While the cover gets a magical refresh, the story itself remains unchanged: the original text of the book will stay intact, down to the last letter.

The only other timely tweak will be for US readers: Scholastic will update the title of its TV tie-in edition from the Sorcerer’s Stone to the Philosopher’s Stone, reflecting the name of the new Harry Potter television series.

The TV tie-in will be published globally in English language on 3rd November 2026, with other markets to follow, ahead of Christmas when the TV series will launch on HBO Max.
