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.

Bah! That seemed like such a good plan.

I've seen the UK editions at sci-fi cons in the dealer's room, once the initial frenzy of the new releases has died.

It did, didn't it?

I'm always having Good Ideas that turn out to have Fatal Flaws. Sigh.
