I ..... don't like them.
Not sure what it is, maybe I'm just so used to the bright and colourful originals, that I can't imagine them any other way...
But no.I will not be buying these.
To be truthful, if I'd never read Harry Potter before, I wouldn't be drawn to these based on the covers.It was partly the colourfulness (not a word, but you get my meaning) that attracted me to pick up the first book...And then obviously the story got me hooked.

I guess I'm alone in really disliking them, though. lol
