This is it! The wait is over! If you live in one of the lucky countries, you will be able today to get your copy of the Illustrated Edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s / Sorcerer’s Stone. J.K. Rowling and the press are talking about this, because, although it may look otherwise, it is huge!
J.K. Rowling herself tweeted about it:
Today everyone will be able to see Harry Potter through Jim Kay's extraordinary eyes! The man's a genius. #harrypotterillustrated

The Guardian published a gallery including artworks and photos of Jim Kay, and Metro published an article about the release of this edition.
The BBC uploaded a new video with Jim Kay, the illustrator, and Pottermore interviewed him about the whole process.
