...WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?
I mean, what the fuck!?!?! I believe that these covers are absolutely horrible (and not in comparison to the old ones...just generally horrible) No offence to the Illustrator who was excited and honoured to do the covers, but they just dont suit harry potter for me (ive switched from speaking for all HP fans to just my opinion as it would be reckless to assume organised extended critism).
I think thyre boring, dull, passable in a bookstore, insignificant and weak, they arent powerful, captivating, imaginatively inspiring, nor are they accurate in how things are captured by readers through description and writting of Joanne's where the text is full of life and intricate movement (if you know what i mean). These covers are quite 'still' and 2D, though there is obviously depth in the illustrations as there are shadows and stuff, but 2D in the way that they arent alive and are kinda just 'stuck' there.
And im so upset about the text of "Harry Potter", the font thats used for it...its the least fitting thing on the cover...well, in contention for the least fitting thing. The other convention of the book that is crap for me is the white background. Not a fan. boring, plain, the illustration over it looks like coloured pencil was used...uuuuuuuuugh.
Well, its obviously an easy way to get money for bloomsbury. Lots of crazy fans will collect these covers even if they dont like them, simply because they are different, re-issues and are harry potter. I wont be one of those harry potte fans purchasing them. Sorry, shouldve left them alone. They have the next movie scheduled for release on the 19th of november and then the second part of it for 15th of july, i wouldnt have thought they would need to bring something else out to bring back harry potter when the movies are coming up. The only reason i can think other than making money (which is of prime importance im sure) is that they want a reminder or they want to 'reamp' the world for the movies.
Its really shitty...
at least they didn't do that thing like they did with 'how to train your dragon' where they put the movie poster on the front cover of the book.
ReplyDeletei got that for the first three books of 'a series of unfortunate events' and it's really hard to find the originals now becuase the rest are all collectors edition. it gets on my nerves and it doesnt look all that fantastic anyway...
yeah, they should have left them the way they were. i've still got all the originals.
btw, they changed the dvd covers as well for most of the earlier movies.

what a seamus...
naaooooooooooooo what's wrong with them.....? why did they have to break it :(
ReplyDeletethey’re violating the cover…. :(
naooo..... :(
yeah the new covers for the movies are coming out for the 'deluxe editions'. Theyve got up to the goblet of fire in the new covers. But it was wierd cos they also re-issued the movie covers just before these deluxe editions aswell....geez.
ReplyDeleteon a side note: the word "geez"? did that come from when people were going to say the lords name in vein and stopped halfway? you know, "JES-(us)!" you kow?
If this is the case, jesus' nickname is now Geez...which is funny cos hius name isnt spelt with G's but its pronounced with g's/geez...hehe
praise to my lord, saviour and ma best pal Geez
thats an unofficial fail by the way....#....4....or maybe #5.
