As we reported earlier in the year, illustrator Jonny Duddle has been working hard on giving all the “Harry Potter” book covers a brand new look. Now, Bloomsbury has taken to Twitter to tell us when the “Chamber of Secrets” cover will be revealed.
Clare Melinsky, who illustrated the 2010 UK versions of the “Harry Potter” books (also known as the “Signature” editions), has spoken about some of the inspiration behind her drawings. The Scottish artist, who is known for her “chunky and colourful lino cuts,” is currently part of a three-day exhibition in London, which links Scotland with London.

It’s World Book Day in the UK today, which promotes and celebrates reading, particularly for children and young people.
