His hair is as dark as a blackboard.
I wish he was mine, he's really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.”

Very fun!
Yes, what an amazing variety. And you can see a style that might be associated with each country, too.
A couple of interesting things: Only the Ukrainian versions have the text in that language; the rest have "Harry Potter" at least somewhere on the cover.
And the German version includes "Joanne K." instead of just "J.K."
Good observations!
What a treat! I enjoyed seeing what story element the illustrators/designers in different countries chose to highlight. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Tabatha. Julia and I had a great time looking at these covers. We're looking forward to a trip to Harry Potter world this spring.
