The British books are actually kind of inconsistent:
Chamber of Secrets is to the left: [link]

Half Blood Prince is dead centre: [link]

Philosopher's Stone is centre-ish, going left: [link]

This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Chamber of Secrets is the one I was looking at! (I'm re-reading the whole series now)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
OMG those covers are...um... horrid. I think I'm in actual physical pain from looking at them. That's almost as bad as an ita link.

You know I didn't think anything could be as bad as the French covers, but I guess I was wrong.
ETA: a right proper link

Art Crawl!!!
Wow. Pointy witches hats that somehow also manage to look like pilgrims.
How do the French do that?

That's funny, I totally prefer the British/Canadian covers. Yeah, the illustrations aren't great, but I really like the bands of colour and the font. And I think the Order of the Phoenix cover is quite beautiful:

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Gah, those French covers!
"Harry Potter and the Plymouth Rock"
"Harry Potter and the Secret of Jamestown"
Horrific, dude.

I imagine cover preference is largely what you're used to.
