Though GrandPré initially declined the assignment due to her schedule, he eventually convinced her to take it. GrandPré says, „By the time I was working on Book 3, we knew we were dealing with something very special.“ GrandPré illustrated all of the American editions of the Harry Potter novels. She was one of the few people who were able to read the Harry Potter books before they were released to the general public. When she received each new book, she read the story through once, highlighting descriptions that she felt would do well as an illustration. She then created various sketches as ideas for the cover and chapter art before sending her favorites to the editors to decide which should appear in the final publication. GrandPré devises her images after reading the manuscripts for the books, and does not collaborate with or receive input from J.K. Rowling, although the two have met. Her artwork for the final novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was created using pastels on toned printmaking paper, while the chapter headings were black-and-white charcoal drawings“ (Wikipedia). – Alle Bände in sehr gutem Zustand.
