In 2013, Scholastic commissioned Kazu Kibuishi to create new cover artwork for 15th anniversary editions of all of the titles. I would love to pass on the love of books to another generation,” he says. “It took me a long time to discover the joy of reading, and to realise it’s not a chore… I think JK Rowling did that with the Harry Potter books.” The Thread of Life: Twelve Old Italian Tales, retold by Domenico Vittorini (Crown, 1995), OCLC 28709363; Running Press Kids; New Ed edition, 2003
Things have changed now. “I’ve got my own things going on,” he says. His series of children’s books, Malamander, which funnily enough he didn’t do the cover art for, has been so successful that he’s often invited to schools to give readings. Harry Potter doesn’t even come up. When it does, “it feels like it’s an interesting part of my past. It’s a nice line on my CV. Having had an awkward earlier phase with Harry Potter, I’m pleased to have been able to bring it into a more positive context where I can just enjoy it.” In a June 2007 St. Paul Pioneer Press article, GrandPré revealed that six months prior, she and her husband went to China, where they adopted a little girl.

It had seemed like a good warm-up job for an aspiring young illustrator: create some artwork for a new children’s book about a schoolboy wizard. Twenty-five years on, and Taylor’s cover has become one of the most recognisable images in world literature. There was no written brief, and no correspondence with the book’s author, JK Rowling – just a conversation with Cunningham, who had taken a chance on Harry Potter after 12 other publishers turned it down. His instructions were simple: he wanted the cover to show Harry boarding the Hogwarts Express. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Illustrated Edition features Harry with Hedwig preparing to board the Hogwarts Express, another owl flying overhead.
