In a new article today from Bookseller.com, we learn that Bloomsbury – the UK publisher of the Harrry Potter series – has plans to republish the Harry Potter paperbacks with brand new covers.

The new paperback designs were created by Webb and Webb Design Limited, with illustrations by linocut artist Clare Melinsky on the front cover, back cover and spine, to “appeal to the next generation of readers who did not 'grow up' with Harry Potter and who have not yet experienced the thrill of life at Hogwarts”.

The books will be on store shelves November 1st!

Are you going to purchase the new designs even if you were already exposed to “life at Hogwarts”? Leave us your comments here.
