Krenz,[1] also known as Krenz Cushart,[2] is an art instructor and freelance illustrator, who served as the cover art colourist for the traditional Chinese 20th anniversary edition published in Taiwan, which also additionally distributed to Hong Kong. He[3] also worked on the entire illustration used for the book spines of the seven books.[4]
Krenz was directly approached by the publisher for the gig,[4] and later invited Loiza to join this project,[5] who produced the line art for Krenz to colour. Both Loiza's line art work and their coloured joint work were printed as postcards, included only in the first print of the 20th anniversary traditional Chinese edition.[6]

Behind the scenes[]
- When the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone of the 20th anniversary traditional Chinese edition was just about to go to print, the publisher became aware of an educational Facebook post from the Raptor Research Group of Taiwan[4] about how owls usually grab things between two front talons and two back talons, instead of three fronts and one back,[7] indicating that the to-be-published art had contained an error. Both illustrators were notified and speedily made corrections.[4]
