Yesterday, I shared a few pages from the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I thought that was wonderful, but then I logged on to Facebook this morning and discovered all seven Harry Potter books are now available directly from iTunes (iBooks). (You've previously had to purchase the ebooks through Pottermore.) AND! It gets even better! They are enhanced editions, with the original text, gorgeous animations and illustrations and even interactions (similar to the old Pottermore). So yeah... I now know I will be buying yet another set of these books because like a Star Wars fan who buys every single iteration of the original trilogy, I MUST have these!
First, check out this AMAZING trailer!

Third, treat yourself to these books. I am certain you need them.
It is no secret that I'm a wonderfully nerdy Potterhead. If it's Rowling Approved, I want it. I've been eagerly awaiting the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for months and have already ordered it for my son (yeah, right - we all know who it's really for). If you haven't seen the teaser pictures that have been released over the last several weeks, I've compiled them into a happy little slideshow for your viewing pleasure.
Of course this is just a taste of what's in the book. With over 100 new illustrations by Jim Kay, the artist hand picked by Jo herself, this book will be a Harry Potter lover's dream.
I'm SO excited to introduce my son to this series with such an exciting and beautiful edition!
