Cover subjects

[Heather Hettick]

I'm with you on that Jenny.  I like the first one too mainly because of the
vivid color and that's the one my daughter drags around and calls "my Harry
Potter."  She likes to go through it and have me sort of tell her the story
and look at the chapter illustrations.

I like that GOF illustration so well, I found a big bookstore poster of it
that I bought on Ebay.  My parents got it framed for me for my birthday so I
pick it up this weekend!!  Now, to decide where to hang it.

I was in Germany in April and even if I could read German, I couldn't bring
myself to buy those books because I didn't care for the covers either.  I
did get the first three British paperbacks though.

Someone mentioned they liked the German covers - I think they're a bit
too angular and weird.

I agree though that the underwater cover was really interesting.

My favorite covers are still the ones designed by Mary Grandpre (USA).
Even though Harry's face looks a bit warped on the covers of the first
three books, her depiction of him on the cover of GoF is exactly how I
picture him - and the drawing makes me want to give him a big hug.  I
also like her smaller illustrations on the first page of each chapter.>>
