"If you are looking for an alternative children’s edition, Jim Kay has so far illustrated the first five titles in the series. These are relatively large books with plenty of colour illustrations, available both in hardcover and paperback. These editions are perfect for the youngest generation of readers, who are just old enough to enjoy the story but still have a preference for picture books. In 2001, J.K. Rowling wrote two companion volumes which appear as the titles of Harry’s school books within the novels: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages . Royalties from sales of these books are split between Comic Relief and Lumos , an international charity founded by J.K. Rowling in 2005 to promote family-based care alternatives to the institutionalisation of children. You can buy these books individually or in a set with a third companion volume, The Tales of Beedle the Bard , which was first published in 2008 in aid of Lumos. These three slim volumes are illustrated with black line drawings by Tomislav Tomic and cover art by Jonny Duddle. They are available as hardcover or paperback books individually or as a Hogwarts Library box set."
