J.K. Rowling is the author of the enduringly popular Harry Potter books. After the idea for Harry Potter came to her on a delayed train journey in 1990, she plotted out and started writing the series of seven books and the first was published as Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in the UK in 1997. The series took another ten years to complete, concluding in 2007 with the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
To accompany the series, J.K. Rowling wrote three short companion volumes for charity, Quidditch Through the Agesand Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of Lumos. She also collaborated on the writing of a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which was published as a script book.
Her other books for children include the fairy tale The Ickabog and The Christmas Pig, which were published in 2020 and 2021 respectively and have also been bestsellers. She is also the author of books for adults, including a bestselling crime fiction series.
J.K. Rowling has received many awards and honors for her writing. She also supports a number of causes through her charitable trust Volant and is the founder of the children’s charity Lumos.

About the authors
J.K. Rowling is the author of the enduringly popular, era-defining Harry Potter book series, as well as several stand-alone novels for adults and children, and a bestselling crime fiction series written under the pen name Robert Galbraith.
The Harry Potter books have now sold over 600 million copies worldwide, been translated into 85 languages and made into eight blockbuster films. They continue to be discovered and loved by new generations of readers.
Alongside the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling also wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of her international children’s charity, Lumos. The companion books and original series are all available as audiobooks.
In 2016, J.K. Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany to continue Harry’s story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which opened in London, and is now thrilling audiences on four continents. The script book was published to mark the plays opening in 2016 and instantly topped the bestseller lists.
In the same year, she made her debut as a screenwriter with the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Inspired by the original companion volume, it was the first in a series of new adventures featuring wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander. The second, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, was released in 2018 and the third, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore was released in 2022.
The screenplays were published to coincide with each film’s release: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - The Original Screenplay (2016), Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - The Original Screenplay (2018) and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore - The Complete Screenplay (2022).

J.K. Rowling’s fairy tale for younger children, The Ickabog, was serialised for free online for children during the Covid-19 pandemic in the summer of 2020 and is now published as a book illustrated by children, with her royalties going to her charitable trust, Volant, to benefit charities helping alleviate social deprivation and assist vulnerable groups, particularly women and children.
Her latest children’s novel The Christmas Pig, published in 2021, is a standalone adventure story about a boy’s love for his most treasured thing and how far he will go to find it.
J.K. Rowling also writes novels for adults. The Casual Vacancy was published in 2012 and adapted for television in 2015. Under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, she is the author of the highly acclaimed ‘Strike’ crime series, featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott. The first of these, The Cuckoo’s Calling, was published to critical acclaim in 2013, at first without its author’s true identity being known. The Silkworm followed in 2014, Career of Evil in 2015, Lethal White in 2018, Troubled Blood in 2020 and The Ink Black Heart in 2022. The series has also been adapted for television by the BBC and HBO.
J.K. Rowling’s 2008 Harvard Commencement speech was published in 2015 as an illustrated book, Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination, sold in aid of Lumos and university-wide financial aid at Harvard.
As well as receiving an OBE and Companion of Honour for services to children’s literature, J.K. Rowling has received many other awards and honours, including France’s Legion d’Honneur, Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award and Denmark’s Hans Christian Andersen Award.

This book has stunning illustrative spreads of Dobby, the Basilisk, Aragog, Diagon alley, Hogwarts castle, the sword of Gryffindor, and a two page spread of Harry at Quidditch. There are a few illustrative choices in this book that are very questionable though:
-This edition over-all, this illustrator, seems to have something of an obsession with Draco Malfoy. In this book with so much to visualize, they have chosen to include 2 full page spreads of Draco! Such a colossal waste of space, would have made so much more sense to include Tom Riddle instead of one of the two Draco spreads.
-Another very peculiar choice was in chapter 3 - Omitting to show the Weasley's burrow (there is one full page spread but it's in the shadows and you can barely discern what it is, so it almost doesn't count), or Ron's room, they have instead chosen to do multiple illustrations of garden gnomes throughout the chapter!
These two choices are so peculiar, I wonder how no one raised an issue and these made it to the final copy.
Two illustrations that I would have liked to have been included are
-A full page spread of all the four houses in the dueling club, their wands out in action.
-An illustration of the trio following the path of the Basilisk in the pipes.
These 2 visuals would have added a lot of value to the story.
One Jim Kay edition of whichever book you choose is a must have for a child beginning the Harry Potter series and for a collector.

Ce qui est incroyable avec ce livre, c'est la manière dont il approfondit l'univers déjà fascinant créé par l'auteur. On découvre de nouveaux lieux, de nouveaux personnages et des mystères encore plus captivants. L'intrigue est brillamment tissée, mêlant suspense, humour et émotion à chaque page.
Ce tome renforce les liens entre les personnages tout en offrant de nouvelles perspectives sur le monde magique de Poudlard. On assiste à la croissance de Harry, Ron et Hermione, et à leur courage face à des défis toujours plus grands. C'est un voyage palpitant qui captive dès la première page jusqu'à la dernière.
De plus, la plume de Rowling est magique en elle-même. Son style d'écriture fluide et captivant nous transporte instantanément dans cet univers fantastique. On se retrouve happé par l'histoire, vivant chaque aventure aux côtés de nos héros préférés.
En résumé, "Harry Potter et la Chambre des Secrets" est un livre qui charme et ensorcelle, offrant une aventure épique et immersive à tous ceux qui le lisent, quel que soit leur âge. C'est une invitation à s'évader dans un monde magique où l'imagination n'a pas de limites.
Sinceramente valgono molto di più del prezzo di vendita (e sono tutte prime edizioni, quindi nel tempo aumenteranno sicuramente di valore). Da notare che non solo ci sono illustrazioni praticamente in tutte le pagine, le pagine stesse e il carattere di stampa di conseguenza suggeriscono il "mood" del momento e l'ambientazione. Per esempio, la scena è di notte? Le pagine sono nere. Ma la vogliamo chiamare cura del dettaglio oppure no? I am in awe, e non lo dico alla leggera. Sono subito andata a vedere l'età di 'sto tizio, il disegnatore, giusto così, perché ne ha illustrati solo 5 e non vorrei avere un'opera monca. Sembra giovane, speriamo sia in salute. Così, tanto per dire, metto le mani avanti.
