Entertainment Weekly has just released a new list of their picks for the top ten greatest books of all time and the Potter series comes in seventh! The magazine calls the Potter books “the richest coming-of-age tale ever.”
MuggleNet has found the images for both Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. According to an article by the Wall Street Journal, the cover for Goblet of Fire was released by Scholastic’s vice president and publisher, Arthur Levine, in Chicago, Illinois at the annual American Library convention.
As we reported earlier, the new Scholastic cover for the paperback version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was set to be released during the Opening Ceremonies at the LeakyCon convention in Portland, Oregon which several members of the MuggleNet staff are attending. Those ceremonies have now taken place and Cheryl Klein, Scholastic’s content editor for the Harry Potter book series, removed the cover and exposed the image.
There’s been a lot of exciting news about Harry Potter cover art recently. While you wait to check out the new cover art from Scholastic, why not check out some of these awesome illustrations by the original US illustrator Mary GrandPre?

To go along with the anticipation of the unveiling of the new Scholastic book cover for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today during the opening ceremonies at LeakyCon, we have some additional book cover news. However, this time it is news for the adult editions of the Potter books from Bloomsbury in the UK.
Over the last few months, Scholastic has been celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone release by unveiling all new paperback book covers designed by artist extraordinaire, Kazu Kibuishi.
That’s right. Today marks, surprisingly, the tenth anniversary for the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Book 5 of J.K. Rowling’s magnificent Harry Potter series, in both the United States and United Kingdom.
