About Me
- Michele
- Oxford, United Kingdom
- I write and read every day - sometimes I read an entire book a day, sometimes I don't. I did a degree in English and History in the late 90s as a mature student, but I've loved these subjects since my school days. I concentrated on studying First World War literature and history for most of my degree, until I wrote a paper on Harry Potter in my final semester. I've been writing about fantasy fiction (for children and for adults) ever since (although I haven't lost my interest in the First World War.) In January 2007, inspired by David Tennant's performances as the Tenth Doctor, I took up writing "Doctor Who" fan-fiction (and no, I don't intend to try to publish it anywhere except on my Blog. I'm just writing it for fun.) I'm also about to start writing non-fanfiction as well. I have a 'day job' which isn't very well paid, but does keep me in Oxford, the city I love, and is flexible enough to give me time to write. I am a participant in the Amazon Europe S.à r.l. Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk.

I have to agree, the adult version looks better. Still, it doesn't affect the words on the page I suppose, which is the most important thing after all!
True enough. I just hope she doesn't "do a Frodo" on Harry and make him a permanent Muggle ! That would result in me shredding the book and sending it to JKR via Bloomsbury !
I've always liked (and bought) the British children's covers too, but this one seems lighter in tone compared to the other books, even with the sombre black edges. I can imagine the drawing on a humorous fantasy like Pratchett.
Exactly it looks like a Paul Kidby cover to a Pratchett novel and I don't like them. I've always loved the late, much-missed Josh Kirby's covers for the Discworld novels and find Kidby's covers don't work for me at all. Harry Potter should not look like a Discworld novel and that black border is just intimidating.
Sorry !
