Multi-award-winning artist Levi Pinfold delivers the show-stopping, full-colour Illustrated Edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the pivotal sixth story in J.K. Rowling’s classic series.
Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore set out from Privet Drive one summer night into a future swirling with suspicion and dread. Evil is gathering, the Ministry of Magic is in turmoil and even Hogwarts is no longer safe. Students and professors are on their guard. Only Draco Malfoy and his Slytherin faithfuls seem emboldened, and the Dark Mark looms in the night sky. Harry needs to find out who he can trust, and who he should fear. The time is coming when he must face his destiny alone.
The iconic Harry Potter Illustrated Editions series, first imagined by Jim Kay, has been thrilling readers worldwide since 2015. Now the collection continues. Levi Pinfold takes the adventure forward with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – dazzling, unabridged and in vivid colour.
Richly illustrated from cover to cover, Levi Pinfold’s bold new vision of Harry’s journey conjures a wizarding world so complete, you feel as if you could step straight into it. Every page tingles with magic. Wander the ancient halls of Hogwarts, encounter favourite students and professors, and lose yourself in scenes rendered with astonishing depth and detail. Pinfold has created a powerful and evocative tour de force, and the ultimate edition for every fan’s bookshelf.
‘Levi Pinfold’s illustrations are spellbinding. He’s an exceptional artist who’s brought Harry’s world alive in a unique and wonderful way.’ J.K. Rowling
‘And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.’
J.K. ROWLING is the author of the enduringly popular Harry Potter books. After the idea for Harry Potter came to her on a delayed train journey in 1990, she plotted out and started writing the series of seven books and the first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in the UK in 1997. The series took another ten years to complete, concluding in 2007 with the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The Harry Potter books have now sold over 600 million copies in 85 languages, been listened to as audiobooks for over one billion hours and made into eight smash hit movies. To accompany the series, J.K. Rowling wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of her international children’s foundation Lumos. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them went on to inspire a new series of films featuring Magizoologist Newt Scamander. Harry’s story as a grown-up was continued in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which J.K. Rowling wrote with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany, and which is now playing in locations around the world. She is also the author of a bestselling crime fiction series written under the pen name Robert Galbraith, and two stand-alone children’s novels, The Ickabog and The Christmas Pig. J.K. Rowling has received many awards and honours for her writing, including the OBE and Companion of Honour, and a Blue Peter Gold Badge. She supports a wide number of humanitarian causes through her charitable trust Volant and is the founder of the international children’s care reform charity Lumos. To find out more about J.K.
