@@ThePotterCollector Hey man.. What would you recommend between Harry Potter adult covers and Scholastic hardcovers ? I'm very much confused between these two ? Which one to buy? Please help.
I love how you’re trying to make connections to some of the craziness. “The tiger makes sense because Crookshanks is described as having stripes.” Haha! These are nuts.
Megan Mckinnon Haha! The Danish translation of PoA has a tiger on the back cover as well. 😄 Probably a translation thing? It’s just too funny to imagine Hermione with a tiger.
@@ThePotterCollector That can't be the Danish version, it doesn't have Crookshanks on it. Maybe Swedish or Norwegian version? Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰⚡
I think the artist was drunk, high, and heavily in love, and slapped these covers together with a big grin on his face, in a big hurry to go see his girl. 😂 They are the best!
Drinking is forbidden in Iran... I think the only computer that this artist had, had a Windows 95 on it. He did this design by Microsoft Paint on Windows 95... 😂😂
It’s almost like someone got an inaccurate plot summary of the books, and then was told to create a cover representing everything from the plot, only using free pictures from google.
Hi. Just wanted to let everyone know that the first and third book boy is actually part of a ripoff hindi movie of Harry Potter. I can't believe that they used that boy instead of Daniel Radcliffe
Those are amazing in their weirdness, it’s like someone kinda knew what the books were about, and kinda knew how to use clip art. Reminds me of something I saw a few years back where people were trying to recreate movie posters and such using only the basic Microsoft clip art package.
Some of them are 100% don’t judge a book by its cover. It’s not what the outside is, it’s what’s inside that counts. It’s still HP which we all love. Would love to read a mashup of Jurassic part and HP that would truly be entertaining. These covers made my day.
Some of the unauthorized books reminds me of Simpson’s when homer dressed his pig up in glasses and gave him a lightning bolt scar and called him Harry Plopper lmao.😂😂
I'm an Iranian Potterhead and these are the first books that I bought with my own allowance many years ago, so these books are my babies but even to this day I look at the covers and go what in the actual hell?! 🤣🤣🤣
Although it's funny and wacky, I REALLY dislike these covers. They're all missing something about the normal covers. I feel like they dishonored the Harry Potter universe by doing that... I'm sorry that I sound like a salty butthead but I'm just venting how I feel about it.
I am absolutely LOVING the Philosopher's Stone cover. I started dying laughing at it and I couldn't stop laughing for a good minute, it's just so wacky. I love it. I'm also loving the Order of the Pheonix third part cover. That's another that I started dying laughing at.
I know about 4 different Farsi translations but only this one is available now . Sadly I have the second edition with "normal" covers. I read this translation and it is normal and not as wacky as I expected but edited to meet their cultural standarts .I really want to buy them but can not find any for reasonable prince . You must see their Witcher books ,they used arts from games for cover and of course picture of Henry Cavil .
The Harry and Hermione on the first part of Order of the Phoenix's cover could've been used on the cover for the first book! Also, those illustrations are by Mark Braught and they were used for merchandising before the movies came out and even during the movies.
Love your videos! Thank you for adding to my already enormous amount of Harry Potter knowledge! I will be going to the Wizarding world of Harry Potter in August or September! I might see you there!
Oh my God! I'm Iranian and I have been looking for this video for a long time! This is an older version of the book. Now people mostly buy the version which doesn't have any picture on the cover. (I think you also have that one) but you can still buy this version from the stores. And although I think they've changed it now but in the last printings of this book they had spelled Hermione like "her.mi.on" but after J.k Rowling talking about it and correcting people I guess they changed it in the edition you have.😂😂 BTW Thanks for posting this!😆😆😆
Yeah they're odd but those "artwork" are misguiding the reader so i'm not ok with this, if you don't have a professional artist then use the same artwork from Uk or US for all the books and not just the last ones, just like we've seen in many translations editions that you showed us. This edition is just LAME!
These are for over ten years ago, idk how much you know about Iran or it’s government but back then they probably weren’t allowed to use the us version and probably whatever a talented artist came up with was denied, the fact that there were books published about magic and christian magicians is astonishing on it’s own, as time went on they went easier on the rules and let the covers be what they were supposed to be, like I remember I was surprised when I got to the last book and saw that Hermione was on the cover, cause she’s a girl and she didn’t have a hijab. I agree that the covers are bizarre but honestly I just appreciate that whoever was behind publishing pushed and tried enough to get these books published.
So um in conclusion I think they weren’t allowed to create original artwork or the US or UK artwork so they just threw on whatever looked magical to get the kids interested in them
Im actually from iran and ive seen these books upclose ( tough ive read the originals) and they are creepy af but we have some new versions out which are less "odd"
These crazy books are my first harry potter books, and back in the time I used to hate them since they were not related to the story and I hated the dinosaurs the most but now that they are out of print I really love these since they reminde me of my teenage years and becoming a potterhead :))
hey petter love your videos, actually just finished all 49 of your wizarding world of harry potter vids. have never got to go but hoping to once this pandemic is over. also was wondering how you know what house you are in. is it like a online quiz of do u just chose? thanks for all the great videos and for any advice you can give.
Can you tell me where I can find a whole book set of harry potter (authorized ) and also cheap...(20-25usd ..or less)..I dont owe any but wanna have the full book set and read them...only sean movies yet😅
Ok seeing the Persian covers in an English youtube video is confusing me, it’s like my two worlds colliding To give some context: the guy running away is uncle Vernon I think, the grim reaper is not a thing in Persian culture so I think that’s actually Quirrell wearing a hood. The rest of them I have no idea😂😂😂 Growing up my favorites were chamber of secrets and deathly hallows
I would agree with what you have chosen goblet of Fire is the craziest one. Also I think the boy they are using in book one and three is the boy from the Little Vampire. He looks very similar to him.
Hi Peter! I just recently subscribed and I was wondering (perhaps you already answered this but I couldn't find in the videos!), do you still have your original hp books you first read? Which edition were they? Maybe someone else in the comments have the answer?? Love your videos! xx
Hi Peter hope, you are safe from covid 19 . I like all your video's and this is my first comment on potter Collector channel and your today's video is fun to watch. Keep collecting
Look I am a persian and believe it or not, these crazy books were the best translation in my country. Me and all my potterhead friends have hated the covers. I can make an video and talk about them hours and hours. I remember the time when the publication decided to translate the spells in the goblet of fire and as you guess it didn't work and in next editions they reversed to the original words. 😧😳
It was very interesting!!! I was wondering how do i get a hold of the UK versions of the books? I have the US and would love to have them in the original print. It does not have to be first edition or anything. I just would like to have a set.
Ok I'm going to rewatch goblet of fire and I'm going to see if lex and Tim are hiding between the rocks in the first task 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHA!
Lol

Niller There is a tiger on the back cover of the Danish paperback of Prisoner of Azkaban by Per O Jorgensen.
@@ThePotterCollector Oh I didn't know, I own the hardback versions🤦♂️Well now I know🙂
I was thinking the same thing. Stripes=tiger. Bit of a stretch, but ok!
DUDE MAKE A VIDEO PURELY ON UNAUTHORIZED HARRY POTTER BOOKS.
Include unauthorized merch, too! Even funnier... buy the knockoffs!
I think the artist was drunk, high, and heavily in love, and slapped these covers together with a big grin on his face, in a big hurry to go see his girl. 😂 They are the best!
Lol
lol 😂😂😂😂
Drinking is a crime in iran which will get u a 1-5 year sentence
Drinking is forbidden in Iran...
I think the only computer that this artist had, had a Windows 95 on it. He did this design by Microsoft Paint on Windows 95... 😂😂

ruchika jha 🙏 thanks
Wow really? what's the name of the movie?
Shreenidhish, The Gajirva Abra ka Dabra and Harri Putter
Himanshu Thakur lol
Never saw that movie
Its like Window's 95 clipart and 1980s book cover art had a baby... lol
So true
I am iranian and i really hate this covers. When I was a kid, I tried so many time to understand the covers😂
I am iranian and me and my frinds still dont get it.
Does it say dragons in the text for GOF or did it get translated into dinosaurs? :-)
Dinky Whippet Great question!
@@ThePotterCollector do you think the fist one might be quirrel running away from voldemort
@@TheSplashchannel1 no, the translation is correct. it's just the cover.
@@TheSplashchannel1 no the translation is correct
These books are just crazy haha! Jurassic Park?!
This is weird but cool. Even though some covers creeped me out a little.
Someone might have said this but the “Harry” on books 1 & 3 look like johnathan lipnicki when he was in Little Vampire....
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Exactly what I was thinking
Those are amazing in their weirdness, it’s like someone kinda knew what the books were about, and kinda knew how to use clip art.
Reminds me of something I saw a few years back where people were trying to recreate movie posters and such using only the basic Microsoft clip art package.
Haha so true!
I love all these covers . The wildest is with the Jurassic Park . But I also still love them so much
“and then harry potter has gone blonde”
Haha
Did they forget to erase "Bloomsbury" at the bottom of the cover on the last part of Deathly Hallows? LOL
Yeah 😂
Some of them are 100% don’t judge a book by its cover. It’s not what the outside is, it’s what’s inside that counts. It’s still HP which we all love.

