Philosopher’s Stone special editions on the way

Bloomsbury to publish four new versions to celebrate 20th anniversary of Harry Potter title.

Four new versions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone are due to launch this summer as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations for the book.

Bloomsbury will publish the new editions in June, according to The Bookseller.

Each will be aligned to one of the four Hogwarts houses – Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

The hardbacks will be black and have the house crest (in a house colour) and striped sprayed edges. The paperbacks will reverse the house colour theme and have single colour sprayed edges.

Both will contain facts about Hogwarts and three new illustrations from Levi Pinfold, who also designed the covers.

The seven Harry Potter novels have notched up sales of 450 million copies worldwide, according to Bloomsbury.
