Scholastic and Bloomsbury, the publishing houses that put out the Harry Potter books in the United States and the United Kingdom, today released the first four images from the first fully illustrated version of the Harry Potter books.



Jim Kay, an award-winning British artist, is set to do the artwork for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which is due out in the U.S. and the U.K. on Oct. 6, 2015.

This new deluxe hardcover edition will feature 110 full-color illustrations, as well as separate cover images done by Kay for the American and British editions. A representative for Scholastic told BuzzFeed there is no release date for the cover images yet.
Kay will also do the art for the fully illustrated editions of the other six Harry Potter books, which Scholastic plans to release once a year for the next six years, with the release of an illustrated Book 7, Deathly Hallows, in 2021.

Why would you want them to do this? I prefer these illustrations. Everything else would be lazy and wouldn't deserve the "Deluxe" tag.

Or in other words:

Those look amazing, but Malfoy looks deformed I wish they made him look a bit more like tom Felton and not that tiny head
