Harry Potter Gets a New Cover

Much like Anne of Green Gables, Harry Potter is getting a new look. However, this one will not be as disappointing. At least in my opinion. It's funny the things you stumble upon when looking at completely random posts on Buzzfeed.

I love the new cover because it keeps with the same feel as the previous ones illustrated by Mary GrandPre. The new covers will be designed by artist Kazu Kibuishi in honor of the series' 15th year (wow, it's been that long already?).

 

That's Mary GrandPre's original and wonderful cover version on the left. And Kazu Kibuishi's new version on the right. I love the new cover. I really do. I love the old covers, but you really get a new look in to the stories with Kazu's. It's absolutely stunning. I think these new covers will definitely do the story justice.

What do you think?

 

Oh... by the way....

 

Happy Valentine's Day!!

 

Covers Around the World: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

In honor of my Follow Friday post and my IMM post this past Sunday, I decided this weeks CAtW should be:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Yay! Have I mentioned how much I love Harry Potter?

Cuz I do.

Ok, here we go.

I want to say that ^ is the UK edition. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is another UK edition of the cover. Gorgeous.

German Cover. I like how they added the Chamber of Secrets in this one too.

Italian cover. I like how Harry sticks out on this one, but if you look around the rest of the cover you find different pictures that make up the story as well.

Spanish Cover. Love how the prophecies were included in this one. And how it shows him looking over his shoulder and running.

French Cover. I think it's cool how it's hand drawn and includes Harry, Ron, & Hermione all. Not just Harry.

This is the Flemish cover. I think it's bright and vibrant and I love how it has the Thestrals on it!

I think my favorite is the on the copy that I have. But that's just because that's the one that I've been staring at since I got it (er, now it's since i found it hiding in my shed and since I bought it on tape!). I think Mary GrandPre is a fabulous artist and you should check her out and the rest of her artwork for the series! It's fun to look at!
