In particular, The Wizarding Tale also revives memorable moments and events in the boy wizard's journey, from when the Hogwarts admission letter was sent to the Dursleys' house.

Impressive quotes, bizarre events, emotional victories, friends fighting side by side… A sky full of childhood memories suddenly flooded back.

The book is likened to "the necessary room", if you want to know something about the wizarding world, just open the book and you will find it.

Vivid illustrations

The magical book comes to life in vivid detail through the drawings of 7 artists from around the world. Each artist's unique style contributes to portraying the diverse and colorful atmosphere of the magical world: ancient and brilliant, mysterious and cozy, weird and funny.

Among the 7 artists is a representative from Vietnam - Pham Quang Phuc - who is in charge of drawing the cover.

This book also marks the first time a Vietnamese artist has participated in a book project on a global scale, and is also the first time a Vietnamese book has been published by a Vietnamese publisher in collaboration with a partner in 34 languages worldwide at the same time.

Pham Quang Phuc is an artist who won first prize in the fiction book category of the 2018 ASEAN Children's Book Illustration Competition.

With this project, Phuc said the creative process encountered many difficulties, especially when bringing many details of the book into the painting.

"I am very happy to once again live in the magical world like when I was a child, to join the artists I admire and to draw the cover is a great honor and pressure. I have tried my best, hoping that readers will feel the same joy and excitement as me," Quang Phuc said.

This event also demonstrated the integration capacity of the Vietnamese book industry. The coordination process brought many challenges, but also an opportunity for the Vietnamese version to approach international standards.

"The quality of the book, from the paper to the spine, from the precision in every small detail of the presentation, is a testament to the efforts of Tre Publishing House," said a representative of the unit.
