Default Chapter Art and Cover Art

Now that you know what it meant, how much more/less do you love it? I know I was very surprised that the American cover (abiet gorgeous) was drawn how it was... I never expected that to be the Great Hall... I thought it looked more like it was in a Quidditch arena if anything! Although I like the Red-Gold sky a lot. And I like how she has the curtains on the book cover, like she did with the first one, to signal the close of the series... so awesome!

My big thing was... (and I know they aren't in the British version, but) the chapter pictures. I thought they were the best ever in detail, and in selection of what she chose to draw! I especially loved one of Hagrid carring Harry and the one of the Silver Doe. Which pictures were your favorite?

I loved the American cover art and the chapter arts so much..I liked most of them, Mary drew them perfectly..Actually I liked how she drew Ron and Hermione..espeically Ron..Harry was perfect at the cover art but Voldemort wasn't too good..My fav are Chapters 1,3,7,10,22,23,25,31,33..And this pic I found it in Leaky Cauldron but I don't think its related to chapter art but it's by Mary I think

For the longest time I couldn't figure out what the place on the American cover was. It doesn't look like The Great Hall at all. I guess the ceiling was bewitched to look like that, or something? I also liked the curtains on the first and seventh book.

I loved the picture for the Epilouge. I was like, Platform 9 3/4! Where it all starts over again! Loved it.

The American one still confuses me; it looks nothing like the Great Hall, and is in my opinion misleading.

The British kids one looked a bit crowded when I saw it on the internet, but it looks a lot nicer as a physical book. I especially love the use of many colours against a black border.
