Harry Potter fans of all ages can look forward to a magical 2018.
Scholastic has announced that they’ll be publishing new editions of the Harry Potter series in celebration of the 20th-anniversary release of Harry Potter and The Sorcerors Stone in the U.S.
The new paperback editions of J.K. Rowling‘s bestselling Harry Potter series to be published in July 2018. A collectible boxed set designed by Selznick also will be available in September.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the U.S. publication of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Scholastic is planning major events throughout the year including celebrations at bookstores, libraries, schools, and festivals around the country.
The Wizarding World will have one of its busiest years ever in the U.S. with the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child coming to Broadway in April; the British Library’s exhibition Harry Potter: A History of Magic opening at the New-York Historical Society in October; and the 2nd Fantastic Beasts movie, The Crimes of Grindelwald, opening in theaters in November.
In addition to the newly designed paperback editions, Scholastic will publish books in conjunction with the exhibition and film. The seven Harry Potter books have sold more than 160 million copies in the U.S. alone and over 450 million copies worldwide. The books are published in over 200 territories in 80 languages.
