Wednesdays Worldly covers - Week 19 (Extended edition)

This week I wanted to share with you the various covers for Harry Potter and the Philosphers stone by J.K Rowling. For a change though I'm going to start with the UK editions.

This are the childrens cover, the original and the recently released version. (There have been a couple more I think but these are the ones I've chosen to use)

And this is the adult version which is the one I have and prefer : )

And here's the American cover where it's called Harry Potter and the Sorcerers stone
The German cover, Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen - Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone.

Italian - Harry Potter e la pietra filosofale - Also translates to The sorcerers stone.
The strangest one so far lol

French - Harry Potter à l'École des Sorciers - Also the sorcerers stone

Dutch - Harry Potter en de Steen der Wijzen - Again The Sorcerers stone.
I really like this one, especially the little owl with a letter at the top.

Spanish - Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal - The sorcerers stone

Persian - هری پاتر و سنگ جادو  - The sorcerers stone

And there are plenty more where these came from but I think I'll stop here!
Which ones your favourite?

  1. The French title Harry Potter à l'École des Sorciers actually means "Harry Potter at the School for Wizards", no mention of stones anywhere.
