Harry Potter Turns 15, Gets Shiny New Paperback Covers

Fifteen? Really? I mean. Wow, those years kind of flew by.

As Harry Potter hits its fifteenth birthday, Entertainment Weekly reports that Scholastic plans to celebrate by re-releasing the series in trade paperback form. A bit of a welcome surprise, however, is all new cover artwork for the novels.

The new artwork will be illustrated by Kabu Kibuishi, the artist behind the Amulet graphic novels.

I do have a fondness for the original covers, but I must say this updated look is quite nice in my eye.
