J.K. Rowling is the author of the record-breaking,
multi-award-winning Harry Potter novels. Loved by fans around the
world, the series has sold over 500 million copies, been translated
into over 80 languages, and made into eight blockbuster films. She
has written three companion volumes in aid of charity: Quidditch
Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (in
aid of Comic Relief and Lumos), and The Tales of Beedle the Bard
(in aid of Lumos), as well as a screenplay inspired by Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them, which marked the start of a
five-film series to be written by the author. She has also
collaborated on a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Parts One and Two, which opened in London’s West End in the summer
of 2016 and on Broadway in early 2018. In 2012, J.K. Rowling’s
digital company Pottermore was launched, where fans can enjoy news,
features and articles, as well as original content from J.K.
Rowling. She is also the author of The Casual Vacancy, a novel for
adult readers, and the Strike crime series, written under the
pseudonym Robert Galbraith. She has received many awards and
honours, including an OBE and Companion of Honour, France’s Légion
d’honneur, and the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
Jim Kay won the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2012 for his illustrations
in A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. He studied illustration at the
University of Westminster, and worked in the Library & Archives of
Tate Britain and then as an assistant curator of botanical
illustrations at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew before returning
to producing art full-time. After a one-man exhibition at Richmond
Gallery he was approached by a publisher and his freelance career
began. Alongside his illustration work, Jim has produced concept
work for film and television, and contributed to the group
exhibition Memory Palace at the V&A Museum in London. The
Illustrated Edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was
published to international acclaim. Bloomsbury has commissioned Jim
to illustrate all seven books in J.K. Rowling’s classic series. Jim
lives and works in Northamptonshire with his wife.
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
