Harry Potter and the Forbidden Forest

I’ll admit that I finished the last Harry Potter book in 3 days, but even I wasn’t prepared for the next installment in the series. JK Rowling seemed to take a pretty drastic turn in the direction of the book, according to the unpublished manuscript that I came across. Even the artwork for the novel shows that Harry will be exploring some uncharted territory, including spending more time with the Whomping Willow from the third novel. Hermione was always the most skilled of the wizards, but apparently she hasn’t mastered a spell keep her legs crossed while exiting Dumbledore’s limo. You’ll have to read it for yourself to find out if she and Harry ever find the magic wand to tame the Forbidden Forest.

Here is a first draft of the artwork for the cover:
