As a Finn, I'm not a big fan of these covers, but they're pretty iconic! After I got the last book, new covers started to be more common and they look STUNNING! I was at first sad that I had the old weird ones, but now I'm glad I have them🥰
Thank you for the video and greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮 It was fun to hear your thoughts about these book covers (although I also prefer the newer ones). The translations into Finnish are excellent indeed 👍
The grave says different letters, because in Suomi Tom Riddle is “Tom Valedro”. The same is with the locket. R.A.M. because it’s not “Black” but “Musta” in Suomi. I like how in different languages they adapt some names. (I don’t know Suomi, I just googled, so if i’m wrong, please, correct me!) P.S. it’s Griphook on Deathly Hallows! with a bag full of gold
How would you like it if you went somewhere and they said "Maria in our language is Zetiboo. So your name is Zetiboo from now on" I think the translaters should respect the character names
@@lazyhomebody1356 Except that no, in Harry Potter, the names have a meaning, so since the books are aimed at children, it's better to help them understand this meaning Also, for the very specific case of Tom Riddle, you HAVE to translate his name to something that does "I am Lord Voldemort" in the language In french for example, most of the character names were left as they were, but Tom Riddle became Tom Elvis Jedusor (which is a super awesome translation, Jedusor meaning something like "destiny's toy", I love it ^^)
Great to see a video from Finnish translations, thank you! On Order of the Pheonix, I think the person on the down left corner is Sirius, as he has dog ears. On Chamber of Secrets cover the two people on the background are Lucius and Draco Malfoy. And I've always thought the structure on the top right corner of Deathly Hallows is the top of the tent the trio was camping in. And, like others have mentioned, the person on the back of Deathly Hallows is supposed to be Griphook or some other goblin. And did you notice, there something that looks suspiciously like a rat tail hanging from Crookshank's mouth on the back cover of Prisoner of Azkaban. This reeeally through me off as I kid when I was first reading the books, that detail in the cover made me 100% sure Crookshanks really did eat Scabbers! Personally I've never been a too big fan of this cover art (I'm Finnish), but, as you said, it's truly unique!
I don't think these are in print anymore. Nowadays the Finnish translations are sold with the newer international covers or the Minalima illustrated versions.
The artwork is very interesting. It reminds me of old fairy tale type books. I’m kind of a stickler for things to be correct, especially with HP. The scarfs didn’t show house colors. . The Malfoy’s didn’t have white blonde hair, etc..I think it leaves too much room for speculation on who the characters really are.
I think those are the Malfoys in book 2 and Lucius Malfoy was holding Tom Riddle's diary. In book 5, I think it was Sirius Black in his half-animagus form below James Potter. The character at the back of book 7 is probably Griphook, the goblin who helped them to infiltrate Gringotts. Thanks for the great videos as always, Peter! Keep them coming.
Hello from Finland!🇫🇮 Tammi isn't a woman's name. It means oak and it's the name of the place they printed the books in. Don't know what inspired the big noses...
Looking into Mika Launis's portfolio, I'd say the prominent noses are his style of illustrating - could find other books with his art and there are some big noses on those too :)
You are by far one of the greatest Wizarding World collectors that I have seen. You guys really know your stuff and I will continue to watch your channel. Thank you for giving me something to do when I need a Break.
I think the fifth is my favorite because I like the attention to detail and we don’t always see the pensive scene on that. Also, it really shows how much James and Harry look alike.
Hi! On the seventh book, if I'm not mistaken, the person is supposed to be Rufus Scrimgeour.. He is holding a bag that contains the artifacts from Dumbledores will.. Also the thing in the corner of the front cover is the tent that the golden trio travels in while looking for the horcruxes.
7:20 You're forgetting that when your name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, you're under a binding magical contract to see the Tournament through to the end. So there's no backing out of it and Tammi's parents cannot pull her out of it...
Books!! I’m so glad to see a videos about books again. They are the videos I always make sure to watch. Love seeing a whole set (1-7) of different covers. Please do some more on different translations?
Hello from Finland! I grew up with these :) And I also have the first three books with the pre-movie font! Edit. In the fifth book cover, that's not Lily, it's Sirius.
I was expecting not to like these, esp since the Malfoys don't even have blond hair. But I LOVE these covers. My favorites are Gilderoy Lockhart, and Scabbers' tail hanging out of Cruikshanks' mouth
Nvr clicked so fast! I love Finland it’s very special to me!🤍💙🇫🇮 And i love most of there metalbands and i played 12 years guitar with alot of metal🥰 I love the country and the snow and winter and autumn seasons there wich means aurora season💚 And the Finnish are unique, I just love that country ive bein to lapland and my fav animals are reindeers❤️🦌 And i just love Finland and it’s my happy place❤️🇫🇮 But the covers are very cool and unique and magical looking😊Thats what i love about Finland they think differently😉
Great video, more like this please. Your enthusiasm for the books is lovely. I'm all about the books not the films so much. I wish things were more book related than the films.
Hi Peter! Love the artwork on these books! I think it’s clever and fun to find Tammi in the artwork. My favorite book of these set is the Prisoner of Azkaban. The Deathly Hallows back cover artwork reminds me of the goblin at Gringotts, perhaps it could be Griphook? What gave it a way to me was the hands on the Gringotts bag. Thank you for sharing Peter!
Hi, can you recommend any finnish web site to search for this edition? I've been looking for it for a while now but I can't find them... Thanks in advance for any help!
Oh my god my country! When I was young I was so confused by those covers and long noses. :D it's so nice to hear "professional" opinion of those! I have attended to couple of events where the translator of Finnish books has been but I haven't hear anything about the illustrator of the covers before. Ps. You might need few more Finnish language lessons but good try! 😉
On the Prisoner of Azkaban, Crookshanks has Scabbers in her mouth lol the tail is sticking out! And I think Griphook is on the back of the Deathly Hallows
I think those 2 people on book 2 are Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. Lucius is holding the diary he will slip to Ginny. On book 7 the upper right corner might be the room of requirement behind a tapestry, with diadem flying out, and smoke from fiend fire. Not sure why it shows trees. On the back it looks like a goblin with pointed ears and holding a money bag. Maybe it's Griphook.
The artwork is definitely different and whimsical. Love Hedwig,.of course! You're right...that toad-faced professor is straight up nightmare material. XD
Hey Peter, glad if you did not have the experience with Abe Books sending books damaged but a couple time in the past when I was dealing with Them that is what I got. I had no idea that the Country of Finland had so many large nosed people.
Never realized how valuable these books have truly become. Just come across an article about a 'first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' which was bought for £12.99 and sold for nearly £70,000 at auction in the UK. I was gobsmacked when I read that then I came across another article where a 'first edition Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone' book sold for a record $471,000 at auction. These figures are mind blowing!!! No wonder Peter has stored his rarest books at an undisclosed location.
The funny thing is that, Ron who is described with a long thin nose... Dumbledore also, I believe. So the illustrations would be actually accurate for those characters. Altthough Ron's nose looks broken to me. 😅
Cool books! I just have to point out on the sorcerer's stone cover you pointed out the queen, king, rook, knight, and castle... the rook and castle are the same piece. you meant bishop. I'm sorry but I had to point it out. otherwise well done with another cool addition to your collection.
In the chamber of secrets cover. I REALLY believe it's Lucius and Draco cause of the devilish looks, we run into them at Gilderoys book signing, and he is holding a book, which is Tom Riddles Diary.
Do the American versions have any premovie fonts or did they just take those fonts and use them for the movie? I've never seen any American versions that have any fonts other than the one we all know and love now. I got my first book back in 98 and it has the font used in the movies.
Mary GrandPre, the US illustrator, is the inventor of the Harry Potter font we know and what is now used everywhere. 🙂 The US books is where it showed up first (Mary didn’t know it would be so widely used in the future… pretty awesome.)
@@ThePotterCollector that's really cool! I don't blame them for picking it, it's a fantastic design and she obviously did an amazing job coming up with it.
Peter I have a question. What are your thoughts on a cinereplica Harry Potter robe on Amazon? Do u thing I should get one? Personally I think the ones at universal at to expensive for my wallet lol. I found on for 80 dollars, do u think I should make the purchase?
The green thing on the last book might be a tent? It seems to be slightly flapped and folded like an old fashioned tent may have been. Just a wild guess that could be very wrong. The artist went a very interesting route with the drawing of the characters. Buckbeak’s head looks more like a heron than an eagle. I don’t know if that is typically how they draw hippogriffs in that country and that is why. I like seeing the different countries take on the characters though when they look nothing like what we are used to from the books that were made for the US. Do you have the Scots version of The Philosopher’s Stone? I saw one from another channel and it was fun to see the Scottish slag used.
Tammi means oak and it's the name of publishing company. I think it's fun how the name is hidden like that. I do think the characters are kinda ugly but I think it makes them unique and I prefer that over "normal" pretty
I would think on the second book that it is Malfoy as he is holding a "diary" of sorts to put in Ginny's cauldron. The last book I would think that was Griphook or one of the other Goblins.
Salaisuuksien Kammio book cover two black haired persons are Lucius and Draco Malfoy. They have black hair because Malfoy's hair color told book three first time. And book five guy with dog ears is Sirius Black.
Hello Peter I am your old subscriber and I watched your collection and saw you having Gujarati Harry Potter book and I am also Gujarati please do a detailed video on Hindi translation

