Short post today, just to gush over the 20th Anniversary Harry Potter covers.
I bought a hardcopy and a paperback for my wife’s birthday, both in the house she was sorted into, Slytherin. Even though I’m a Ravenclaw (together we’re a Slytherclaw) I have to admit these books look I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E.
The only downfall was the sleeve of the hardcover edition. The second human skin touches it, a near-permanent imprint remains.
But from the beautiful crest to the inverted color scheme and the painted page edges, these books are beautiful.
Awe! That’s such a perfect gift for her!!! My copies are coming in sometime today ? She’s a Slytherin though? I never would have thought! I would have considered her a Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. I spent the first night of summer vacation sorting out the whole family lol yup. We’re nerds like that ?
I think she was surprised, and maybe a little disappointed, when she was first sorted, but has developed pride in it since. We haven’t sorted the kids yet, because I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE! We just might have something to do tonight!
I haven’t yet but I definitely need to! I’m a Slytherin too so I can’t wait to get my hands on these!
They look even better in person than they do in pictures!
I love theses editions and had to restrain myself from buying all four of them ?
So gorgeous!
Still going back and fourth betwen this and the illustrated editions! Current bookshelves are really too jammed to accomodate anything else, but…HARRY POTTER ANNIVERSARY EDITIONS!
What do you do when the bookshelves are that full? Sell some books? Store some books? Or get another bookshelf? Lol.
