Bloomsbury revealed the new UK covers of J.K. Rowling's
The Tales of Beedle the Bard and
Quidditch Through the Ages, featuring new art by Jonny Duddle, and set for release on January 12, 2017.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard's cover features
The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, while
Quidditch Through the Ages highlights Seeker Roderick Plumpton, who caught the Snitch in three and a half seconds in 1921. Those can be found here.
For those wondering - the third book in the Hogwarts Library,
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, will release next March separately and as a newly designed version, which will include a new forward from
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
