I'm not sure. Though my faves are Prisoner of Azkaban and Half-Blood Prince.<br /><br />Charlotte - They're ok, but I think the old-fashionedness of them puts me off. They don't look as magical, I think. I don't know. I'm not a fan of the font, either.<br /><br />Sophie - I think I have the same opinion. I loved the current children's covers. I don't know much about the adults, I can't remmeber what they look like, but I think I remember thinking the ones I've seen aren't too bad. But I don't think I'm a fan of these.<br /><br />Several Billion - I think I'm with you. I don't like the white background at all. I do prefer the current UK children's covers.<br /><br />Jenn - Same! My covers are cool ;) I'm not big on these. But.. if they get more kids reading them, and reading in general, it can only be a good thing!<br /><br />Chirstina - I also prefer the US covers to these ones, though I prefer the current UK kids covers to the US ones. I guess I'm picky :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-81038898837474283602010-03-30T14:48:56.730+01:002010-03-30T14:48:56.730+01:00I prefer the original covers and the U.S. covers t...I prefer the original covers and the U.S. covers to the old fashioned look of this set.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-83455245877354433072010-03-30T13:54:23.090+01:002010-03-30T13:54:23.090+01:00HMM I also like them though, I too am not so sure ...HMM I also like them though, I too am not so sure about the whole new cover things...I like my covers :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863724079356830367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-33280753855498223522010-03-30T12:26:49.507+01:002010-03-30T12:26:49.507+01:00Interesting!

It looks like it's aimed at older readers. <br />I prefer the UK children's version with the panels and Harry Potter in each illustrationNoellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735899814201019277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-19716335655104431802010-03-30T12:21:33.825+01:002010-03-30T12:21:33.825+01:00Ooh, I'm not sure about this! :) I'm a bit...Ooh, I'm not sure about this! :) I'm a bit traditionaist on these books.

...Oh, thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea !<br /><br />Like Keren said, they do have a kind of old-fashioned look. I like that. I'm not a huge fan of the Harry Potter font style and color though, I feel like it takes out the whole balance of the cover. But I like the illustrations.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270683124723296786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-26962042671471187792010-03-30T12:13:37.215+01:002010-03-30T12:13:37.215+01:00I like them - classic, slightly old-fashioned.I like them - classic, slightly old-fashioned.Keren Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121027210783177857noreply@blogger.com
