JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Just remember: you can't judge a book by its cover. NeilYou obviously haven't seen too many VC Andrews Novels, or Anne Rice novels. It is easy to judge some books by their covers if it says VC Andrews, or Anne Rice, it means its either badly written or very badly written.

Ren 75 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 i like the UK one, but US one is way cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 At mugglenet, you can see the UK children's version, adult version (same for UK and US), and US children's version. Out of these three, I have to say the US children's is the least interesting. The others each have a stunning phoenix, while the US children's has Harry with nothing really in the background. I'm sure it reflects the book well, and it does fit with the rest of the US covers, but even compared to them it seems bland. Maybe the back cover will have something more interesting.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 if it says VC Andrews, or Anne Rice, it means its either badly written or very badly written.VC Andrews is dead. Any book coming out with her name on it anymore is just a pseudonym for another author.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren 75 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I don't know, i beg to differ Ray.if you take a close look you'll see three doors, maybe this is a place that is REALLY important in the next bookJK said he'd visit somewhere new, I think it may be godric's hollow on the cover.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Well, like I said, I'm sure there's significance to the cover. It just doesn't look very impressive comparatively. And the coloring is . . . different. Not necessarily bad, but different.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelot 508 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Well, since people desided to ignore my thread in Other Topics about this and post here instead, I shall do the same.... To hell with my thread I like the UK childrens cover the best. Incredible colours and it really stands out. I'm in agreement with Ray on this.

Ray BarnsburyYou only think that because you haven't bothered to look closely. There is a phoenix on the American cover. We fanatics at several HP boards have just found it.

ocelot 508 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I don't know, unless he is looking at the phoenix and it's in his glasses.. If that's the case I can't see it as I refuse to go fetch a magnifying glass to see that sort of detail.... Now talking about detail, I think this book should have been titled, Harry Potter and the Order of the Sex Change.... I mean, is it only me or does everyone else see K.D.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Well forgive me, I HAVE looked closely at the cover and see no phoenix, unless it's some abstract image created by all those blue swirls. Good for you for having the talent to find it. Regardless, for better or for worse, the US cover is the least eye-catching.Ray Barnsbury-who is just stating an opinion and has nothing against the US cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
