    so very sick of people moaning in the comments about not enough illustrations/ blah blah blah, i thought it was beautiful/ so much hard work went into it and instead of being so ungrateful about there being not quite enough wouldn't it be better to praise the wonderful illustrations he has made/ if you really feel that strongly make your own illustrations for how you see the characters/ places

    I hope they put out a box set of the first three illustrated editions. I love how Jim Kay doesn't think of the movies when illustrating, but rather his own interpretation while reading the book.

      I think that's a cool thing to do. Since in the first one Harry was a kid (11) he'd viewing Snape in a more terryfing light than he really is. So as Harry grows and they know each other ...I mean, that's my way of reading this changes😊

    The level of detail in each illustration captures every element in my imagination, then triples it.
    The images of Snape are perfection!
    I strongly feel, however, Trelawney does not wear a turban and she must have long, flowing hair to match her long, flowy shawls & bangles - her blunt bob murders me.

    After seeing a bunch of comments that are disappointed about the lack of illustration in the third illustrated books, all I can say is: Please Bloomsbury, don't rush the next book! Let Jim take his time working on the illustration. You don't have to force yourself to publish one book each year. There are a lot of version of HP books already, but I belive this is the first one with pages that full of colorful illustration, so I want this to be the best HP illustration there could be. I know how hard it is to work on an illustration, so I want Jim to come up with the best illustration he could for this books! So take your time, Jim. Hope you could finish all the 7 books with a good quality illustration on each pages~♡
    p.s: Oh if the books end up too thick, maybe you could split the edition to part 1 and 2, just like the movies, cause be honest, we all already know the story by heart, and all we want is the colorfull illustration that could satisfy our imagination about the story.

    The thing with the mole, lily, and slug are ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, but I'm disappointed with Snape's face. JRK states he is not a hero, and here he looks too nice. He should've been frowning or something. His face looks too calm and amiable.

      @umm--__-- 6 років тому +27

      Antonio Perez I think it’s because this book is longer so they had to cut back on the illustrations, but if that’s the case then I don’t know what they are going to do for rest of the series (especially Order of the Phoenix lol).

    • @DackxJaniels
      @DackxJaniels 6 років тому +8

      My guess is that they'll split it up in two volumes, released either in a bundle in october, or one part in october and one part in the holiday period or something. Or make the pages waaay thinner.

    2:04 It is nowhere stated in the Harry Potter books that Snape was once a member of the Slug Club during his time at Hogwarts. I don't consider him to be the type for it. Would he even want to be in it / spend time on something like that? Highly questionable if you ask me.

    • @aidenpierce2
      @aidenpierce2 6 років тому +5

      Are you kidding? he is the half blood prince, his expertise in potions must be noticed by Slughorn in the sea of mediocre potion makers, most probably he is better than Lily (she is more like Hermione).

    • @MdB92
      @MdB92 6 років тому

      No, I'm not kidding. I'm only saying it is nowhere stated officially whether he was once part of the Slug Club. It's absolutely no attempt to deny Snape's natural (extraordinary) talent for potionmaking, that's beyond question. My point is I do not see him wanting to be in it / spend time on a club (even if Slughorn asked him and given the prestige it would give), i.e. he would definitely be 'qualified' for membership but would he want to join? I doubt that (that's what I meant with 'I don't consider him to be the type for it').

    • @aidenpierce2
      @aidenpierce2 6 років тому +4

      Yeah, I know it is not in the books, but Jim discusses many things with Rowling about his illustrations so she may have said that Snape is a member of Slug Club. Also he was invited to Slughorn's party in HBP book. but It's true that he thinks party and recognition by slug is beneath him, but may be he might have participated in the club for some gain other than recognition and praise from Slughorn.

    • @MdB92
      @MdB92 6 років тому +2

      That's indeed totally possible. But to present it as very important to him (as a character) (i.e. 'Snape was a proud member of the Slug Club') is a little bit too much, if you ask me. I don't think it was such a great deal to him; if one wants to portrait the character, a slug should not be the first thing that comes to mind. Love the mole and the lily though, perfect visualizations of the character.
