UPDATE: The two new covers can be seen here and here. They will be released on July 31st!
The Bookseller is reporting that Bloomsbury, the UK publisher of the Potter series, is set to re-release Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages:
The relaunched titles will again raise funds for the charity with 1.15 pounds from each 4.99 pound title sold going to Comic Relief.
The print run for the new version has yet to be confirmed. A spokesman for Bloomsbury said: “There are always new Harry Potter readers coming to the series each year who will be looking for other exciting things to read.”
If new covers are released for the books we'll be sure to bring them to you.

I really enjoyed the quidditch one. Fantastic beasts...not so much.

I really really want to buy these!!! Hopefully Scholastic will do the same thing, so that I wont have to spend so much money on shipping the books all the way from the UK!! Because Im definitely going to buy them!!! I wonder when JK Rowling is going to release a non-Harry Potter related book. I know shes writing one or two, so its only a matter of time...I just wish that time were NOW!

Previous editions of the book were published in a slim format similar to the

Hm, actually, I think I prefer the old covers, especially of the fantastic beasts and where to find them.. Hm, its coming on 31 July..what a nice day for a HP book to get released :P

I dont think theyll do it in hardback.
Itll be just redone, because, the older ones I bought in rnd 2001 looked like they were just done in 5 minutes on paint!

Wow, they look great! I have the original two, but Im thinking of getting these now.

I like the New Fantastic Beast one more than the old one, but Im still sticking with the old Quidditch one.

Theyre rather plain, I think, but I do like the new cover for Quidditch through the Ages. I already have copies of them, but maybe Ill get new ones. Its for a wonderful cause, afterall. How appropriate that they release it on the 31st of July!

I loved both of these books! Awesome! I do like the old covers better though...
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-14 20:45:47
Ehh..the covers are fine.....
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-14 20:47:53
I like them. I mean, I have Quidditch Through the Ages, and the old cover and new cover arent much different, but the new ones look good.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-14 21:31:29
this is great! they dont print the old ones anymore. will definately be buying these. :)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-14 21:32:39
I own both previous copies but really like the new covers! Money is for charity so why not buy it again?!?
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-14 21:48:16
oh koolio! i read fantastic beasts and where to find them at my cousins for they have it! i loved it and this new version looks 10 times better! will they be avaliable in aus?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-04-14 23:39:13
Ermmm I think I preferred the old covers. Even though I know that they really ARE written by JKR, having a giant "by J.K. Rowling" on the cover kinda ruins the effect for me... Oh well.

Yeah, I dont like having the huge JK ROWLING FROM THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER on there. It sort of ruins it for me because I like to pretend that I am a student at Hogwarts reading that book for a class. Thats what I didnt like about The Tales of Beedle the Bard because it didnt make too much sense for me to have Dumbledore addressing me as a muggle when that totally violates the Statute of Secrecy...but maybe thats just me?

these were such cute little books, im so glad theyre re-releasing them for a new audience and also to donate more for charity.

Im sooooo happy that they release those books again, now i can buy them too! And I LOVE the new covers! =D But I dont like the huge JK ROWLING FROM THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER, like wishbottles said.
