Bloomsbury release (another) new set of Harry Potter covers


The new cover
Bloomsbury release (another) new set of Harry Potter covers

It has been seventeen years since Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone was first published here in the UK and since then it has been read by millions of people worldwide. Spawning six sequels, eight films and a global studio tour and theme park franchise this small book has changed both the British publishing and British film industries forever. But with no new books or films on the horizon (the first film in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trilogy isn’t expected to be released until the end of 2016) what would be the best way to entice new readers to the series?  UK publishers Bloomsbury think that some exciting new covers will do the trick, but what do you think?
