wright retains the rights to the illustrations. he refused to illustrate the fourth harry potter book after bloomsbury lost his original front and back cover artwork for "harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban". the huge black market of the harry potter fandom has been rumoured to be the cause of the disappearance. he also sued bloomsbury for offering insufficient compensation.
