The Harry Potter movies had to make a world readers already knew feel convincing on screen. Hogwarts was central to that challenge, but so were the shops lining Diagon Alley and the creatures Harry encountered beyond the classroom. The artists behind those designs helped establish a visual identity that remained recognizable as the movies grew darker.

That work continued with Fantastic Beasts, which introduced different settings and placed greater emphasis on the wizarding world’s creatures. Looking at the artwork behind both series offers a chance to appreciate details that are easy to miss in the finished movies. For fans interested in how those designs developed, an upcoming release will bring more of that work together.

The Art of Harry Potter (Revised and Expanded) is scheduled for a January 5, 2027, release in the UK, according to publisher Titan Books. Written by Marc Sumerak, the updated hardcover adds 32 pages of new content and artwork from the Fantastic Beasts movies. Titan lists the edition at 394 pages, with a UK price of £54.99. The collection includes production paintings, concept sketches, storyboards, and blueprints, covering the visual development of the movies’ world.

What Is New in ‘The Art of Harry Potter’ Expanded Edition?

The original The Art of Harry Potter was published in 2017, collecting artwork from Harry’s first trip to Hogwarts through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2. The revised edition broadens that collection to incorporate the prequel movies. Plus, for anyone who may have missed the earlier release, this offers another opportunity to pick up the book with additional material included. The Fantastic Beasts additions are the main reason existing owners might consider returning. Those movies gave the franchise’s artists a different assignment, moving beyond Harry’s school years and putting magical creatures at the center of the story. Titan confirms that the added pages will highlight artwork created for those movies, although its listing does not provide a detailed breakdown of the new selections.

There is one regional detail to keep in mind before planning a purchase. January 5 is the UK publication date, and Titan’s listing provides purchasing links for the UK and other international markets. As of now, a U.S. and Canadian publisher and release date had not yet been identified, so readers in those regions should check for updates on when and where the book will be available for them in the future. Stay tuned with Collider for updates.
