Thomas Taylor, a British illustrator, created the cover design for Rowling's first book.

On the front cover there is a red steam engine bearing a green sign with yellow letters saying that it is the Hogwarts Express. Stars swirl in the black steam. A streamlined modern train sits in the background. Harry stands to the right of the Hogwarts Express beneath an antique sign that says it is platform 9¾.
Harry touches his right hand to his chin. His scar zigzags down his brow. His shirt, jacket and backpack resemble normal school clothes.

On the back cover Dumbledore is a thin, bearded and mustachioed wizard in striped pants and a purple robe. He has just clicked a Put-Outer.

The Scholastic editions were illustrated by Mary Grandpré, and the cover as well.
