I already mentioned how excited I am about the upcoming re-release of the Harry Potter books with brand-new cover art in my
weekly round-up this past Sunday, but I just can't help highlighting it here too.
Expected Publication: September 2013
I wanted to be upset about messing with the original, but I
really love this first cover and can't wait to see what the artist, Kazu Kibuishi, has done with the other six books. The news is all over the internet, but I first read it from
Shelf Awareness. And according to
Publisher's Weekly, the boxed set will retail for $100 and the individual books will be priced between $12.99 and $16.99. My best friend and I are already planning to swap boxed sets for our birthday gifts this year -- who needs a surprise when you can have Harry? :)
I can't wait for the box set to be released!
ReplyDeleteme either!
DeleteThe new covers look so great!
ReplyDeleteI know, they are so gorgeous!
DeleteI have to admit that I miss the unicorn on the front. Otherwise, love it!
ReplyDeleteI've decided it's completely possible to love both old and new covers -- glad I'm not the only one :)
DeleteYou got me even more excited for this... if that is possible!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll buy them, but it is pretty cool! I can't believe they've been out for so long!
ReplyDeleteMe either! I kind of did a double-take when I realized which anniversary these books were celebrating.
DeleteI have never read Harry Potter (yeah yeah I know :p) so when I saw the news of the set with new covers being released, I decided that might actually be the perfect opportunity :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, Christine, I like yours a lot :)
Whenever I hear someone who hasn't read this series yet, I actually get a little bit jealous since I know you still have the opportunity ahead of you to read the books for the first time!I just think they are so magical and I will never forget the first time I read them. I definitely recommend reading them when you get a chance & I hope you enjoy them as much as I have :)
DeleteI love the new cover. There is something softer with this one than the first one. But nothing compares to my first love. LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to books, I think it's OK to have more than one love, lol :)
