You are american? Because your voice look like someone from Brazil, speaking english, THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM. I love your videos❣️
@@supremophm9910 Bingo ;)
@@BookCravings the illustrated edition by Jim Kay you showed, is that published by Bloomsbury UK or Scholastic US? I hear they’re different.
My collection has only the 7 books (non of them is repeated), mixing the 1st american standard and deluxe edition, the illustrated edition, the 20th anniversary Slytherin edition, and slip case edition.
I love the German 20th anniversary editions. They're just so beautiful! Like a Barnes and Noble collectible.
My favorite is the first American hardcover edition. I love the cover designs, and the high quality paper and binding is extremely durable.
I can attest to this I bought mine when they came out and 20 years later they’re still beautiful even after like a million reads
I disagree about the beauty of the covers. They've got a nostalgic feeling if you're from the US, but if not, they're not very pretty. The US covers of SS, CoS & PoA are awful. They get a little better since GoF.
The 2014 UK covers aren't perfect, but they're certainly more beautiful and detailed.
You guys suck. People who live hardcover suck. It's so costly. But softcover! Not hardcover. Waste of money. And you guys buy books for cover or to read? Books aren't supposed to be hardcover. And good people like normal books they don't judge or like only hardcover. A book is a book
Very true. I have the original US paperbacks and I’ve had them for over 12 years. Although the spines are broken from reading, the bindings are still holding up. I haven’t had the need to buy new editions because these work just fine when rereading.
@@dannyjorde2677 which ones have the best paper quality in your opinion?
I was thinking about starting to collect the illustrated editions and you totally convinced me! Thanks for this video.
I grew up with the first Italian edition, and now I'm buying the English Ravenclaw edition in softback! I love how the covers feel and the alternating colors in the softback version, although the hard back is a bit fancier.
I loved the last book, with all the magnificent illustrations perfectly drawn to help us picture the images, J K Rowling had conveyed in words, better for people who may not be as imaginative as I am. But the first book that was sbown in the video, the one published by Bloomsbury, will always have a special in my heart. Personally, they do have one of the best cover arts and spines compared to the other edition of Harry Potter and make an excellent choice for a showcase on the bookshelves. But this edition by Bloomsbury will always be special to me, because I did my first read of this spectacular series on it. It was dirt cheap at the time, at least I think it was, only 40$ for the box set and when I got home and sat down and read it, I couldn't have put it down. I was obsessed with it and I finished the whole series in a matter of only 3 weeks, amazingly fast considering it usually takes me 3 weeks to just finish one book. But this series has helped me in kickstarting my love for books and in a way I feel heavily connected to these Bloomsbury published editions in particular. Don't know why I had to say all this but I guess I went on a bit of a tangent hahahaa.
Very useful that you made a comparable presentation with all the editions,showing us the illustations,the type writing,and each book's bound! It really helped me,because i was a bit confused...
I like the simple house edition design, and I never had a harry potter book before as I always took them from a library I bought them.
Thank you! This is very helpful. Sewn bindings are so important.
Great video! Would love to see an evaluation of other editions too. A nice add would be to mention where the books were printed.
I have the paperback,but i guess it's fine
For sure
I got the Harry Potter children's edition.Those books looks really beautiful.If you fight with those books and use it carefully it won't cause any damage.
Thanks for reviewing several versions of Harry Potter.
Thanks for your video. I wonder if you can review the Minalima edition too. Thanks!
Hi, nice video. I hope they release the next parts as well
this is the main problem with BLOOMSBURY publication. I have hardcovers of kite runner and the thousand splendid suns. bindings in both books are stiff. so I always buy US edition. I have fountainhead hardcover US edition. this book has glued binding, but still, the book remains flat.
My favourite is the illustrated editions, I have them
Thank you for actually taking the time to compare the editions; many just fixate on one. Please also review the house editions(both paperback and hardcover) and compare them with these. (Also if it's worth it to buy the premium priced deluxe illustrated edtion?)
chechsman I would love to buy the deluxe illustrated editions. They are definitely the best.
The deluxe illustrated editions are absolutely worth it! Stunning books!
I have the Illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorceress (Philosophers) stone and it’s not deluxe what makes it so special about the deluxe edition?
@@lmn0005 The deluxe editions are huge books, cloth bound in a slipcase. Very luxurious. The inside is the same as the normal illustrated editions, but they do come with a print of Diagon Alley. They are true collector items. She shows a picture of one on screen at 4:22.
I've never read Harry potter before, and was thinking of finally buying the books and fixing this mistake :) This video is very helpful, I'll go with your recommendation and get the illustrated editions
I'm glad I could help! Harry Potter is delightful. I hope you like it!
Going to read Harry Potter and buying the illustrated version first ... guess you’ll be waiting book to book like when they first came out in regular print
Oversize books can easily be customized with vinyl gold foiling. And they have nicer paper I think reflective only in full page illustrations. Smart choice as always. The other one is for collectors who would sell it some day.
