In August, *Hagrid* and *Dobby* will be joining the growing collection of charmingly illustrated guides that are packed with magical details. With exciting story moments, quotes and plenty of fun facts to uncover, they are the perfect way to introduce the young Harry Potter fan in your life to the stories.

![pocket-potters-seven-book-covers-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/7jieyhVq4dFu4DThIa4EzN/de0ce4ab5694291b8a0630c44c40e245/pocket-potters-seven-book-covers-web-landscape.png)

Packed with Easter eggs and hidden details, lifelong fans who want to revisit the wizarding world, embrace nostalgia and remember where the magic began will love them too!

Each book comes with its own illustrator – channelling their unique artistic flair to bring the wizarding world to life. Speaking of which, let’s take an exclusive look at what you can expect from the upcoming guides…

## Hagrid
![pocket-potters-rubeus-hagrid-spread-one-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/4ANoPUL28X6dgzYns3gDkD/eb5c396ab8695a04c5c4f3d14b38ec6e/pocket-potters-rubeus-hagrid-spread-one-web-landscape.png)

Firstly, illustrated by Olia Muza, we have *Hagrid*. A huge Harry Potter fan, who believes she would do well in either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, she has always enjoyed escaping to Hogwarts: ‘I love Harry Potter for the childhood it gave me. It brought colour and brightness into my world.’ You may recognise Olia's anarchic and fun style, she is the illustrator of the *Ron Weasley* Pocket Potter!

![pocket-potters-hagrid-spread-three-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/2GDZU7dpskpKOZBimzhLlY/83ead56c0be47b9c445940b9ffc4461e/pocket-potters-hagrid-spread-three-web-landscape.png)

From the contents of Hagrid’s pockets to his beloved Fang, that sense of joy is clear to see in her wonderful work. Olia has captured the personality of everyone’s favourite half-giant perfectly.

![pocket-potters-hagrid-spread-two-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/2AN6h2zIqIx2YmGyQ4wXJS/ff1f605cb1fa342232f1738b43830850/pocket-potters-hagrid-spread-two-web-landscape.png)

*Dobby* is illustrated by Helen Brady, who has also illustrated the upcoming *Luna Lovegood* Pocket Potter. Having been a fan of the books since she was a teenager, she truly understands the powerful pull of the Harry Potter stories: ‘I’d meet my postman on the drive when each new book came out and then I wouldn’t be able to put it down, day or night, until I’d got to the end!’

![pocket-potters-dobby-spread-two-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/5OXznufL8H0P6uETiz6yAS/21516e870133cd6f667b19ee8cc887a9/pocket-potters-dobby-spread-two-web-landscape.png)

With socks, bobble hats and Petunia’s infamous pudding, Helen’s love of the wizarding world is clear to see in every detail of *Dobby*.

Whether it was Luna Lovegood’s whimsical party dress that was designed to resemble a Christmas tree or how the colours of Lord Voldemort’s malevolent robes were hints about the seven Horcruxes, costumes played a vital role in telling the Harry Potter stories on screen. 

Now fans can discover the magic of costume creation at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter this March and April.

![WBSTL-mastering-the-magic-luna-lovegood-dress-web-landscape](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/4XH5xv95IcfkLm8zgxSC9L/fdf17a16d4dd94558de0655e35fc2407/WBSTL-mastering-the-magic-luna-lovegood-dress-web-landscape.png)

Exploring some of the wizarding world’s most iconic costumes, you will be able to witness the evolving styles of Hogwarts uniforms, gaze upon Cedric Diggory’s Triwizard robes and marvel at Hagrid’s oversized attire.

With 2026 marking the 25th anniversary of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone*, the workshop will also be taking fans back to where the magic began, showcasing the costume that Harry Potter was wearing the very first time we met him.

As Producers Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions revealed, the magic is set to continue on stage with the record-breaking show telling the entire eighth story in a single performance with one interval and a run time of 2 hours and 55 minutes. 

As *Cursed Child* enters its second decade in the West End, this evolution marks an exciting new chapter. One which is more accessible to Harry Potter fans, allowing even more audiences to take in the wonder of the wizarding world with just one ticket and one trip to the theatre.

With companies around the globe already having moved to this dynamic format, such as the Broadway production in New York City, which is breaking all major box-office records, we’re excited to see how this new adventure is set to unfold.  

![HERO-cursed-child-london](//contentful.harrypotter.com/usf1vwtuqyxm/52ZxkLeJS7O7KPWCYAS6q6/0206d05f7c28debd04e679cc3f3098b8/cursed_child_hero.png)

Producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender have shared their excitement at the new step in this incredible journey: 

__*"When Harry Potter and the Cursed Child premiered in the West End in 2016, it redefined what was possible in the art of stagecraft. This July, the production celebrates its 10th anniversary, an unprecedented milestone for a play performed in two parts and we are immensely proud of the indelible mark it has made on the theatrical and cultural landscape over the past decade…*__ 

__*But as new Harry Potter fans discover these stories every day, drawn in by their enduring power and the deep affection for these characters, we felt this milestone moment was the right time to make the production more accessible than ever before. Now running at under three hours, the reimagined production retains its scale, illusions and theatrical magic, and emotional depth, while allowing more audiences to experience the story in a single visit. By shifting our beloved original staging into this stunning version, beautifully reworked by the same extraordinary creative and technical teams, we are opening our Palace doors for even more audiences to experience this unforgettable journey with just one ticket in hand."*__

For those of you who wish to catch the two-part production in London and celebrate all that has been achieved in *Cursed Child’s* first incredible decade, booking has been extended until 20th September 2026. The one-part production will reopen at the Palace Theatre on 6th October 2026.

The final block of tickets for the current two-part production are now on sale at [harrypottertheplay.com](https://www.harrypotter.com/linkout?destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.harrypottertheplay.com%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwwd_web%26utm_medium%3Dnewsarticle%26utm_campaign%3DTCC%26utm_content%3Dcursed-child-west-end-announces-reimagined-production), where fans can also register to be the first to know when tickets for the reimagined production are released later this year.

With tomorrow’s release of *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*, the second audiobook in the groundbreaking series from Pottermore and Audible, the timing of this announcement couldn’t be more perfect.

Not only will Dame Shirley Bassey be voicing the character of Molly Weasley’s favourite magical singer, but she has also recorded three original songs for *Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions*… and we have an exclusive snippet of musical magic to share with you.

Composed by Ashley Griffin, this snippet of ‘You Stole My Cauldron But You Can’t Have My Heart’ featured in *Chamber of Secrets* has us thoroughly charmed.  

That’s not the only delightful tune that you can expect to see as the series progresses. There are also two brand-new songs that you can hear in *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*.

We’re sure you superfans out there will recognise these song titles that hold a special place in Molly Weasley’s heart – ‘A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love’, composed by Ashley Griffin and ‘You Charmed The Heart Right Out of Me’, composed by Kezia Tomsett.

Featuring music from a 17-piece big band recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London, and with Dame Shirley’s spectacular singing captured at Miraval Studios in France, this truly is Harry Potter like you have never heard it before.

Reflecting on what it means to be part of this fantastic project, Dame Shirley said:

*‘I’m honoured to have been an inspiration for the original character of Celestina Warbeck in the Harry Potter series. Bringing her music to life in this ambitious project from Pottermore Publishing and Audible was a joy, and I hope these songs throughout the audiobooks offer a truly magical listening experience for fans worldwide.’*