I sent you this supposedly hardest Harry Potter quiz ever on fb messenger. Is there a better way to get the link to you?! I’d love to see a video of you doing the quiz!!!!
Do you only collect official merch or do you also collect custom made things? There’s this person called Kadivideo and she made VHS interpretations of the HP films. They look really cool.
This is AMAZING! I am 1/4 Finnish and how cool would it be if I learned my family’s language by reading Harry Potter! Where did you source these? I only see $200+ on EBay
The Finnish translator, Jaana Kapari-Jatta is also brilliant, she invented some words for the books that are still commonly used in the Finnish language. Her translation is like 20/10 rated. We adore it.
Yep, literal perfection!
Like what like what? That's really cool btw, it's like how Shakespeare invented words that are very much in use now.
@@nohandlethanx Like Hoqwarts = Tylypahka and muggle = jästi for example :)
@@schwartzy65 Oh, I see... Do the words have a double meaning to them?
@@nohandlethanx Some words atleast partly kinda, like for tylypahka (hoqwarts) tyly means rude or harsh and pahka means burl that grows on trees :D
As a Finn, I'm not a big fan of these covers, but they're pretty iconic! After I got the last book, new covers started to be more common and they look STUNNING! I was at first sad that I had the old weird ones, but now I'm glad I have them🥰

