In an
interview with
Art Insights,
Mary GrandPre (the U.S. Potter illustrator) talks about J.K.Rowling, her favourite cover and much more!
Quote:
Leslie: What part does J.K. Rowling play in all of this?
Mary: She looks over the sketches, and puts her ideas, her two cents in. She has always been such a pleasure, very easy to work with, always right on board with everything we've done.
Leslie: I'm sure lots of fans want to know, what was your favorite Harry Potter cover?
Mary: (pause) I'd have to say Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (book 7). It was the most mature. It had this dramatic explosive point. I did love them all, but the last one was definitely my favorite.