Good. Wanna buy some of them.
Nice, last month I got the jim kay version with the order of the phoenix and right now I'm reading the chamber of secrets
Hello!
Thanks for the video 😊
What do you think about the 20th anniversary edition?
Cheers!
They are lovely as well
Now MinaLima has arrived with their own illustrated editions to kick the ass of the rest 😂
I have a video on them :)
Off topic. Did you hear that the Folio Society Christmas collection will be released on October 17? Is there any special titles you are hoping for? I really want some books from Elizabeth Gaskell and maybe the children classic A little princess..
Natalie Broweus that would be great!! Anne Bronte is the one I’m hoping for:)
Yes! I really want some gorgeous editions of Villette, Shirley and The tenant of Windfell Hall. I don’t know which Bronte sister wrote which though...I can never remember to keep them apart..
I agree that the Illustrated Edition is by far the best. But it'll take a few more years before a full set can be acquired as so far only years one through four have been made available with year five getting released next year.
Why would you need a same book which you already have
0:40 You can find that edition in hardcover version, though
Tbh I might get the second hardcover just for how it looks, probably wont read it!
My favorites are the original American hardbacks and the new illustrated ones. I dont find any other sets appealing.
Is there a pocket sized edition of the books, like with LOTR? If there is, I can't find it.
1st one is my favorite
The gift edition you're holding with the purple box and orange book isn't glued binding. I'm into omnibus collecting and can assure you that's sewn binding, thus the shape of an "eye" when you open it, as seen at 3:22 in your video. Glued binding makes it so that the pages don't pull away from the spine, which creates gutter loss.
100% glued binding. There aren’t signatures. Mine is glued, without a doubt. Maybe they changed it...
I happily own the whole set of those gift editions..
And mine are all sewn except the first one, which is glued. It was a happy surprise, because before buying them I read comments like the one given here. I couldn't resist a discount and bought the chamber of secrets, for me it was an important issue to have found out that it was sewn, then ended up buying them all.
I don't understand why the philosopher's stone is the only one glued, but the rest are good bindings. Very happy with them, they look nice on the shelf and are more suitable for holding the book while reading it..
They haven't got signatures, I believe you've been hit by a confundus charm
All editions are great, thanks for the video.
Greetings from Spain
I just bought online Bloomsbury hardcover childrens edition in the red dragon boxset and i am very disappointed. I asked several people here on youtube that have if the quality is good especially the glued pages. The said yes. However they are horrible, glue is coming apart even as they are brand new and certain passages as you showed the glue is unesthetically showing but much worse that the example you showed. Money out the window. I am from Slovakia and I have never seen such bad binding, many books used to be sewed perfectly. Can you recommend any Harry Potter edition that has sewed binding ( apart from illustrated one?)? I aim for durability.
Aneta mišíková oh that’s terrible! The only sewn edition I know is the illustrated one. Nowadays I feel the same about my glued copies. A complete waste of money...
That's terrible.. but honestly, I hav the bloomsbury edition (illustrated by Johnny Duddle) and they're actly fine...and different from the philosopher stone copy in this video. mine looks durable and well attached🙂
You guys are weird. A book is a book. Why does it matter. Read whatever and however it is. Don't complain like a kid. And you got a default one . Cause in India everyone only buys Bloomsbury edition. And here no one cares for edition stuff and all. No one cares for covers. We just read. And whatever you told isn't true. Cause that is the best edition. And I hate hardcover wastage of paper and wood even more. Cause It's just fine
@@supersaiyangoku7547 so maybe you have a 100 eur to waste but I unfortunately dont. Thats a lot of money and those books did last one single reading - is that what you would be happy about, new expensive books falling apart? Why does it matter? Because that is 50 hours of work to buy those books. I expected them in normal condition- aka like a new book.
I just got the illustrated version and they’re great. However it’s my first time reading the HP series and all the illustrated versions are not yet released lol. So I’ll have to buy some cheaper paperbacks soon just to finish the story.
I hope you have a great time reading it!
@@BookCravings thank you and your review is honest and thorough 😄
Oh hey! I have a recommendation! If you loved illustrated version and are thinking of buying it when the rest of the series is released then don't waste your money on other versions. Maybe get a pdf but don't waste money on the same book. Not to sound rude or anything, just a suggestion. Hope you will love the rest of the series
@@vrushalithorat4528 I’m not buying the same book. I’m buying others to finish the series.
Hi guys! Does anyone know what is the significant difference between Jim Kay's illustrated editions, the one presented on video and deluxe slipcase edition? Size, number of illustrations?
Not al all
@@BookCravings thank you)
RIP spine 😭😭😭
it survived ;)
Didn't Hagrid tell us all to stroke the spine?
