It's like Harry Potter is so cool that they don't need to put the entire title on the cover!Yeah, imagine Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone had been scored by Nicholas Hooper and the soundtrack cover had looked something like this.

No one would even be watching the movies today...That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard you say. Or type.John Williams may be heavily responsible for the success of many of his movies, but it's Harry Freaking Potter.

I think it's kind of brilliant the way they used the HP logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 At least they updated the look of Hogwarts to something a little more modern!Oh, wait...that's not Hogwarts. That's a setting from one relatively unimportant scene.It's Harry Potter: The Voyage Home, where Harry and co. are stuck in the city environment of London with many humourous situations exploiting wizards' total ineptitude in the real muggle world, like when they're crossing the road without looking, and an angry pommie driver yells out "Watch where you're going, you barmpot blighter!"And Harry responds with "Well double barmpot blighter on you!"

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Don't think the tracklist is too bad, but that cover's just weird, I hope they're not trying to start a new trend. And I haven't read the book for a few years, so I'm not sure what scene is being referred to.I'll give the score a chance, but my expectations aren't high after what I consider a mostly unimpressive OotP.

John Crichton 4 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 If you put 50 monkeys in a room and gave them computers with Photoshop they'd come up with a better cover. In half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 You know what...I really like the coverart. It reminds me of the credit scene of Temple Of Doom, partially obscured by Willy Scott! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yeah but the full title isn't even on there. It'd be like if ToD's opening title said "NDIANA JON".

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I agree with Stefan. I don't particularly like the artwork, but the use of the title appeals to me. It's not like anyone really needs the title to guess what it is anyway.This world would be boring if it was wall-to-wall Struzan. I kind of wish someone would do some new updated SW posters.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 No, they were never more then well made mass-entertainment.The first 2 were directed by the guy who did the Home Alone films.

Red 75 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 That is some pretty bad cover art, not because of the blocked lettering but mainly because of the cliched 'serious' poses from all the characters and of course the coloring.
