Bloomsbury will auction 26 original postcards of Patronus animals, with proceeds going to the UK’s largest reading charity, BookTrust. A number of famous artist and illustrators — including ‘Potter’ designers Jim Kay, Chris Riddell, Emily Gravett, Levi Pinfold and MinaLima – have contributed to the project.
The auction, which coincides with the 20th anniversary of the UK publication of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, will run for 10 days. For UK fans, the postcards will be on display at Waterstones Piccadilly over the next week.
Harry Potter Fan Zone (HPFZ) has been a thriving part of the online Harry Potter fandom since
2003. Beginning as a golden-era fan site, it lives on today as an ever-growing independent archive,
preserving and cataloging book covers, chapter art, movie posters, collector guides and more.
For more than twenty years it has remained a one-man labour of love. If you’ve enjoyed exploring
the archive and would like to support the project, you can buy me a Butterbeer.
