specialises in "fast-paced digital illustration, combining clarity, boldness and a strong conceptual core".

While Pepe does have a distinct and identifiable style, often featuring long-limbed characters and a rich colour palette, the graphic communicator says he has "always been very clear that the common thread in my work isn't technique or style, but rather the concept and the idea I want to convey". Pepe says: "Illustration is simply a tool that allows us to communicate, just as we do with words".

"Over time, the technique has changed as a result of the tools I use, since professional illustration today cannot be understood without going through technological tools," Pepe told Diari de Tarronga.

Pepe regularly contributes to major international newspapers, collaborating closely with editors and art directors to meet tight deadlines without compromising depth or originality. Pepe says: "I approach every commission not just as a visual task, but as a chance to translate thought into form, helping audiences see things from a new perspective".

Alongside commissioned work, Pepe gives talks and workshops on creativity, conceptual thinking and visual communication. "I believe that illustration is not just a craft but a language — one that evolves constantly and offers endless potential for experimentation, critical reflection, and storytelling," says Pepe.
