Mar. 20th, 2014 11:39 amBloomsbury are releasing new children's editions of the Harry Potter books, illustrated by award winner Jonny Duddle. The new editions will also include highlights of Pottermore.com [...] All seven of the new edition print books will be on sale from September 1, 2014
...by which point Pottermore won't possibly have finished content for all the books, will it? Actually, they'd have to have all their content prepared well in advance of a Sept 1 release date to be able to print the books in time. Isn't this edition a little premature? Or are they going to issue yet another later on?
I will be interested to see a different illustrator, though. I wonder if they will have more illustrations than just the little chapter header bits Mary GrandPre did in the US editions. You can see cover art for Philosopher's Stone here. I dunno if I am going to like this style.
