Now that it’s September, it’s not long until the highly anticipated illustrated edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone” is released across the world. Bloomsbury is releasing the book, which is illustrated by Jim Kay, in the UK, and Scholastic in the US.
We all know where Harry’s story starts, on that train from Manchester to London, and how J.K. Rowling found herself an agent after numerous attempts, before David Heyman picked up the book for film production. But how much do you know about the man who decided to publish the first book?

Our friends over at Always J.K. Rowling recently spoke with Bryony Evens, one of the first people to read the beginning chapters of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” before it had been published. They’ve shared their interview with Bryony so that the fans of Harry, Jo, and the “Potter” series can understand what it was like picking up that book, not knowing how much her life was about to change!
With less than two weeks until Harry Potter Book Night, venues across the UK (and a few in the US!) are making preparations for an evening of “Potter” activities. With so many awesome events going on, it will be hard to choose which one to attend – but we know you’ll make it through somehow. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of all of the celebrations we’ve heard about so far…
Waterstone’s Piccadilly has announced their plans for Harry Potter Book Night! All the details here.
