New Book Covers for Harry Potter Series by Award Winning Artist

Scholastic has unveiled new covers for the Harry Potter book series. Award Winning Illustrator Kazu Kibushi took on the prized role of creating the new covers for JK Rowling's books. The previous honor and original illustrator was Mary Grandpre, whose work has become popularized with prints and framed artwork.

The new release of book covers for the series is part of Scholastic's celebration for the 15th anniversary release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. For each book cover, Kibushi has captured a pivotal moment from that particular book.

Below are the covers released so far with Order of the Phoenix, Half Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows to be released in the coming weeks. New trade paperbacks and boxed set with covers by Kibuishi will be released on August 27, 2013
