what do you all think about the new adult n children covers of harry potter 7 aka the Deathly Hallows?

Question

it's out today. check it out at the-leaky-cauldron.org n www.mugglenet.com if u haven't seen it n let me know ur thoughts!

Answer 1

It looks good to me, reminds me of some of the terry prattchet covers I have seen.

Harry seems to look much older than Ron and Hermione on the cover which seems strange. Also I'm wondering if it is Dobby holding the knife... hmmm, I like mysteries.

Answer 2

I do not like the childrens cover. I just think that it doesn't look as good. I really like the adult one. That is not how I pictured the locket but it is a good picture. However the US addition hardly shows us anything and it is hard to make a prediction about anything with these covers.
I am wondering where the Trio are on the Childrens UK addition. I wonder if they are at Gringots or something. That would be interesting. I wonder if a Horcrux is in Gringots like the Stone was from book One! Ah! To many thoughts.

Answer 3

The US Version: Some people seem to think that the US cover isn't as detailed as the Uk covers but I think this gives more than the UK covers. For starters wee see that Both Voldermort and Harry are reaching out to something. We see that they are in the ruins of some sort of Roman designed Coliseum. In the back we see silhouettes ( could be death eaters of Order members.)

The UK cover I think is confusing. My sister sais they are beign sucked into some sort of vortext, that could be true. But it seemed to me like Harry and Hermione were rushing for something that could be a Horcrux and Ron who's holding a sword could be fighting off something. ( I don;'t like this cover too much, it seems comic-book-ish to me)

The adult cover, is not as good as the last one. It gave nothing away. The last one we knew Harry was taking potions even though he said he wouldn't be able to but this one. We see the Locket horcurx, which we already know about. Soo the best cover to me is the US cover.

Answer 4

Don't think they're as good as the previous covers but what are you going to do it's the inside that matters!! I really don't see the point of an adult version it's a waste it's just so adults don't feel ebarrassed!!

Answer 5

I'd like to see a 7 volume boxed edition with the adult covers for all of them! Soon!
My "children-cover" Phoenix volume is getting run-down. I read it too much.

Answer 6

I'm a little disappointed. It's not as intricate as the other covers. Plus the other covers give you an idea of what scenes happen in the story, but this one could be anything.

Answer 7

they're interesting and it's not Ron holding the sword, which has to be Godric Gryffindor's, it's the house elf behind Harry, which I think must be Kreacher because he's not wearing any hats. I could be wrong, but the possibility that Kreacher is holding the sword disturbs me.

Answer 8

Perhaps the best one yets, but I may just be saying that because they're new.

I prefer the UK covers to the americans, (even though Harry looks better on the American version.)

I always prefer the kids version to the adults, but its cool to see the slytherin locket!
That damn thing!
hee

Answer 9

I like the adults' cover: it is more mysterious and darker. The Us children's one, on the other hand, it is very well drawn, but it doesn't "say" or communicate anything to me.

I don't understand the meaning of the Birtish one.

Answer 10

For one, if you need to create 2 different cover for 2 age groups then maybe you should rethink marketing to children. Maybe they are too adult

second, one is a generic photo the other is a very un-memorable generic aand busy action scene.


US version is much better, sorry but true. If all three were lined up on a store bookshelf I would definatly pick up the us version

TOTALLY DISAPOINTED!
