UPDATED: “Prisoner of Azkaban” Illustrated Edition Now Available for Pre-Order!
Over the last two years, we’ve been captivated by the beautifully illustrated Jim Kay editions of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. And soon we’ll be seeing Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Professor Trelawney, and more, as Jim Kay brings to life Harry’s third year at Hogwarts.
The illustrated Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban will be released on October 3, 2017, and it is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com for $39.99 and Amazon.co.uk for £24.13.
If you’re in the UK and Ireland, you can also pre-order it on sale from Bloomsbury for £21.00 (30% off the list price), and you’ll receive “an exclusive Harry Potter gift item”! Last year, the pre-ordered Chamber of Secrets regular illustrated edition came with a wall sticker, and the deluxe illustrated edition came with a tote bag.
The deluxe illustrated Prisoner of Azkaban – featuring a pull-out double gatefold, a cloth cover and slipcase, and gilt edges on premium-grade paper – does not appear to come with a gift item this year, but it can be pre-ordered from Bloomsbury for a hefty £135.00 (10% off the list price).
Unfortunately, we don’t yet have any images from the book, but it shouldn’t be long before the cover is revealed. We can’t wait to see what beautiful new illustrations Jim Kay has in store!
