Fascinating Harry Potter Covers From Around The World That You Need To See Right Now

Neeti Chopra

Harry Potter is one of the best things that has happened to the world. If you disagree with me, there is a horde of fervent Harry Potter lovers behind me. The saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover.  But for something like Harry Potter and the sheer world of awesomeness that you get sucked into as soon as you open the book, (kind of like when Harry gets sucked into Riddle’s diary in Chamber of Secrets), it deserves a pretty kickass cover. Take a look at these book covers from around the world, while some fall flat, some are pure awesome-juice.

The Harry Potter editions that we got in India were UK Children edition illustrated by Thomas Taylor. Though neat and uncluttered, the illustrations were a tad bit boring and obvious.

This one is hilarious because Harry manages to look quizzical in all the books with one upturned eyebrow. Also looks like he’s photobombing the chubby dragon’s picture in The Goblet Of Fire.
