Per Jørgensen often uses models for his figures. This makes the figures as alive and as realistic as possible and, in this way, he creates a natural bridge between reality and fantasy. For the first two books, Harry Potter is drawn according to Erik, a boy who is a relative of Per Jørgensen. On the cover of the sixth book, 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince', Per Jørgensen has also used his family and himself as models.

If you ask Per Jørgensen why he was given the assignment for the cover illustrations, he will answer, with a modest grin, that it was a combination of luck and coincidence.

Per Jørgensen is one of the few illustrators in Denmark who draws and paints everything by hand. Thus, all the illustrations are small, unique master pieces.
Bidding is taking place here.

Well, all my HP books looks like that, so I'm kinda used to them. But I gotta admit that he's a really good drawer.