I love how colorful and very detailed covers of the books. The faces are a bit unusual. Hedwig's picture is beautiful.

I reckon it’s Griphook on the back cover. I think it’s the pointy ears 👂 that does it.

Totally!
Possibly but since he is a goblin I would picture his body/head to be smaller

The guy on the back of Deathly Hallows might be Griphook.
And on the 2nd cover it may be the Malfoys, as it said in the books he did dress like that, but Jason in the films changed him. And JK allowed it.
I would think on the second book that it is Malfoy as he is holding a "diary" of sorts to put in Ginny's cauldron. The last book I would think that was Griphook or one of the other Goblins.
It would be nice if you could do the Greeck Harry Potter books.
Maybe the guy on the back of the 7th is the snatchers that try to take Ron to the ministry after he left Harry and Hermione in the forest

TAMMI! What about the unbreakable magical contract that the Goblet constitutes? She must have died horribly...
@kivikunnas Tammi was a lovely girl named after an oak tree
I wish Halloween town did a subscription box would love to have marlins talisman and the amulet called the gift they are so cool check them out
I think that the back of the deadly hollows is actually Salazar Slytherin
Are you doing a Potter Collector sale this summer?
In the right corner of Deathly Hallows, it looks like something from Godric's Hallow. Thinking the church.
the last page character is banker
love Harry Potter Books Swedish edition
Sweden have one more collection with a diffrent covers on the books
Great set!
Are there any sets that're are just down right wacky and weird?
Any news on more translations in Scots?
i think the guy on the back of deathly hallows is Griphook
I love special books revew
Interesting Artwork 🤔
Great video!
Can you please make a video about the Dutch version of the Harry Potter books. Please
Probably that is Griphook or at least I think so .