The boy on the Chamber of Secrets is from Jerry Tiritilli. He illustrated the book the pagemaster which is also a lovely book

Van Hohenheim I agree tho
Do you have the Italian HP books? J.K. Rowling thought of them as the oddest.
The Harry Potter and Jurassic park crossover!! I love it. That needs to happen.
That first sentence got me very confused. 🤣 (RANDOM QUESTION ALERT) What type of music do you like to listen
Rock and jazz
I am absolutely LOVING the Philosopher's Stone cover. I started dying laughing at it and I couldn't stop laughing for a good minute, it's just so wacky. I love it.
I'm also loving the Order of the Pheonix third part cover. That's another that I started dying laughing at.
Idk what’s funnier, the actual cover or your reactions LMAO these are great

I just don't understand how they weren't sued!!! So fun though!!
You can't. We don't have copyright laws . ( horrible, I know )
Actualy it is because these is no copyright law in Iran and we live somewhere you just hear about it in the news😉

Oh wow 🦕 and Snow White lol too funny - these are fantastic 😂
Hello!! Love Your Videos!
the goblet of fire cover had me dying. this was hilarious oh my god
The picture of the blond boy on the chamber of secrets cover is taken directly from one of my favorite children's books- The Pagemaster!
For some reason they remind me of those nonsensical bootleg Yu-Gi-Oh cards and I'm loving it
The goblet of fire is my favorite! I LOVE dinosaurs, and the Jurassic Park series. I want that book just for the cover
Love your videos! Thank you for adding to my already enormous amount of Harry Potter knowledge! I will be going to the Wizarding world of Harry Potter in August or September! I might see you there!

Yay another Potter Collector video 😁
I would love to hear JKs thoughts on the authorized cover
I bet she has them.
I've just watched you struggling to make sense out of this crazy covers for ten minutes and I honestly loved every second of it
I am Harry Potter big fan
💙 hp!
Hi Harry Potter I’m dad.
Inesa Charkhchyan Hello Harry Potter big fan, I’m Joe
Joseph Fawcett hello Joe xd
Cobi Burnett hello dad
LOL. The publisher afterwards gets bored of photoshoping and copies the front covers. But good initiative. I hope the stories remained same.
I think the dude running in the first book it’s Peeves ...
Where did you get the Harry Potter Peter Pan book? Those are my two favorite worlds mashed together!!!
Probably eBay
Anyone else think that lex and Tim should have fought the dinosaurs with wands??👌😆😂
I swear the guy used to represent Harry in the Chamber of Secrets is Harry and Draco's child😂😂😂😂
The intro got me laughing lol
🤣 I have no words. Just laughing....lots of laughing.
I don't remember seeing Lex and Tim in the Goblet of Fire..or reading about them in the book. Lol so funny.
this is so much fun😂❤️❤️
I love your all video's
Hahaha this video is awesome, love you Peter!!!

Dinosaurus are Muggle dragons LOL

For the Order of the Phoenix part 3 the "monk" might be Trelawney?
These books are crazy but also cool. The goblet of fire and the order of the phoenix covers are the craziest for me.
I really love your channel! When do you plan on making another giveaway?
Some of these remind me of when I'd do book reports on books I didn't even read only read the synopsis on. Haha!
LOL
i love this channel! this is great content!!

As always an awesome video!! Thank you for being one of the people who inspired me to start my own channel! 🎊
Jurassic Park and Snow White!!!I think Harry Potter, Jurassic Park and Disney are making collaboration.😄
Ooh this the earliest I’ve been to a potter collector video :)))
You rock Peter!
Also, were there updated covers made later on or are these the only covers that are still used even today?
I am from iran too and these covers always make me laugh . Good job. Please review 20th anniversary thai edition too
The cover art is so creative I love it ❤️
oh my goodness they are so unique, fun and odd :)
Wait! You don’t remember Harry battling a T-Rex?
HAHA
You should do an overview of all the season passes offered at universal studios and why you chose the preferred etc.
Acquiring this Goblet of Fire/Jurassic Park edition is now my absolute collecting goal 😂
Can you tell me where I can find a whole book set of harry potter (authorized ) and also cheap...(20-25usd ..or less)..I dont owe any but wanna have the full book set and read them...only sean movies yet😅
I have never seen them but honestly I agree with you about book 4 and 1
Love your vids stay safe
