Kay is the illustrator behind each of the five books currently available, whilst multi-award-winning artist Pinfold has taken on the role for the sixth title.

For those of you unfamiliar with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Ministry of Magic is in turmoil, and Hogwarts is no longer deemed safe.

Harry stumbles across an old textbook belonging to the 'half-blood prince', which contains mysterious notes that give him an advantage in his studies, but also raises questions about its former owner.

'Harry needs to find out who he can trust, and who he should fear. The time is coming when he must face his destiny alone,' the synopsis reads.

So, where can you pre-order the book, and how much does it cost? Find out everything you need to know below.
