Whoa. I know Olly had posted the top part of that Kiki image before, but I'd never seen the whole thing.

The new edition will house a foreword from Rowling writing as Magizoologist Newt Scamander, six brand new beasts, new line illustrations from Tomislav Tomic, and a new cover by Olly Moss, who designed the seven most recent Harry Potter eBook covers. Proceeds from the sale of this edition will benefit Comic Relief and J.K. Rowling’s charity Lumos.

Neato! Wonder if it will fit with one of the other series or if it will be distinct.

Looks to be the cover for the e-book only.

I wish scholastic would go all out and do a box set with all of Olly's covers, hard cover, leather bound, foil on the pages. Make it limited. Charge what ever you want. I'll buy it.

It said it was in the pottermore link. Maybe they use it for on of the physical ones though.

So one site says the Olly art is on physical and the other site says it isn't....guess we will have to wait for more info to confirm either way.

that looks the least Moss-like cover of all the covers (for one thing it isnt anything like his star wars posters) - still hoping the e-book covers see life as prints one day.

I'm halfway tempted to just buy the German versions and be done with it! :wink:
