Here's a list, with pictures, of MANY ( thirty-five) different covers of the HP books. How many different sets of book covers specific to Bloomsbury's versions of the Harry Potter books are there?
What is the significance of the numerous versions of cover art for the (UK) Harry Potter series?īasically, there's a huge market for HP, and any change in cover art might attract new consumers there may even be some fans who want 'the full collection' and buy a copy of every damn edition.
So, my question is: What is the significance of the numerous versions of cover art for the (UK) Harry Potter series? How many different sets of book covers specific to Bloomsbury's versions of the Harry Potter books are there? Is there any special significance behind any of the covers? There doesn't seem to be much variety of cover art amongst the US editions, as far as I know. Scholastic's outlier would be a special dust jacket produced for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - this dust jacket was available via special pre-order, came in a protective box, and has no words anywhere on the cover art: There are so many versions of wonderful cover art for the Harry Potter series, particularly for the UK versions (Bloomsbury publishing).Īfter the new illustrated Harry Potter book went on sale, I got to thinking about the need for multiple versions of a series's cover art, as here in the US, we've basically had Mary GrandPré's cover art for the Scholastic versions of Harry Potter. I have a few inter-related questions regarding the cover art for the British Harry Potter books.
