Now, we have spotted hi-res versions of the 3rd and 4th book back cover. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban can be seen RIGHT HERE, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire can be seen RIGHT HERE.
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.
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.
