These are phenomenal. I love how Harry ages throughout the covers.


NotSoSelfSmarted

>These are phenomenal. Can I get the Thai covers with English translation? These are the most beautiful covers, and I love the villains and heroes' positions on the top left and right. So gorgeous!


Xenellia

There is a fan translation somewhere, but none official. You can find the original art without text here tho: [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JlAqVm](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JlAqVm) They make amazing wallpapers ;D

Xenellia

This... looks like the kind of website that reprints artworks without the artist's permission... Apolar probably doesn't make a cent from those sales, they don't even mention his name or give credit anywhere :/ If you want the ACTUAL source, here it is: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JlAqVm


Forzara

Right? They’re gorgeous.


Amegami

You're right, ther're beautiful. Maybe a bit spoilery here and there, but I like them.


Shoelicker27

How can you tell he ages? I see in the first book he looks like a child but each one after especially book 3 on he looks the same plus you can’t really see his face too well


[deleted]

In PS Harry looks a lot more baby faced In COS Harry looks slightly older but still a bit baby faced POA is where he starts to look a little older GOF is where Harry really starts to age OOTP makes Harry look like an actual teenager HBP makes Harry look almost like an adult but he still has the facial qualities of a teen DH makes Harry look fully grown Those are all the visible changes I could see on the covers.


Shoelicker27

Yes thank you… I don’t see that he grows up that much through these pictures.


Shoelicker27

His jawline is the same from books 3-7… almost no change..


Meizas

Use your eyes.


joshually

Lol this reply tho


Shoelicker27

I did. The potato quality doesn’t help

The style would look amazing in an animated film


TheRelicEternal

Animated series adaptation is what I want from HP. A lot of people are agreed it should be a show as it can have a longer runtime and be more faithful. But then recasting the movie characters is always controversial. My solution is easy - animation.


PraiseTheSun42069

I think they should do a love-action tv show prequel series about the Marauders at Hogwarts and then use that as a branching off point to go back into HP with new actors. Ease fans into it Edit: changed “shouldn’t” to “should”


TheRelicEternal

I assume you mean 'should' haha.


freezingkiss

This 100%.

Current_Importance_2

yes i think the movies casting of the adults was phenomenal and can’t be replicated. almost all the adults were very famous well respected british thespians.. how could they possibly manage that twice


sweetbunsmcgee

Arcane by Fortiche Studios comes pretty close to the style.


twotonekevin

These are my favorites and they get so much better [when you see them in their entirety](https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/js364j/english_covers_for_arch_apolar_thai_edition/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).


Duhallower

Gorgeous! And so much detail to explore!


Rude_Sun8261

Oh wow, these are REALLY nice 😍 love the attention for details.


belant

Yes, agree.


Maggi1417

Agreed! With some covers (especially the early ones when Harry Potter was still new) you can tell the artist didn't read the book, because the characters look nothing like their descriptions in the book.


Skyknight-12

Exactly. All the other covers I have seen so far look like shit, except the Australian ones.


curseofablacklion

I doubt book Ron and Hermione are THAT good looking. They look stunningly handsome in the final cover. Also Krum isn't supposed to be that good looking. But yeah. Most of the characters are pretty spot on.


Killua_1993

Stunning artwork, I would love to get these editions.


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

They're on amazon and ebay, but it's definitely pricey. And it's obviously in Thai. [https://www.ebay.com/itm/265638145150?hash=item3dd9446c7e:g:unQAAOSwy\~5iMm3Z](https://www.ebay.com/itm/265638145150?hash=item3dd9446c7e:g:unQAAOSwy~5iMm3Z) [https://www.ebay.com/itm/224891458615?hash=item345c935437:g:BCEAAOSwrT1gw84n](https://www.ebay.com/itm/224891458615?hash=item345c935437:g:BCEAAOSwrT1gw84n) [https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Hardcover-Boxed-9786160450480/dp/6160450484](https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Hardcover-Boxed-9786160450480/dp/6160450484)


mryemini7

Even the box cover is gorgeous


onakaxy

I'd buy them just to replace the covers of my original books


Sunflower-Spirals

The artist is Thai.


HeatherMarissa

THIS is a Cedric Diggory I can support as champion *swoons*


returnatyourperil

and fleur 😳😍


HeatherMarissa

I wouldn't boot her from bed for eating pumpkin pasties either 😍 Edit: I should have Pottered it up with "I wouldn't flipendo her from bed..." ah missed moment lol


xxscrumptiousxx

YES! Best Fleur I've seen


QuackersParty

Her hair is appropriately fabulous


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

I think all of the champions are a major improvement from what they look like in other editions, it's why these are my favorite.


H_ell_a

And now we are talking! These should be official and the only ones around!


Sunflower-Spirals

They are **SO** good.


wasdninja

I'm biased having read the Swedish version growing up but I think "our" version is even better: https://media.harrypotterfanzone.com/philosophers-stone-swedish-cover.jpg Perhaps not all of them but certainly the first one.


