I Hate The Cover Art

I agree with your complaint about the childish looking covers.  I am 
particularly annoyed by the US edition of Book 4. I suspect that the 
people who renamed "Philosopher's Stone" had a hand in the US cover 
art.

Some of the HP cover art from other countries is better -- I 
particularly like the German depictions of Harry. On the other hand, 
some of the alternate covers are a lot worse than the US covers 
(Iceland, Iran). See the following website for a nice collection of 
international covers:
