New Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Cover Art Revealed

Scholastic 02

Scholastic announced earlier in the year that the company was going to release brand new editions of the entire Harry Potter saga that are poised to hit the store shelves in August. The company has been generating significant buzz surrounding the cover art created by award winning artist Kazu Kibuishi. Today at Book Expo America, the artist and Ellie Berger, President of Scholastic Trade Publishing, Arthur A. Levine unveiled the new cover art.

The new cover for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets features the flying car that Harry and Ron rode to Hogwarts. In the background is the Weasley family home and many people are considering this art to be the best ever done for the franchise. Subsequent cover art will be revealed during the next few months for the remainder of the books.

The entire Harry Potter book franchise is thought to have garnered over $7,743,000,000 in sales as of late 2012. The launch of Pottermore last year has finally given people the ability to download the digital ebook editions. Scholastic has informed us that the new cover art would only be applicable to the North American Trade versions and the ebook art will not change.
