Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Magic Behind the Art: An Interview with the Illustrator of the 2025 German Editions!
Q: How did you approach making the art feel official but still accessible to both kids and adults?
By drawing inspiration from Batman: The Animated Series, using a medieval/Byzantine vibe, larger architectural spaces, and zoomed-out compositions that leave room for readers' imaginations.
The Magic Behind the Art: An Interview with the Illustrator of the 2025 German Editions!
Q: Did JK Rowling's team still have to approve the German edition?
Yes, Rowling's team and Blair Project provided notes and approvals, making the process more demanding and detail-oriented than some other editions.
The Magic Behind the Art: An Interview with the Illustrator of the 2025 German Editions!
Q: What's the process from being contacted to delivering the first test cover?
The agent sets up the gig, Carlsen asks for a test cover, the artist creates initial sketches, receives nitpicky notes, and then moves to final art after approvals and adjustments.
Harry Potter Video Games
Q: Have you played all 19 Harry Potter games?
Yes, I have played 18 of them, but I haven't played the new Quidditch game yet.
Yiddish Chamber of Secrets: The Translator is Back to Chat!
Q: Do you use any sort of tools or references like a Yiddish dictionary or thesaurus in your translation?
Yes, Arun uses a variety of tools, including dictionaries and thesauruses, but tries not to lean too heavily on them to preserve naturalness in the translation.
