Harry Potter fans are excited about news of a new release they thought they would never get. Ahead of the increasingly contentious Harry Potter HBO TV Show, while Hogwarts Legacy 2 is still a ways off, Harry Potter fans currently don’t have much going on, making this new surprise all the more notable. The new surprise is specifically for fans of the Harry Potter books, and especially the sixth book in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
For those that missed the announcement, Bloomsbury has teamed up with Levi Pinfold for a special, illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. After the release of this product in October 2026, the pair also announced they will reunite for the 7th and final book in the JK Rowling series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While some may not recognize the name, Pinfold has done work with Harry Potter in the past in the form of the Harry Potter Hogwarts House Editions and The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac.
Pinfold is about to take over the task that was left incomplete by Jim Kay, who illustrated the initial five books of the series but had to halt due to health issues. Some fans felt disheartened as they believed the illustrated collection would remain unfinished. However, while it won’t be completed by Jim Kay, this new development is considered the next best option.
“Damn, I’ve got to go take back all those comments where I said I didn’t think this was ever going to happen. I’m glad they are finishing these,” writes one fan in reaction to the news. Another fan adds: “Great news. I was worried they’d just stop at Order of the Phoenix.”
A third Harry Potter further adds: “Thanks goodness I was worried they had abandoned these. So now I just need to wait patiently for 18 months.”
It is unclear how much the special edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will cost when it releases next year. What Bloomsbury did provide is a preview of the illustrations that Harry Potter fans can expect.
