Are these THE ODDEST Harry Potter Book Covers in the World?
There are so many incredible Harry Potter book covers. While these are the oddest, in my opinion, I still LOVE them. It is fun to explore and see how different countries interpret the stories differently. These Persian books from Iran were interestingly interpreted. You may even see some Jurassic Park on one of the books... SERIOUSLY!
Unfortunately, these are now out of print. You can find them used on sites like eBay and AbeBooks. A new edition in Persian has been released.

I was thinking the same thing. Stripes=tiger. Bit of a stretch, but ok!
It’s almost like someone got an inaccurate plot summary of the books, and then was told to create a cover representing everything from the plot, only using free pictures from google.

Those are amazing in their weirdness, it’s like someone kinda knew what the books were about, and kinda knew how to use clip art. Reminds me of something I saw a few years back where people were trying to recreate movie posters and such using only the basic Microsoft clip art package.

Some of them are 100% don’t judge a book by its cover. It’s not what the outside is, it’s what’s inside that counts. It’s still HP which we all love. Would love to read a mashup of Jurassic part and HP that would truly be entertaining. These covers made my day.
I love all these covers . The wildest is with the Jurassic Park . But I also still love them so much
The boy on the Chamber of Secrets is from Jerry Tiritilli. He illustrated the book the pagemaster which is also a lovely book
Although it's funny and wacky, I REALLY dislike these covers. They're all missing something about the normal covers. I feel like they dishonored the Harry Potter universe by doing that... I'm sorry that I sound like a salty butthead but I'm just venting how I feel about it.

the goblet of fire cover had me dying. this was hilarious oh my god
Hello!! Love Your Videos!
Love your videos! Thank you for adding to my already enormous amount of Harry Potter knowledge! I will be going to the Wizarding world of Harry Potter in August or September! I might see you there!
Oh wow 🦕 and Snow White lol too funny - these are fantastic 😂
As always an awesome video!! Thank you for being one of the people who inspired me to start my own channel! 🎊
I've just watched you struggling to make sense out of this crazy covers for ten minutes and I honestly loved every second of it
Oh my God! I'm Iranian and I have been looking for this video for a long time! This is an older version of the book. Now people mostly buy the version which doesn't have any picture on the cover. (I think you also have that one) but you can still buy this version from the stores. And although I think they've changed it now but in the last printings of this book they had spelled Hermione like "her.mi.on" but after J.k Rowling talking about it and correcting people I guess they changed it in the edition you have.😂😂 BTW Thanks for posting this!😆😆😆
The cover art is so creative I love it ❤️

I'm an Iranian Potterhead and these are the first books that I bought with my own allowance many years ago, so these books are my babies but even to this day I look at the covers and go what in the actual hell?! 🤣🤣🤣
For some reason they remind me of those nonsensical bootleg Yu-Gi-Oh cards and I'm loving it
The Harry and Hermione on the first part of Order of the Phoenix's cover could've been used on the cover for the first book! Also, those illustrations are by Mark Braught and they were used for merchandising before the movies came out and even during the movies.
Hahaha this video is awesome, love you Peter!!!
I loves this!!! It was so funny and made me laugh!! 🤣🤣💙💙
I think the dude running in the first book it’s Peeves ...
Do you have the Italian HP books? J.K. Rowling thought of them as the oddest.
The picture of the blond boy on the chamber of secrets cover is taken directly from one of my favorite children's books- The Pagemaster!
Great channel!
Love it!!! Thanks for this entertaining video 🙏. I would be curious to get a closer look at just your German books. Could you possibly do a video on them?

I know about 4 different Farsi translations but only this one is available now . Sadly I have the second edition with "normal" covers. I read this translation and it is normal and not as wacky as I expected but edited to meet their cultural standarts .I really want to buy them but can not find any for reasonable prince . You must see their Witcher books ,they used arts from games for cover and of course picture of Henry Cavil .
wow im early and these book covers are crazy like what!!!
These crazy books are my first harry potter books, and back in the time I used to hate them since they were not related to the story and I hated the dinosaurs the most but now that they are out of print I really love these since they reminde me of my teenage years and becoming a potterhead :))

Yes here so early and I'm stoked!!!
I know this video is older but I just had to say these are some of my favorite covers because they make no sense but are also just epic.
I'm Persian and we always try to ignore the details on the covers and just read what's inside.
You might already know this but Thailand’s 20 anniversary Harry Potter books came out and they look really cool! Plus they make sense!
I have never seen them but honestly I agree with you about book 4 and 1
I would agree with what you have chosen goblet of Fire is the craziest one. Also I think the boy they are using in book one and three is the boy from the Little Vampire. He looks very similar to him.
