from around the world

I have just been to this website

http://www.harrypotterguide.co.uk/

and looked at book covers from around the word some of them were quite amusing the iclandic one even depicted harry potter rarther fat

some of them were realy good but a few were quite obscure

take a look ... you have to go into books and then to book covers from around the world

witch one do you like the best ??

Oooh, I really love the Ukraine covers but it isn't in that website you posted. I'm not sure where I got them (because it was a long time ago) but I did save the images. I'm going to attache all 5 Ukraine book covers...

They're very well-detailed illustrations! You gotta love them! They're as great as the US book covers, even better =)

BOOK 1, Sorcerer's Stone

BOOK 2, Chamber of Secrets

BOOK 3, Prisoner of Azkaban

BOOK 4, Goblet of Fire

BOOK 5, Order of the Phoenix

If you zoom in on all these pictures, you'll notice they're really VERY detailed. =)

For example:

If you zoom in on the 3rd Ukraine book cover, you'll see two hooded person in the right which maybe dementors.

Also, if you zoom in on the 5th, you'll see Snape, Neville, Hermione, Ron... =)

LMAO! he is fat im iceland!

i love the cover from ukraine too! its soo cool to see many different illustrations and boks from around the world. i'm starting to collect them. but dont have very many right now all i have is the american ones and the ones we sell here in canada as well as the japanese ones my friend got for me

I've wanted to start getting copies from other countries too, but don't know where to start. Did you just get yours while on holiday? taz

Ukraine I think.

Well I have the first 4 books in Turkish and they have the USA book covers.The 5th book I have is the British one.

Wow, it's really interesting to see how different countries stylise people in their drawings - e.g. like anime has a distinctive technique.

I really like the covers from the Netherlands and Denmark, and I was surprised at the French ones - they look really simple as if someone really young drew them or they were done on a basic design program!

Does anyone have a link for the adult covers? I've seen the UK ones but not any others.
