What's in a cover

[pbray]

I continue to be amused by the differences between the cover art for the US and UK editions of the Harry Potter books. The newly revealed covers for HP7 continue the trend.

Illustrations behind the cut for kindness.



US cover (one size fits all):

UK children's cover:

UK adult cover:

Note novel text exactly the same, only difference between children's version and adult version is the packaging.

I do prefer both UK covers to ours. I assume that the US gift/collectors edition will have a slight different cover though, because that is what they did for the last two books.

The UK cover appears to be a bit of a hint perhaps...

Be interesting to see what they come up with.
