The last is interesting, indeed! I guess we can assume Harry did well on his potions OWL, then?

I love the last one. How unfair is it that I will be getting the American version?! ::pout:: I just may have to cancel my pre-order and get it next fall when I am back in the UK. Thanks for alerting me.

I was looking all morning for a good picture of the covers and low-and-behold. I'm in absolute awe. Especially over the Brit Adult cover. Wheehoo! More Snape. ^_^

Oh hello btw. I'm silver_osiris, crazied HP fangirl who applauds you for getting these covers.

Wait, can I change my Amamzon order to the British version then? I'd like some grown-up with my underage porn obsession please.

Oh! Thanks for posting these.
*Agrees with everyone that American version looks like poo*
I have been spending so much time hoping against hope they wouldn’t make the writing purple (saw hints around the place). God Damn Purple!
I have a personal issue with purple as my sister is obsessed with it and has COVERED her house in it. After that much purple you'd have an issue too. *twitch twitch*

I love the adult British version, YAY for snarky Snape-ness!

Why is there a Brit Child and Brit Adult version of Harry Potter??

Is the Child one more family-friendly??

Ooooh baby!

I am really distressed by the sudden focus on potions! What if it is Snape? I'll be so upset..

Nah -- it just has a different cover, so adults won't be embarrassed to be seen reading a children's book. It's funny how adults in the US don't seem bothered by that!

For some of the books they do have an 'adult' addition in the US. Mostly its a slightly smaller, more 'normal' sized paperback with a different/no picture. I don't know if they have it for all the books or just the first few.

hey, thanks for the pictures. July 16th!! What is with that weird green color anyway? I like green, but that's kinda ...weird. ::n.n:: I was thinking of joining lj, but I dunno how, perhaps one day you may bestow your knowledge unto me? ^_^ talk to you soon!

I seriously squealed when I found out the cover art had been released for the 6th book. Thank you for posting better pictures of them! Yay!

Now if only I could figure out which site it would be better to order from and how I'd get the book sent to Japan... I don't want to wait until I get back to the states to read the darn book, even if I do return less than 2 weeks after the release!

I really really hate the fact that as an american I'll be stuck with the green version, I would love the adult or child brit version. They are beautiful. Of course, there will probably be a huge uprising anyway when it comes out. The local zealots will be screaming satanisim again.

That could be why they went with the blander cover for America.

I just found this link with the different hp covers. http://www.bundlings.com/harrypotter.htm

Ok. Maybe I'm weird. I like the US version the best. This must mean that (1) I'm still pretty much a child at heart (2) green isn't a particular squirk for me and (3) as compared to the Brit Children's version, I prefer mysterious and magical looking to comic book flash.

I did think that it was an interesting comment that we US adults didn't seem to have the same problem with carrying around a children's version cover as Brit adults do. It may be that the toned down color of the art has something to do with that.

[info]melody2tds

If you're weird, then I am too. I agree with you on the Brit version, it's too comic book, and the art is just UGLY. The American version is far less busy, and I really just like her version of Harry and Dumbledore more.

I think people just have an aversion to green and purple. lol

Though, I STILL like the Brit Adult version the most of all. But I like simple, and I'm a total bibliophile, so to me, he photograph of that GORGEOUS well-worn book is perfect.

I like the US version best too. ;x