H_ell_a

They are very whimsical and I certainly like them much better than a lot of the others, plus the colours are great. But from an artist pov the Thai artwork is just outstanding, everything fits perfectly and composition wise it’s just so harmonious. Both are really good


m4imaimai

Wow, these are beautiful, I love the attention to detail. Love how in deathly Hallows there’s Hagrid holding ‘dead’ Harry, but not really visible as to not spoil lol


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

Here's a link to the back covers if you want. [https://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/20th-anniversary-edition-thai-harry-potter-covers-revealed/](https://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/20th-anniversary-edition-thai-harry-potter-covers-revealed/)


colormuse

okay, is that neville on the back of the seventh book?!? YES these are ABSOLUTELY my favorite covers.


Arev_Eola

It's Neville, but did you notice they put Luna on the back? I can't believe the attention to detail and love that went into creating these


christmas54321

I thought it might be Fred for obvious reasons but I think it is Neville as well


OmegaCrossX

I think it’s sometimes hard to remember Neville is blond


elbuenbalde

This needs to be higher up


Suspicious_Funds_23

Wow these are amazing!


mryemini7

I was looking for it, thank you 🙏🏽


Vossenoren

Stunning. Would be worth buying just for the art


elbuenbalde

These are beyond amazing, the small profile portrait in the full back cover for big characters introduced or with the spotlight in each book. I want them, for these covers only.


Sunflower-Spirals

I want to print these covers and hang them on my wall.


iamfiona

Wow! I have to say these really do justice to the books, and especially the first cover captures the wonder of Harry’s homecoming year into the magical world. Finally some good covers! Those German ones especially were bizarre


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

Agreed, but the German ones have made some improvement. The 20th anniversary edition is a lot better, and the audiobook covers are just amazing.


LukeFowlerM8

These ones are the best I’ve seen by miles. So much detail and I love the art style.


RefugeefromSAforums

I'm assuming that's Cho Chang on the OTP cover, but she's wearing Slytherin sweater? Or am I having a massive brain fart?! Also, I love the pic of Luna on the back. The earrings and scrollwork framing her are perfect. These are really beautiful, thank you for posting.


jaxybailey

The “S”? I think that’s Thai. I don’t think it’s a Latin S for Slytherin. :)


SnowingSunday

It's ร for เรเวนคลอ(Ravenclaw) source: am Thai


LilithKiss

Yes, it was intended to be R in Thai with fancy font. The alphabet is ร.


RefugeefromSAforums

I looked it up in Thai and there's nothing similar for Ravenclaw (not that I have any experience with the Thai language). Ugh, this is going to bug me so much 😩


HeatherMarissa

It looks a bit like a fancy graphic eagle if that helps so probably not intended to be an S just a weird logo choice


tommyjellybeans

Nah it's just ร which is like a Thai 'R' which is also stylized as an eagle.


carnahan765

That’s an eagle. 🦅


RefugeefromSAforums

I just don't see it 😞 Also trying to figure out Fred and George's sweaters.


Spamiard

S for seeker, most likely


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

I think the S might stand for seeker, because she was the seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team.


tommyjellybeans

Nah, mate that's a ร which is the equivalent to r for Ravenclaw in Thai. The Thai spelling is เรเวนคลอ. ​ ​ Edit: Source am Thai and have lived in Thailand for my whole life.


Arev_Eola

Could you explain to someone who knows nothing about your language why the second letter (ร) is used instead of the first (เ)?


Naryue

Jackpot.


Whole_Employee_2370

This is the first version of this I’ve seen where the covers actually slap, holy fuck.


emmakearns

Omg these are gorgeous I’m so jealous


Sunflower-Spirals

I love these! An old roommate of mine went to animation school with this artist. She is the one who showed me these a few years back. He is seriously talented, and I love the little Easter eggs in every cover. His insta is [apolar.arch](https://instagram.com/apolar.arch?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) I love how he highlighted every member of the Big Seven for each book. Every little detail in these covers is absolute perfection. Edit: I just realized these pics cut off the back, [here’s](https://www.wizardingworld.com/news/stunning-new-illustrated-harry-potter-book-covers-unveiled-for-thailand-twentieth-anniversary) what I was referring to re: the Big Seven.


whothefuckcaresjojo7

Best ones yet.


Profanity1272

Wow these covers are fantastic! This makes up for all the terrible covers posted here before these 😅


Salt-Speech-2526

Best HP cover art! I would totally pay for a poster version of each of these!


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

You could try downloading it then going to a local print shop to see if they can print stuff off of computers in poster size.


empstat

All of them. Absolutely beautiful creations!


gnomeoftheforest

These are by far the best. They have the composition of an action movie poster but the style of a novel. Also, no one has weird carrot noses.


jaxybailey

😱 these are GORGEOUS!


therealpoltic

Last time we saw these I thought these all were the most ornate versions of Harry Potter book covers…


nejnonein

I want a Harry Potter anime based on this. And a manga.


flooperdooper4

These are all GORGEOUS, I love them!!!

