Apple Is Launching a Magical, Enhanced Version of the Harry Potter Books

Individual books can be downloaded featuring the full original text, interactive animations and elaborate artwork.

Sky Movies’ Director Ian Lewis said in a press release: “We are thrilled to be able to bring the wizarding world of Harry Potter to our customers, all in one place so they can enjoy the magic of this timeless story whenever and wherever it suits them”. In addition to that, Apple has worked with J.K. Rowling’s team to produce enhanced editions – you can expect new animated illustrations and exclusive author notes, custom typefaces and drop caps.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said: “Harry Potter fans are going to love how their favorite stories come to life”. This is the first time books by J.K Rowling have been made available in digital editions through any outlet but her own.

Each book will be sold for €9.99 and is available for iPad and iPhone in 52 countries starting today.

Everyone who followed the adventures of Harry, Hermione, Ron and the rest will want a copy of this book, which will be available in stores tomorrow, October 6. French, German and Spanish versions will be available from November 9.

Harry Potter fans can explore other magical content including Harry Potter movies, soundtrack albums and apps on the custom Harry Potter page on iBooks at www.iTunes.com/HarryPotter.

Previously digital versions of the books were available only via the Pottermore Shop – Rowling’s digital entertainment, news and e-commerce company. Launched in 2012, it is also the global publisher of the Harry Potter eBooks and digital audio books.

Apple revolutionized personal technology with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984.
