Bloomsbury has released a statement about the Harry Potter books today, following the announcement that J.K. Rowling will be releasing an adult novel this coming year. They, say:

“We are pleased to announce that as part of our long term strategy for Harry Potter we intend to publish illustrated editions of all seven Harry Potter books in a rolling program from 2013 onwards in addition to our partnership on e-books with the Pottermore website,” the publisher said in a statement.

UPDATE: Previously this post stated that Scholastic would be publishing illustrated versions, it was actually Bloomsbury (I read the press release too quickly)
