Someone’s put a spell on Harry Potter and his world, bestowing the boy wizard with a new look and style.
A batch of images featuring Potter’s new look have surfaced online today, which will be part of a new, fully-illustrated version Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that Scholastic and Bloomsbury will publish later this year.

The illustrations stay true to each character’s established look, but they certainly add a moodier tone to J.K. Rowling’s world of witchcraft and wizardry. The new looks did receive the author’s stamp of approval, however. According to Time, Rowling worked with the illustrator, Jim Kay, to bring the new interpretations to life.
You can check out some more of Kay’s character designs below, which will serve as the basis for the new edition’s visual style. The featured image included Harry Potter and Dracoย Malfoy.
