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.
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
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!
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.
Dobby
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!’
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.
Hagrid and Dobby will be published by Bloomsbury in the UK and other territories on 13th August 2026 and are available for pre-order right here.
In the US, you will be able to add these gorgeous editions to your bookshelves on 18th August 2026 from Scholastic’s website.
These two brilliant books will be joining Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Professor Dumbledore and Luna Lovegood which are already available… and keep your eyes peeled! There are more exciting guides to be announced for 2027!
