J.K. Rowling's 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' illustrated edition's first look at art
Bloomsbury released the first previews from the upcoming The Tales of Beedle the Bard illustrated edition, with new art by Chris Riddell. The book will be out this October.
The illustrations below feature shots from the five short stories J.K. Rowling wrote, mentioned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, including: The Tale of the Three Brothers; Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump; The Fountain of Fair Fortune; The Wizard and the Hopping Pot; and The Warlock's Hairy Heart.

This illustration is from a tale that, according to Dumbledore, 'was the subject of the sole attempt to introduce a Christmas pantomime to Hogwarts' festive celebrations'... #thetalesofbeedleillustratedpic.twitter.com/I4aTnIjAF1
The dazzlingly brilliant Chris Riddell brings his magical illustration talents to J.K. Rowling’s gloriously inventive The Tales of Beedle the Bard in a fully illustrated colour edition of this essential classic for Harry Potter fans. Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, the volume includes ‘The Tale of the Three Brothers’, familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it played in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Mischievous and witty, these five rollicking tales are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairytales. Kindnesses are rewarded and selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard. Burping cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way. Each of the tales is accompanied by a deliciously subversive and insightful commentary by Professor Albus Dumbledore, all brought vividly to life with Riddell’s trademark wit and elegance.
Former Waterstones Children’s Laureate Chris Riddell is the only illustrator to have won the Kate Greenaway Medal three times, and is brought together here for the first time with one of the world’s best loved storytellers in this new edition of J.K. Rowling’s fairytale classic.
Much loved by generations of witches and wizards since they first appeared in the fifteenth century, this beautifully illustrated edition is set to become a firm favourite at bedtime in non-magical households the world over.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard is published in aid of Lumos, an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling.

i hope this would have more illustrations, and not just one or two bits. i already have the original Tales of the Beadle Bard hardcover book and those already have illustrations within them.

What can I say about it?! Those illustrations are amazing! I love the ones on the original book, but I think colors will make all the difference.
I already have a bookshelf destined exclusively for JK's books, if they keep editing illustrated books of all her books, I may well end up needing a new library in my house!
