Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Released in July 2019 by the People’s Literature Publishing House, this edition (in simplified Chinese) is illustrated by Li Min, an illustrator with a strong but modern Chinese style. In this vibrant cover, we see Harry wearing the Sorting Hat, as Dumbledore looks on amidst floating candles – meanwhile the Gryffindor lion roars out from the banner that swirls around the design. This scene and the characters are immediately recognizable using the colours and lines for which Li Min is well known. She also illustrates the covers for the other 19 volumes that comprise the series in Simplified Chinese.
