The famous Mary Grandpre - the person known for the illustrations on all of the American Harry Potter books so far, has agreed to create 'original art' for next year's Minnesota State Fair commemorative poster.
Each poster will be accompanied by a signed number print which consequently means that the posters will only be produced in limited quantities . The money raised from the sale of all the posters will support the fair's property and programmes in the future.

Being American, the first cover illustrations I saw we're the ones I bought. I do like all the other covers I've seen, but I do like the artwork on the US ones a lot. She's a good artist! Wish I could draw better...

She's a fantastic artist...
I prefer the British ones, but her drawings are extraordinary!
