Cover Love: Harry Potter Redesigns

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Holly

If I had actually started using my new Tumblr account I would just reblog this, but instead here’s a quick post. Illustrator and freelance designer M.S. Corley created these fantastic Penguin Classics-inspired covers:

*LOVE* *dies from beauty*

Thanks to Angie and Chachic for the headsup.

    LOL you should start using your Tumblr account! I really hope they publish editions of Harry Potter with these covers, would love to have copies.

      Lol, I’m so swamped right now but I will get to it sooner or later.

      Me too! Just doing my part to help them get exposure so we can buy them one day. :)

    I loved the first cover! The other ones were nice as well but the first one was great!

      I really like the first one, two. If I could only but one I would buy that one. In general the first three are nice.

    I think this is one of those cases where things in a collection look great but individually, I’m not so in love. I like the first cover and maybe the second. Definitely must get them all together for the full effect.

      Sorry, I reread that and it came off harsher than I meant. I meant I like it as a collection and would buy them together, not individually.

        No worries, it didn’t sound too harsh to me. I completely understand what you’re saying. That’s probably why I had to post the complete set rather than referring to the link. I think the cover for the first book stands the best on it’s own. Just the fact that he used a rainbow color sequence probably means his design concept was based on the collective rather than on each individual cover.

    I’m not so crazy about 4 & 6 – but like you’ve already discussed, as a collection they are very striking. Definitely different and original from all the other covers!
