Jim Kay’s colour illustrations for the Harry Potter books are extraordinary, adding something new and exciting to stories that some readers will know practically by heart. In this the second of the series, he’s really into his stride, and there are wonderful full-page portraits – Dobby perched on Harry’s bed, scabby toes dangling; Draco Malfoy, all sneer and suspicion – as well as glorious double pages revealing Knockturn Alley, and the terrifying entrance to the Chamber of Secrets itself.
His imagination is equal to J.K. Rowling’s vision and he brings her magical creatures to life, whether via a busy line of little goblins scampering across the bottom of the page, or a page of botanical notes on Mandrakes. A book for fans to treasure, and everyone to wonder at.

Jim Kay's dazzling depiction of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world has won legions of fans since the first Illustrated Edition of the Harry Potter novels was published in hardback in 2015, becoming a bestseller around the world. This irresistible smaller-format paperback edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets perfectly pairs J.K.