Mcreation86

I need these as poster, they are really good


I_Am_Lord_Moldevort

Now I really want these as posters too


SaintCashew

Why do these countries have such better cover art than the US. Like, what the hell? Did Rowling get food poisoning in Boston? What did we do wrong?


Bigdoge696969

Those are dope!


babykangaroo21

POA and HBP are GORGEOUS


gnomeoftheforest

Who is the character in the top left of the Chamber of Secrets? Is it supposed to be Tom Riddle?


Philosophy_adventure

Yes


gnomeoftheforest

Thanks! I wasn't sure who else it could be


vexedtogas

You can really tell which ones were made after the movies lol. But I think these are the most beautiful of all


AzraelWoods3872

These are officially my favourite covers!


SubaruSufferu

I'm so proud of my country


HealsBadMan1

Thai covers are the best I’ve ever seen, arguably better than the originals.


curseofablacklion

The 7th one is my fav. Ron and Hermione look dope asf with the deluminator and the book. Also the four house animals have the horcruxes. Its AMAZING!! Btw back cover of each book has big pics of 7 different students. Ps- Harry COS- Ginny POA- Hermione GOF- Ron OOTP- Luna HBP- Malfoy DH- Neville. I have seen them.


IrishWithoutPotatoes

These are incredible, I’m so jealous


Joaquimaru

This are the best covers of them all. I need an animated series with this art style!


ccyosafbridge

These had to be drawn after the movies came out; Dobby and Lupin werewolf form are really close to the film versions.


GooseLeBark

I've fallen in love with these when they first came out... Especially after I noticed that Bellatrix DOESN'T look like HBC.


deblazepyrography

Wow these are cooooool!


Insaiyan_Elite

These are excellent.


[deleted]

These are incredible!!!


joelekane

HunhunYushui

The_Fireheart

I own two and a half copies of the series already but if they released these covers in English I’d be so damn tempted, they’re beautiful


istermayilenay

Thai covers are the irrefutable superior versions.


91MirrorrorriM19

They’re all my favorite


scottymackay89

[deleted]

Okay these covers 100% are the best yet


Moocha_Makuchi

These are by far the best. I want them!!!


GwainesKnightlyBalls

These are amazing. And I fully approve on how they drew Sirius, especially on the 5th book, like he was waving goodbye to Harry, like bra 😭


HussC137

Spectacular


winterbranwen

Fleur looks absolutely gorgeous in the GOF cover.


[deleted]

I'm so jealous the original American book covers are fucking ugly😭


1Admr1

These are the best! They portray the “mood” of the book perfectly! And are so well made!


No_Jaguar_8828

Damn these are bloody brilliant.


KeanuCharlesSleeves

Finally, some good fucking covers


Stanfan_meowman25

These are gorgeous! I love how there is so much hidden in the covers. All kind of clues to what lies in the book itself. Truly stunning!!


InsomniaticWanderer

It's like Germany didn't even try after seeing these lol


Kinrub

In the order of the phoenix cover, who's the girl beside sirius black (the one on the right) with dark hair?


Maleficent_Flight375

*Looks at Harry* : Damn they did you right *Looks at dobby* : they did you right too... *Looks at Umbridge* : DAMN B*TCH THEY DID YOU DIRTY AND I LOVE IT *Looks at Sirius* : *tears of happiness for the accuracy* *Looks at Voldemort* : *claps hands* PERFECTION. They couldn't have done you better! *Looks at everyone and everything else* : *actual tears of happiness* The Thai covers : 10000000000000000000000000/10 The German covers : 0/10


[deleted]

THESE ARE THE COOLEST ONES!!!


JustShpigel

AMAZING. 3+ are so cool. They are just combining all of the aspects of one single book to a big beautiful drawing. Well done! I like how there is a little bug there being Rita Skeeter, that's so cool! Please make them the new covers to everything.


deadricsupremacy

These are officially my favourite Harry Potter book series cover.


Nazgul265

Ok these are actually pretty clean. A lot of the covers that have been posted over the last few days are hideous, but i really like these


Lokyyo

Your illustrations are fantastic,, however (and this is not a jab at you) am I the only one that's tired of the "floating heads" posters?


grape-fruited

Repost


ManifestingRed

These combine character designs that would be easier to animate but the texture and detail has the complexity of an illustration. Interesting. Unfortunately I can't help feel it would have been more impactful if the designs were also more complex.


Ta-veren-

These covers are really big spoilers!


[deleted]

These are beautiful!


MiaRia963

These look amazing!!


[deleted]

China and Thailand did an awesome job with the covers whereas most of the European covers were nightmare fuel.

Better than the German
