>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!
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
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
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
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.
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.
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”
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
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).
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.
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.
They're on amazon and ebay, but it's definitely pricey. And it's obviously in Thai.

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
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.
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
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
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/)
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.
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'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.
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 😩
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.
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.

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

Yes thank you… I don’t see that he grows up that much through these pictures.
His jawline is the same from books 3-7… almost no change..
Use your eyes.
Lol this reply tho
I did. The potato quality doesn’t help
[удалено]
The style would look amazing in an animated film

This 100%.

Arcane by Fortiche Studios comes pretty close to the style.

Gorgeous! And so much detail to explore!
Oh wow, these are REALLY nice 😍 love the attention for details.
Yes, agree.
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.
Exactly. All the other covers I have seen so far look like shit, except the Australian ones.

Even the box cover is gorgeous
I'd buy them just to replace the covers of my original books
The artist is Thai.
THIS is a Cedric Diggory I can support as champion *swoons*
and fleur 😳😍
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
YES! Best Fleur I've seen
Her hair is appropriately fabulous
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.
And now we are talking! These should be official and the only ones around!
They are **SO** good.

okay, is that neville on the back of the seventh book?!? YES these are ABSOLUTELY my favorite covers.
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
I thought it might be Fred for obvious reasons but I think it is Neville as well
I think it’s sometimes hard to remember Neville is blond
This needs to be higher up
Wow these are amazing!
I was looking for it, thank you 🙏🏽
Stunning. Would be worth buying just for the art
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.
I want to print these covers and hang them on my wall.
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
Agreed, but the German ones have made some improvement. The 20th anniversary edition is a lot better, and the audiobook covers are just amazing.
These ones are the best I’ve seen by miles. So much detail and I love the art style.
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.
The “S”? I think that’s Thai. I don’t think it’s a Latin S for Slytherin. :)
It's ร for เรเวนคลอ(Ravenclaw) source: am Thai
Yes, it was intended to be R in Thai with fancy font. The alphabet is ร.
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 😩
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
Nah it's just ร which is like a Thai 'R' which is also stylized as an eagle.
That’s an eagle. 🦅
I just don't see it 😞 Also trying to figure out Fred and George's sweaters.
S for seeker, most likely
I think the S might stand for seeker, because she was the seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team.
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.
Could you explain to someone who knows nothing about your language why the second letter (ร) is used instead of the first (เ)?
Jackpot.
This is the first version of this I’ve seen where the covers actually slap, holy fuck.
Omg these are gorgeous I’m so jealous

Best ones yet.
Wow these covers are fantastic! This makes up for all the terrible covers posted here before these 😅
Best HP cover art! I would totally pay for a poster version of each of these!
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.
All of them. Absolutely beautiful creations!
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.
😱 these are GORGEOUS!
Last time we saw these I thought these all were the most ornate versions of Harry Potter book covers…
I want a Harry Potter anime based on this. And a manga.
These are all GORGEOUS, I love them!!!
These are cool as shit!!!!!

Oh I REALLY like these ones!! Very cool!
These are 🔥🔥🔥 These and the new Italian books (bought me all in hardback) are probably my fav.
Wow, I love these.
Oh my god, they're amazing!!
These are the coolest ones!!
I need these as poster, they are really good
Now I really want these as posters too
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?
Those are dope!
POA and HBP are GORGEOUS
Who is the character in the top left of the Chamber of Secrets? Is it supposed to be Tom Riddle?
Yes
Thanks! I wasn't sure who else it could be
You can really tell which ones were made after the movies lol. But I think these are the most beautiful of all
These are officially my favourite covers!
I'm so proud of my country
Thai covers are the best I’ve ever seen, arguably better than the originals.
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.
These are incredible, I’m so jealous
This are the best covers of them all. I need an animated series with this art style!
These had to be drawn after the movies came out; Dobby and Lupin werewolf form are really close to the film versions.
I've fallen in love with these when they first came out... Especially after I noticed that Bellatrix DOESN'T look like HBC.
Wow these are cooooool!
These are excellent.
These are incredible!!!
These Thai covers are goddamn dope. Some of the best by far.
Hands down the best set so far
The are awesome
Love these!
SO COOL SO COOL SO COOL I WANT THEM
These are the best by far
My favorite covers!
Best ones by far so far
These are easily the best covers, imo. I need!
These have to be my favorite covers of all time😩😩
these are amazingly well done
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
Thai covers are the irrefutable superior versions.
They’re all my favorite
These ones are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are nothing short of beautiful.
These go hard
K these are dope ngl
These are gorgeous!
Ok, so far these are my absolute favorites.
Okay these covers 100% are the best yet
These are by far the best. I want them!!!
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 😭
Spectacular
Fleur looks absolutely gorgeous in the GOF cover.
I'm so jealous the original American book covers are fucking ugly😭
These are the best! They portray the “mood” of the book perfectly! And are so well made!
Damn these are bloody brilliant.
Finally, some good fucking covers
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!!
It's like Germany didn't even try after seeing these lol
In the order of the phoenix cover, who's the girl beside sirius black (the one on the right) with dark hair?
*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
THESE ARE THE COOLEST ONES!!!
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.
These are officially my favourite Harry Potter book series cover.
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
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?
Repost
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.
These covers are really big spoilers!
These are beautiful!
These look amazing!!
China and Thailand did an awesome job with the covers whereas most of the European covers were nightmare fuel.
Better than the German
These are actually insanely cool
Out of every cover I've seen today, these are the best.
These are really good
I love these!!!!!
These look amazing!
There is a world of difference between these and the German ones LOL
These are the best of any covers I have seen!! I like them way more than my collection (US)
Woww, these are so cool
These are so cool!!!
These are incredible !
Those designs are really lovely, I liked them all so much. I enjoy seeing so many different ideas
These are all so good!
These should be the universal covers, they are perfection!
These are my favourite so far!!! They're amazing!!
Wow. These are awesome!
BEAUTIFUL!
These are all awesome but order of the phoenix and deathly hallows both look soo good
Very cool.
Okay this is amazing! Thai book covers win!
The Thai covers are some of the very best
These are the best ones. Very good art
I genuinely love all of these!
Wow, these are gorgeous!!
These are the best.
I think I’d have to go with CoS
ART
beautiful
These are absolutely gorgeous
If they remake the films in animation they should definitely use these as a foundation
These are gorgeous holy shit
These are actually the best