@@Cahos_Rahne_Veloza oh yeah
@@Cahos_Rahne_Veloza nyah I belted mine shut. Don't wanna risk it
My favourite edition is the jonny duddle U.K edition
What's the difference between normal one's and illustrated one's?and is it mentioned on the cover that it is one?
they have the same text
Do the newer editions have added content to them or are all the editions the same in content?
Same content
@@BookCravings thanks
hello anybody can help me out so my book the gold letering has faded and i have no idea how to fix it i searched up on yt and found nothing related has it happen to u? it the first one shown
I didn't understand the why of glued spin was a bad thing, they have to glue the spin with something, isn't it?
Luan de Souza sewn spines are much more durable and usually very flexible. A sewn spine allows the book to lay flat open over a table without you needing to force it open... just to give you an example. So, when I buy collectible books that are a bit more expensive I prefer them to be at least smith-sewn. Nothing against paperpacks and cheaper editions, but when it comes to special editons I hate when the spine is glued because it means inferior quality (the publisher is obviously saving money and selling a cheaper book as a “special” editon).
Guys can anyone please tell me if there is any difference in the content ? Cuz I ordered a collection and one of the books was from another collection... but there will be no difference I the content..right?
A question ... i think i once heared the illustrated one is 4 books ... is it complete ?
There is only 4 harry potter book illustrated. Jim Key is working on the 5th one now
I think the new adult editions are my favourite
The ones with the black and white covers or the ones with bright coloured covers?
You broke the spine😭😭😭
I know that upsets me too.
Why the bias against the paperback
@@aminmecci2441 Hardbacks are usually more durable. But I have nothing "against" paperbacks. Actually I have lots of them lol
@@_xcchxrlxttx_ didn’t hagrid told us to stroke the spine
Fun fact, Bloomsbury is the original publishing birthplace of Harry Potter
Hey
Can you tell me about binding of slipcase(gift) edition ??
It is very stiff and unfortunately it is glued.
@@BookCravings ok..
It only happens with the philosopher's stone...the the rest are simply... perfect and sewn of course
i have the schoolastic paperback collection
I hate glued spines, thanks for the info 😊
I believe there is some misinformation here.
I have the gift slipcase edition, and, except HP and the philosopher's stone, all of them are sewn.
I don’t know why you’re disappointed with the binding of the Scholastic American hardcover editions. You say it’s “glued” but it actually looks sewn.
It’s glued
I have a flip through video on my channel of the illustrated edition. They are my favourite.
Could you recommend an edition with a good quality spine?
The Jim Kay illustrated edition
@@BookCravings Do you have a recommendation for a good quality spine set other than the Jim Kay ones? Personally, the Jim Kay ones are just too big.
Minalima or Jim Kay editions? Which one is better?
I prefer the Jim Kay eds
Yaaaaaaaaayy
I WANT TO BUY THE ILLUSTRATED ONE BUT I AM NOT TO FIND ALL OF THEM THERE ARE ONLY 4 BOOKS BUT I WANT ALL.....CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND ALL OF THEM...PLZ REPLY
The collection is not complete yet. They era releasing them gradually.
@@BookCravings TILL THEN WHICH BOOK I SHOULD GO FOR?
I recommend you to get the first four books and wait for the release of the rest of the illustrated collection.
Greetings from Ukraine !
Can i aks you about the quality of paper in illustrated editions ? Is it an acid-free ? I cant find this information anywhere. I know it is FSC-certified, but that doesn't means it's actually acid-free. It also has different publishers, Bloomsbury and Scholastic, is there any difference in quality ?
Thank you for your reviews, its much more informative then most part of the others)
Hi!! The Illustrated editions have great quality coated paper. They are absolutely perfect. I think they have different publishers in US and UK. As far as I know, the only difference is the text using American English and British English. They don’t state the paper is acid free, but considering how they look now in my shelves I believe they are.
Is the content in each book is the same?
Yes
Is that scholastic Harry Potter book is best
Pls reply
Hi!!! I need help, i want to buy them, but idk because now there are a children's editon hardcover ( they are gorgeous and the box too), the american editon ( I like the box) and the ilustred collection now is cheaper than before, had 4 books but i want to read all of them ( Idk to much british because i'm latina and we learn more about US but idc about that)
The illustrated editions are the best.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ GREAT VIDEO
Thanks!
Parece brasileira
Criticises stuff spines fire being unreadable (fair) to then go on to recommend giant editions seems odd to me. I guess she’s happy to read on a desk only. I certainly wouldn’t be reading those on the train.
So disappointed to learn that the slipcased editions are glued. I really love slipcases and was thinking of getting those, but now I won’t.
It’s very disappointing…
Only HP philosopher's stone is glued. The rest are sewn...
Your accent is something
Nice accent. Sounds like from Brazil.
