Harry Potter – A Magical Year: The Illustrations of Jim Kay

Product Information

The determination on his face is clear and makes it evident to the reader that what Hagrid is doing at that moment is of the utmost importance. Kniha Harry Potter – A Magical Year, tedy Magický rok, vezme čtenáře na nezapomenutelnou cestu všemi ročními obdobími v Bradavicích. The Kate Greenaway Medal winner's bewitching character studies, sweeping landscapes and beautifully observed pencil details reveal the skill and process of an artist working at the peak of his powers. All around, Jim Kay's scenic artwork and decorative painter's marks bring that moment to life in breathtaking detail. And on each and every page are Jim Kay’s extraordinary illustrations, both black and white and colour.

It also has reminded me that I should get the Illustrated Editions eventually - the art really is beautiful. All around, Jim Kay’s scenic artwork and decorative painter’s marks bring that moment to life in breathtaking detail.

Now, in Harry Potter: A Magical Year, a selection of Kay’s most iconic illustrations are joined by previously unseen pencil sketches and preparatory pieces, offering unique and fascinating insight into the artist’s sketchbook. Las ilustraciones de Jim Kay son preciosas, amo la edición ilustrada de Harry Potter por esa misma razón, pero este libro solo es una recopilación de ilustraciones de los libros ilustrados y pedazos de texto al azar. This was a very quick read for me as i was only really focused on the details of the drawings that were in the book and only slightly glanced over some of the quotes that were chosen. Moreover, I very much enjoyed the fact that some illustrations were simple (yet intricate) pencil drawings while others were full-colour illustrations.

Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany to continue Harry’s story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which opened in London in 2016 and is now playing worldwide.After a one-man exhibition at Richmond Gallery he was approached by a publisher and his freelance career began. The publishers just put together a collection of his illustrations from the previous books and added quotes and short paragraphs from the Harry Potter series.

The enduringly popular adventures of Harry, Ron and Hermione have gone on to sell over 500 million copies, be translated into over 80 languages and made into eight blockbuster films. Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy.

No hay congruencia, no hay sentido o lógica en la distribución de los textos, ni siquiera son los mejores textos o frases o escenas de la saga, solo son copy and page de pedazos de los libros. Of course i got this book because of Jim's amazing illustrations and he hasn't disappointed me whatsoever in any of the ones that he's currently done for this world. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said "taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind," gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, Hons and Rebels. The Kate Greenaway Medal winner’s bewitching character studies, sweeping landscapes and beautifully observed pencil details reveal the skill and process of an artist working at the peak of his powers. Multiple creatures appear to be resting in the grasses surrounding the building, and the foggy Forbidden Forest frames the image.
