Magical News! We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our incredibly talented artist, Levi Pinfold, will be illustrating the final two books in the Harry Potter Illustrated Editions series for Bloomsbury! 

Levi Pinfold, a multi-award-winning illustrator known for his atmospheric and intricate storytelling, will continue the breathtaking visual legacy established by Jim Kay.
