Kay remains the “creative essence” for the illustrated Order of the Phoenix, however. Each piece is totally original – complementing Jim’s painterly narrative scenes whilst remaining uniquely Neil Packer. Neil’s decorative illustrations include an astonishing cutaway of the Ministry of Magic and an exquisite interpretation of centaur Firenze’s Divination classroom, along with other magical artefacts and favourite locations from the wizarding world. Neil has created approximately a quarter of the imagery for The Order of the Phoenix. This differentiation is conscious and deliberate, and Jim is excited to see his readers embrace Neil’s guest role on the project. Neil is an important artist in his own right, working in his own eclectic style to create beautiful, complementary artwork that is skilfully woven into the heart of the book. With the new edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix set to be released on October 11, Kay worked with artist and friend Neil Packer – described by Bloomsbury in a press release as a “guest collaborator” – on the project.
Readers now have their first look at the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from illustrator Jim Kay – and he has a collaborator for the massive new book.
