<\/p>\nWith the promise of captivating performances from incredible actors, original music, real-world sound capture and so much more, the anticipation is building for the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone. While we (im)patiently wait for 4th November, the reveal of the new covers couldn\u2019t have come at a better time.<\/p>\n
A treat for new listeners and existing fans alike, it\u2019s easy to get lost in the richly-detailed art that echoes an important theme from the Harry Potter stories \u2013 things are not always as they seem.<\/p>\n
Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One thing stood out to us as we pored over every detail of the new audiobook covers\u2026 they all offered us a \u2018moment of reflection\u2019. While each told their own story, that was the common thread that connected them.<\/p>\n
This was clear on the cover of Philosopher\u2019s Stone \u2013 well, it would be hard to miss a giant castle\u2026 they aren\u2019t exactly subtle. Nevertheless, at first we thought this cover was a fantastic recreation of the moment that Hogwarts was revealed. Yet, as we kept looking, we saw little details which offered a brand-new perspective.<\/p>\n
Did you notice that the reactions of Harry and his friends are at the forefront of this design rather than the school? We thought that was rather brilliant. The wonder in Harry\u2019s face reiterates how life-changing this moment was for him \u2013 the realisation that there was so much more than Privet Drive and the narrow-minded Dursleys. This was the start of his real journey.<\/p>\n
Having Hogwarts appear upside down was a nice touch too \u2013 perhaps another nod to how everything Harry knew had been flipped on its head? Or how he spent his childhood not knowing that another world was right at his fingertips? Or maybe it\u2019s physics\u2026<\/p>\n
