It is probably hard to create something new for something so loved. It's like any time there is a new movie based off a book everyone goes crazy over who is cast as a character we love.Angelas Anxious Lifehttp://angelasanxiouslife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-77034843229863320862014-08-20T23:57:44.142-06:002014-08-20T23:57:44.142-06:00I agree with The Chamber of Secrets cover, that is...I agree with The Chamber of Secrets cover, that is a bit of spoiler there.

This year they are reading the first book and then will watch the first movie. So it is for a generation like that I am talking about. It is true though if you are older.. there is probably no way you have missed the movies or heard people talking about the books. Though my cousin will probably ending up being spoiled about the books in school or on the internet as she gets older now that I think about it.

I think where in a weird in between territory with Harry Potter. With as everywhere as it is I don't think we can expect to stay completely spoiler free but that doesn't mean we should be careless with spoilers.

I don't think the covers reveal anything more than movie previews and commercials. I must say though, I much prefer the covers of the 15th Anniversary Paperback box set I got for Christmas last year, I like the subtle coloring as opposed to the bright colors on these.Angnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-47779780343849453822014-08-06T05:46:29.175-06:002014-08-06T05:46:29.175-06:00That's how I did it - I wasn't allowed to ...That's how I did it - I wasn't allowed to read the next book until I'd seen the movie of the book I just read. And by "allowed" I mean it was a game my sister and I played so we both weren't allowed. And also it wasn't a matter of being old enough for the movies - it was a matter of waiting for them to be made and released :)Anniehttp://anniejacksonbooks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-22246655787000185932014-08-05T17:28:49.383-06:002014-08-05T17:28:49.383-06:00Good to know.

Much more young adult books. I didn't think about the marketing side of the covers. They would want to sell these to future generations of children so having a child on the cover is the perfect way to do this. <br /><br />My little cousin is just starting these books. She is 6 and my aunt is reading her book 1. Then next year book 2, and so on. Same with the movie. One movie a year until she is old enough.Angelas Anxious Lifehttp://angelasanxiouslife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-39931199402079751772014-08-05T16:05:54.837-06:002014-08-05T16:05:54.837-06:00I agree...
