As someone whose a bit of an artist myself, I’ve really enjoyed the Jim Kay editions. I’m no where near as good as him or any of these artists, not in my opinion anyways, but his artwork is absolutely magical. The MinaLima books are next on my favorites. I just love how much immersive those books are.
Original hardcovers are simply amazing 🤩 🤩. Plus, they introduced the famous Harry Potter font which was afterwards used for the movies! All other later editions are ok, but none of them can beat the originals! I hope they never put them out of print! As for the illustrated editions, I prefer Jim Kay’s over Minalima. In fact, the thing I liked most about Mianlima edition is the cover. I found the scene illustrations inside rather dark and not quite as I pictured them. However, I’m not a big fan of illustrated editions, because even though I love Jim Kay’s artwork, I feel that all the illustrations sort of condition your imagination. That’s another reason why I love the original editions: they feature a discrete and simply amazing illustration at the beginning of each chapter representing the most important content of them, not too much, not too little: just the right amount.
Jonny duddles one is the best, and original looks low quality honestly. Jonny duddle's one has the best art and in my place we only get Jonny duddle one. And everyone loves it the most
It should be noted that the 15th anniversary Kazu set has two versions. The first edition release had a slimmer, tighter box made of better material but it was so tight that it was difficult to put the books back in and impossible if they were read. The box you have is the 2nd version, made of thicker cardboard and has plenty of space for book removal. I personally have a sealed original for display and the newer box for use.
I’m over the moon about the Minalima editions that Scholastic commissioned and really curious how they’re going to deal with the larger books! I think they’ll be wonderful heirlooms. I too have a first printing of the Sorcerer’s stone which is probably my most cherished possession but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a signed copy. 🙊🙈
Awesome collection. At the age of 34 (this year) I finally watched the movies. Loved them. Getting the book set soon. Getting the paperback first and I have found two of the hardbacks at goodwill. Im gonna buy the hardback ones as I find them for only $2 each. Can’t wait to get the book set and eventually all of them in hardcover. Thanks for the video.
Not here to win the giveaway, just here to say that I love how informative your videos can be! They're some of my very favorites! (And your eye makeup is always on point!) 👏👏
Thanks for this overview of the different editions. I did note, at 4:21, the first two books are out of order (I noticed, since the Hogwarts didn’t look quite right).
i can renember it was my 9th birthday and i got the 5th Harry potter for it as it came out in June 21st 2003 and i got my first edition which was the yellow book with the Qhoenix on the front. I had to start readign straight away its one of the memorys i will always renember though i keep going back and reading them again. i rely like the covers off all the USA ones am in Uk i got first edtions and 2014 editions as well.
I know this is near a year old and you probably may not respond, but would you recommend buying the 15th or 20th anniversary collections? Asking as someone who just wants to own all of them with a nice style
Just wondering do you have the deluxe editions of the half blood prince and deathly hallows or just order of the Phoenix? If you do could you make a video please I would love that! I just wish they would have done books 1-4 that would have been amazing!
Maybe I missed it in this video but the version of Sorcer’s Stone I read was a larger hardcover with the original art BUT the art was very washed out. It was nearly black and white but it had a little bit of color. I’ve never seen that version again. Maybe it’s just what some of these hard covers look like under their sleeves?
Hi someone please tell me any info on the German torquiose/mint blue/green collection. Like the exact title of this collection of if I can get them anywhere.
2 channels of harry potter books and neither mention the green hardcover for sorcerers stone, or the collecters editon red gold plated hardcover for chamber of secrets (that i actually have)
This video was amazing I did not know how many different editions of the Harry Potter series there was! The hardback us editions at the beginning of the video the artwork cover was beautiful so I’ve sourced my own for a collection to go with my original series of the book and also looking to get the paperback art cover set thank you for this amazing informative video ❤
Hey hi, sympathies for the moving. That can be tramatic. Hope you are doing well otherwise. I continue to practice my patronus charm to keep the depression at bay. Thanks for all you do.
Hey! I’ll email you when I get a moment. I’ve been so busy at work with 15/17 hour days lately and moving. 😳 . But I’ll reply. Glad you’re doing. Remember you’re fabulous and can handle anything that comes your way 😊
For the love of all things quidditch, dont kill yourself. Double work shift, moving, UA-cam channel. Take all the time you need, i am doing well. Write when you can. Btw. Favorite moment in the books?
just collect the covers you like the most, the only difference is minor changes in text between us and uk versions, me personally i like the 2014 uk covers bcus of how colourful they are
Hey there came across your video and glad I did, but question my daughter loves Harry Potter but for her first box set which one do you recommend she's a teenager and she gave me a hint that she wants a set but I guess not an animated one? I need help or your opinion pls
Hey Need help!! Should I buy hardbacks or paperbacks? I'm planning a mega book haul but I can't decide. If its hardback than I have to reduce the number of books but paperback I can buy many. Help me decide
Heya! It honestly depends on what you’re wanting. I prefer hardcovers bc that’s me. The softcovers are lighter and take up less space and less expensive. The hardcover first editions can still be bought at bookstores but they’re about $30+ a book. You can get a new softcover set for about $50/$75.
Hi! I have a question, is this an international giveaway ? I come from Poland and I would like to take part in it, but I don't know if I can. Ps. You have a great channel! ❤️
My fave is the one illustrated by Jim Kay. I hope I’ll get one or any kind of books, I’m in quarantine and I need books. I badly need books, yeah. I hope somebody will send me. T.T thanks for this video by the way. Ps. I accept old and preloved books. @juju_dimanoza

New subscriber. 8:16 I wanna know how to join big book club and get Harry Potter book club edition books for my self specific because I don’t want to buy book from other people. I wished All the Pretty Books or someone reply my comments❤.
Hi! Thanks for subbing! I’m not sure of big book clubs but I can give you the link to the Harry Potter podcast I cohost www.spreaker.com/show/dialogue-alley
Love your ideas!! Its hard to decide on a favourite as they are all so unique and I LOVE all the different illustrators variations on how they see the characters and how they chose their favourite parts of the books to out on as the front cover!! All the covers are my favourite 😂 IG: georgie_wilson_97 💛

The Childrenbook edition and the one illustrated by Jim Kay are currently my favourites with the castle cover!

My favorite are the illustrated Harry Potter books illustrations by Jim Kay! 📖

I just bought the mary grandpre paperback set! The same box you showed. But the quality of the paper is so cheap compared to my old bloomsburys :(

I just bought the Hufflepuff Book set.

How do you know what edition you have of the US books? Or if if an actual first edition
My favorite cover is that B.E.A. or Book Expo of America edition. I don't need everybody to know what I'm reading
Maybe I missed it in this video but the version of Sorcer’s Stone I read was a larger hardcover with the original art BUT the art was very washed out. It was nearly black and white but it had a little bit of color. I’ve never seen that version again. Maybe it’s just what some of these hard covers look like under their sleeves?

Hi, I have a chamber of secret book club blue boards with the word sorcerer misspelled. Are misspellings worth anything?

I can’t find the hardcover version of this box set 💀
I don't think that edition has a hardcover version
Nice video, helped me to know which one to buy. Ps where did you get the plastic cover for the philosophers stone
Signature edition?
What an interesting video!!! Great info, thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this video ❤
Just wondering, HP books have different editions but are the contents the same with what was written with the original hp books?
Good question! The us and uk books are the same. Some translations have revisions tho to be more in line with the original books.
Jim K’s versions of the books are much more expensive 🥲
They’re about the same as the minalima books. Sometimes you can find them on sale though 😊
does anyone know how rare the deathly hallows silver lettering on the dust jacket (misprint) is?
