The Friday Face-Off is a new meme created by Books by Proxy, where the idea is to compare the UK and US covers of a book with each week being a certain theme, this week’s theme is “Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.” – a cover which features the moon.
For the theme this week I am kicking it back with the kids and have chosen: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling.
Cover A:
Cover B:
Cover C:
Cover D:
Cover E:
Cover F:
Cover D:
For me, I really like the overall blueish tone of the cover. The lightning bolt through the ‘O’ in the Potter of the title is a really small but nice detail. And, along with Harry, his billowing robes and the detailed Patronus charm, added together they all make for a stunning looking cover. Cover F is pretty cool to though, ecspecially the artistic style.
Thoughts?? Agree?? Disagree??
And for anyone that wants to take part next week, the theme is: “May flights of angels lead you on your way”. A cover featuring an angel/Angels.
Follow me on:
Twitter and Goodreads.
It was a toss up between c and d for myself. I am a bit partial to blue 😉

Great book choice – totally fits in with my HP month! I love it. Your choice is excellent – I also love cover C but my favourite is cover A.

Definitely agree! That looks like the US cover. I’m assuming it is. This is one book series where the US covers are way better.

I don’t know if it’s the US cover or not, there is 11 pages of covers on Goodreads so I just picked a few I liked.

I think it said Bloomsbury on the cover, so I assumed it was the one in New York, but they also have one in London. I guess it could be either one. 11 pages of unique covers? Damn that’s crazy.

Oh, what a great choice of book, Drew:). I love E – and also D. It’s not just a case of blue – they are just better covers. The original Bloomsbury cover did HP no favours whatsoever, in my opinion…

Yeah, have to agree with you about the original covers, there not bad, just some of the newer covers are far better. 😀
