One of the most beloved and successful book series of all time, the Harry Potter novels were published by Bloomsbury Publishing. Founded in 1986, Bloomsbury is a well-known independent publishing house based in London, England. The company first took a chance on a little-known author named J.K. Rowling and her debut novel, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," which was released in 1997.
It's hard to believe that at one point, Rowling was rejected by multiple publishers before Bloomsbury decided to take a chance on her magical world of wizards and witches. The success of the first book led to a series of seven novels, all of which were published by Bloomsbury and went on to become bestsellers around the world.
In addition to the novels, Bloomsbury also published various companion books related to the Harry Potter series, including "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Quidditch Through the Ages." The company also released special anniversary editions and illustrated versions of the books, keeping the magic of Harry Potter alive for new generations of readers.
