Presenting the new cover of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

As announced in January, Scholastic will publish fully illustrated editions of each of the seven books in J.K. Rowling's bestselling Harry Potter series—one per yearbeginning in October 2015. These deluxe hardcover editions are going to be gorgeous thanks to the work of award-winning illustrator Jim Kay. 

We've already released four exclusive new illustrations from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, but today we're thrilled to reveal the book's new cover image, also by Jim Kay. (Bloomsbury UK revealed the image simultaneously.) 

The cover is available for download here. What do you think of it? We can't wait to read the fully illustrated edition this fall!
