HARRY POTTER
20th Anniversary Covers
I came to the Harry Potter series late but I totally I fell in love with the books when finally I read them for the first time. So, when Scholastic approached me to create new covers and a box to celebrate the 20th anniversary, I was incredibly excited to find myself an actual part of this magical world.
I knew right away I wanted the covers to be in black and white, and I wanted to create a single image that told the story of all seven books. I wanted to focus on J. K. Rowling's themes around good and evil, and I wanted to show, like she did, that it's children and young people who will win the battle. The challenge was to create a single image that could be broken up into seven distinct covers that would each highlight important aspects from each book.
I was on Good Morning America to talk about the release of the 20th anniversary Harry Potter covers!
