    Dive Into A Pensieve of Nostalgic Childhood Memories with Harry Potter Artwork by American Illustrator Mary GrandPré

    If you grew up anywhere in the American continent, you are familiar with the work of Mary GrandPré. She illustrated the covers for the first American Children's editions of all seven Harry Potter books as well as the small black and white illustrations for each chapter. Very few know that she did full mixed media illustrations of several scenes from the books. This may be your first time feasting your eyes on these these illustrations, but even so, there is something terribly warm, comforting, and nostalgic about each one of them. Much of her artwork predates the Harry Potter film franchise, which is known for its own very specific aesthetic. Her artwork brings a unique life to the wizarding world. Enjoy this magical collection of beautiful illustrations that depict the beloved story with vibrant colors, wonky perspectives, and the soft, fuzzy glow of pastels. Do you recognize the scenes from each piece?
