Harry Potter Sketches to be Auctioned Next Weekend
Pen and pencil drawings by Cliff Wright will be on display and for sale at the Glasgow Art Fair. Cliff Wright illustrated the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban book. The pen and pencil drawings are the forerunners to the front and back cover art for the second book in the Harry Potter series. The front cover illustration shows Harry Potter and Hermione riding a hippogriff. The front cover is expected to go for £13,000. The other sketch on sale is of a snarling dog (i.e. Sirius Black in his dog form). This one is expected to go for £11,000. These two pieces are part of 10 that Wright did for the publisher Bloomsbury as rough ideas. The Glasgow Art Fair goes from April 23 through 26, 2009.
