“Harry Potter” series to get new cover art for 15 year anniversary
In honor of its 15-year publication anniversary in the U.S., Scholastic has released the first illustration in a series of new cover art for the “Harry Potter” series, due out in September. All seven illustrations have been created by graphic novel author and illustrator Kazu Kibuishi, of the “Amulet” series, with the first one pictured below:
Kibuishi was hesitant to take on the project at first, however; GrandPré’s original pastel covers ”are so fantastic and iconic,” he said, that “when I was asked to submit samples, I initially hesitated because I didn’t want to see them reinterpreted.”

In a relationship marked by more fits and starts than Carrie and Big’s nuptials, 86-year-old media magnate Hugh Hefner and his 26-year-old lady friend Crystal Harris have spent the past few days making some very public noises that they’re back together. Is this yet another attention-getting stunt from the rapidly becoming obsolete Playboy brand, or is this what love conquering all looks like?It’s an unusual twist: The two ended their engagement in 2011, when Harris got cold feet a mere five days before the scheduled nuptials. A Playboy cover featuring “Mrs. Crystal Hefner” had to be hastily slapped with a “Runaway Bride” label. Last summer, however, she moved back into the mansion and confirmed she and Hef were “back together.”Continue Reading… … Read More
