Harry Potter Month: HP Book Editions

Harry Potter Month is a yearling event taking place in the month of July to coincide with Harry Potter's Birthday. It is hosted by Fatih @GeekyZooGirl and Micheline @ Lunar Rainbows. The plan is to fill the month with everything related to Harry Potter, like themed posts, discussions, re-reading the books and re-watching the movies. All of these things will allow you to earn House-Points towards the House Cup. For more info or to sign up, go here.

I am participating in Harry Potter month and so most of my posts this month will probably be centered around Harry Potter. You have been fairly warned. 

For my first post, I will be showcasing my favorite book editions for the HP series. These are not only American or British editions but any edition I find absolutely gorgeous! Also, obviously I don't know every single edition of the HP series out there, these are just my favorites out of the few that I know.

1. The  American 15th Anniversary Edition Illustrated by Kazu Kibuishi

Just look at these beauties, not to mention the gorgeous box in the box-set

2. New Bloomsbury Children's Edition

These came out last September and are just stunning. I could look at them all day =D. I especially love the Chamber of Secrets cover because I think the phoenix in Basilisk's mouth is just epic!

And here's a spin view!!

3. German Edition
What I really like about the German editions is how you can tell which book is which by jus looking at the covers. You don't need to know German to know the cover with the time-turner is Prisoner of Azkaban, or that the cover with the glass eye is the Goblet of Fire.

4. Hogwarts Wooden Steamer Trunk- Patronus Edition
This isn't official a different edition, but this was just so beautiful I couldn't not put it on here. 

5. Illustrated Edition by Jim Kay

This edition has not yet released yet and only the Philosopher's Stone cover as released, but it is beautiful! It releases on October 6th and one book will be published each year.

Here are some more pictures

Those are my top five favorite editions of this incredible series. What are some of yours because I know there are a lot more beautiful editions out there? Post in the comments or Tweet them at me @kim_notes

Happy Harry Potter reading!
