Jim had already set the bar extraordinarily high in terms of the quality and the number of illustrations he had made for the previous books, so he was keen to get someone else involved to share the workload, simply in order to get the book finished within a reasonable amount of time. It was probably obvious to both Jim and the publishers from a very early stage that there was an insane amount of work to do for this book because of the size of it. We’ve known each other for a while and we were fans of each other’s work long before we met. We spoke with Neil and discussed his feelings, his creative process, his inspiration and much more for this book.Ĭould you explain how you came to work with Jim Kay? Was it the publisher or the illustrator who approached you with the proposal? If until then Jim Kay had worked alone on the illustration of the previous volumes, for his last illustrated edition of the saga, he collaborated with Neil Packer in order to finish Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. They kindly provided us with the original version in English to include it in the magazine. Interview conducted and published by the French fansite UniversHarryPotter.
