Hello! My name is Chie. I am likely to be the girl you'll see whose eyes would bulge out of their sockets at the sight of a book store and be seized by waves of epileptic shock whenever there is a book bargain. I'll probably be the one pushing you out of my way to get through the book bargain bins and tediously combing through the pile. (I forget my manners when it comes to books). I am tone deaf and have two left feet. But I would endure the embarrassment of a performance in exchange for books (terms and conditions apply). I have created this blog in order to find kindred souls. Those who would gladly share the same passion for books and reading because although reading is solitary task most of the time, it's no fun having no one to ramble to after..
Bloomsbury Reveals Plans to Celebrate Twentieth "Potter" Anniversary
Date: Wednesday, February 10, 2016 Time: 7:51 PM
Last October saw the release of the first Jim Kay Illustrated Harry Potter. The next in the series, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, is due to be released this coming October. The first in the series had already sold over 94,000 copies in the UK. In the lead up to the release of the second illustrated book and following the second successful Harry Potter Book Night on February 4, Bloomsbury have revealed their upcoming Potter plans. With the twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone looming in 2017, plenty of plans are in place to celebrate this exciting anniversary. Special Hogwarts house editions of the first book, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone will be published in 2017 to coincide with the anniversary.
The plans also include ways of celebrating the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film, which is due to be released this coming November. An updated version of the school text book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them originally published in 2001, will be released early 2017. The new edition will contain new content from J.K. Rowling.
Bloomsbury also plan to publish Illustrated editions of The Hogwarts Library books and the releases will be staggered from 2017.
Bloomsbury will commission three new illustrators to create lavish, full-colour illustrated editions of J.K. Rowling's three Hogwarts Library books, starting with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in Autumn 2017, The Tales of Beedle of the Bard in 2018, and Quidditch Through The Ages in 2019. Illustrator announcements will follow in due course.
