Review:

Seeing Jim Kay's illustrations moved me profoundly. I love his interpretation of Harry Potter's world, and I feel honoured and grateful that he has lent his talent to it (J.K. Rowling)

Kay's illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a triumph - a book so alive it seems to jump, explode and slither out of your hands as you read (Praise for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Illustrated Edition, Telegraph)

It is stunning . with full colour illustrations throughout from Greenaway Medal winner Kay, who breathes incredible life into these much loved characters and locations, staying faithful to Rowling's vision but revitalising the story for a new generation (Praise for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Illustrated Edition: Bookseller)
