Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix

The Illustrated Edition of J.K. Rowling’s fifth Harry Potter adventure brings Harry Potter and his world to life in full colour, brilliantly evoked by Jim Kay with guest artist Neil Packer. As the Order of the Phoenix keeps watch over Harry, Hogwarts faces a year of secrets, subterfuge and suspicion. This dark, richly illustrated instalment features more than 160 illustrations in a wide range of visual styles, weaving Kay’s renowned reinterpretation with Packer’s distinctive artistry into the heart of the story. A breathtaking visual feast for both long-time fans and new readers, it invites you to revisit iconic locations and unforgettable characters as Harry and Dumbledore’s Army prepare for the coming battle against Lord Voldemort.

Two virtuoso talents join forces in this edition: Jim Kay, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, and acclaimed guest illustrator Neil Packer, laureate of the 2021 BolognaRagazzi Award for non-fiction. The result is a stunning collaboration that enriches J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world with striking, eclectic illustrations that complement the narrative and deepen the magical atmosphere.
