Harry Potter couldn’t win the 84th Oscar Award which nominated for 3 Categories, not like other series this one completed its version. so we can’t expect next year award from OSCAR 2013.

However the world and their Die-hard fans will remember the Harry potter ever, to tribute to them once again we made a wonderful “Harry Potter Book Covers” for Inspiration. Welcome our new Guest author Cadence, She Collected some rare hardcover editions for us. Get inspired from the following Book covers mentioned below.

Reworked Harry Potter Book Covers

Digging through stacks of books in garage sales and secondhand bookstores helped hone my book-hunting skills. Rare hardcover editions, old paperbacks, even staggeringly heavy collections do not escape me when I’m focused on looking for them. These adventures led me to different books with cover art ranging from the simplest to the most elaborate. While I find intricate details on book covers intriguing, I still find myself drawn to the simpler ones that do not confuse readers.

Looking at nice book covers never fails to cheer me up. Beautifully-illustrated covers and jackets are the first things I notice (aside from the weight of the book). They’re like portable art pieces I can bring and show my friends. Not only do I get to brag about a good find, I also get to enjoy the contents of the book itself.

Book cover designers devote time and effort to create the ideal art to serve as the book’s face. Different illustrations, photos, and fonts are considered in making book covers. One of my favorites, the Harry Potter series, has its US edition’s covers, jackets, and chapter illustrations by Mary GrandPré. In an interview with amazon.com, GrandPré revealed that she highlights scenes in the advanced copy of the book she receives. From there, she chooses the ones to illustrate and send to J.K. Rowling for approval.

Harry Potter’s devoted fans took it upon themselves to show how much they appreciate the books and the films. Fan-made art, such as reworked book covers of the series, are prominent online. An artist whose Harry Potter book covers I admire is M.S. Corley. He reinterpreted the covers of different books, including Harry Potter. His art reminds me of Penguin Classics’ covers where art is stripped off of unnecessary elements, focusing on an object, scene, or character in the book instead.

The reworked book covers look like it hailed from the 80’s.

As a Graphic Designer I find this to be really useful. Lately Ive been into minimalism in my work, and I find all of these covers have a minimalistic approach to them. The covers all make the point to hint you to the most climactic scene but not take it too far as to make enough sense to ruin the ending. This kind of art has more fulfillment when it makes sense after you see the film or read the book in this case. Its interesting, as its more of a psychological approach to aesthetic effects.

The Corely covers are very Penguin books- very much like many of the Rand covers. The best of those is the first, although the birds feet could have been less crow-y and more owl-y. Still, that image covers a lot of ground. I liked very much the PoA cover with the tree. Very simple, but used an element that doesn’t reveal too much while instantly recognizable to someone who knows the story. Finally, I really enjoyed the Melinsky covers, which strongly remind me of the covers/ illustrations for the Chronicles of Narnua. Loved it, thanks!
