I show a brief look inside the illustrated hardcover editions of Harry Potter. Written by J.K. Rowling Illustrated by Jim Kay #book #harrypotter #jkrowling #jimkay
@@SensitiveShellCollector, Alan Lee's art is very different from Jim Kay's. It's mostly landscapes and sometimes big battles. The Hobbit's illustrations is tbf a bit better because there's a lot of scetches with characters
if you ever do read harry potter please do book reviews or vlog on it! we love getting new content, its so rare to watch people reading them for the first time
Interestingly, the UK versions are all published by Bloomsbury, but the US versions are published by Arthur A. Levine for books 1-4 and Scholastic for book 5. They seem to be the same in content though (from what I can tell). Totally different ISBNs however.
@@Herr_Schindler There are loads of translations of the Harry Potter series into other languages (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Harry_Potter_translations), all of which had to be negotiated and approved by Rowling and here literary agents. So, perhaps even the minor changes from UK to US English were also pre-approved. If indeed the US and UK versions have such differences! (Lolmont above says they do).
Late to this, but Neil Packer assisted him on his last book and we all hope that Neil will take over and do the last two in a similiar style in honor of Mr. Kay!
Pretty nice editions. They're almost too big to be practical for reading however. At least for this adult who doesn't care much about all the illustrations! But I'm sure kids - like yours - will *LOVE* this!
The difference is, people with no imagination ability read illustrated editions. Book publishers especially love people like that, because they can produce “premium” editions like these and charge you out the wazoo for them. However, people who grew up reading and have been reading their whole life, and therefore, have very healthy and strong imagination capabilities, need only to read the standard Harry Potter Scholastic hardback editions, and save a lot more money.
@adam3797 Someone didn't watch the video .. you. If you had, you would have known that I didn't buy these. They were gifts my then 13 year old son had received. If you weren't so busy being a judgmental snob, you would have caught that at the very beginning of the video.
They are absolutely gorgeous! I really hope they make The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books like this one day! That would be amazing!
I believe they do have a version very similar to this with art by alan lee

this looks a bit childish so idk to buy or not
I own an edition of the hobbit illustrated by Jemima Caitlin and it's beautiful! not as illustrated as this books but pretty close
@@aniruddhsathe2420oh well ,your kid can read it when they get old enough
I purchased the first book for my son and this was a nice reminder to obtain copies of the rest in the collection.
So sad to hear about Jim Kay! I didn’t realize he retired. I only have the first three editions myself.
Great video and books I have all 5 of these beautiful books and can’t wait to add books 6 and 7 to them to complete my set .😀
Beautiful books! I'd like to see the spines next time, but thanks for the flip through.
Read the MinaLima ones, loved them, but only 3 available i guess number 4 and 5 will be Jim Kays work.
if you ever do read harry potter please do book reviews or vlog on it! we love getting new content, its so rare to watch people reading them for the first time
Thank you so much! I just ordered them!
Prisoner of Azkaban cover looks amazing 😍
I need to get these for my niece!!!!

The only difference like the original books is some translating UK English into American English. Like using '' vs "", so basically not much.
@@darklink2000 Editing the authors words?! I'm surprised JK Rowling would allow that.
@@-johnny-deep-, so Rowling would not allow any translations or what?

@@-johnny-deep-, there's no really big differences. I read both. Literally just a few changes
wow nice collection💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤
Please create the illustrated version of the last three
With Jim Kay gone who will illustrate the last 2 ?
That isn't a particularly nice way of putting it.
@@wouter7165 I said “gone” not deceased
Late to this, but Neil Packer assisted him on his last book and we all hope that Neil will take over and do the last two in a similiar style in honor of Mr. Kay!
@@wouter7165 He's not dead...
@@plumdutchess ahh so he meant to say he's just not illustrating them anymore. That explains it, thanks :)
Do the books have all the words and pages like its not cutting anything form the og ? and ends at the same word like the og?
As far as I'm aware, there is nothing missing from the text.
@@Jaysenpl ok thanks
Are these illustrated versions any different from the original books? Are they abridged?
As far as I know, they are unabridged.
Is it all of the content from the original books?
No, they are slightly abridged
They are the full story, all the content is there.
@@wchbang4811 They're unabridged.
@@WeaponsArePartOfMyReligionand what about the fifth?
On the fifth another illustrator helped Jim Kay
Pretty nice editions. They're almost too big to be practical for reading however. At least for this adult who doesn't care much about all the illustrations! But I'm sure kids - like yours - will *LOVE* this!
Are illustrated editions abridged versions of the original books
As far as I'm aware they are complete and unabridged.
What is difference between this book and other harry Potter book's story ❓️🤔❓️
There's no difference. It's just illustrated.

Someone's a killjoy.

Is there a new illustrator?? 🙀😯
Not that I know of.
@@Jaysenpl I am so over the lunar skies for books 6 and 7! ⭐️🌓☄️
8:35 stop video.
Sadly the fifth one is such a letdown..
The fifth one is awesome
