Who Is The Illustrator For The UK Edition Of The Harry Potter Series?

Thomas Taylor provided the cover art for the first Harry Potter Book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. He was replaced by Cliff Wright, who provided the cover art for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Taylor was replaced as Bloomsbury felt that they wanted a more experienced illustrator due to the popularity of the first book.

Wright was replaced by Giles Greenfield for the cover art for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The reason for the change was that Wright refused to provide the art for the fourth books as a result of Bloomsbury misplacing his original illustrations for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Greenfield was replaced by Jason Cockroft, who provided the cover art for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

It is not yet known who will provide the cover for the seventh and final Harry Potter book, which is rumoured to be released in 2007.
