Harry Potter's New Look

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Scholastic is re-releasing the seven books with new cover art by Kazu Kibushi, the illustrator behind the Amulet series. Take a look--the first two have already been released:

Kibushi at first turned down the offer to illustrate the new covers. He told Scholastic, "When I was asked to submit samples, I initially hesitated because I didn't want to see them reinterpreted! However, I felt that if I were to handle the project, I could bring something to it that many other designers and illustrators probably couldn't, and that was that I was also a writer of my own series of middle grade fiction." He also said that he wanted the new covers to look as though they could stand the test of time.
