July 15th, 2007Afraid to Read the New Harry Potter Book in Public?
Here’s a quick little checklist:
- Are you over the age of 16 and love Harry Potter?
- Do your friends and family mock you for reading anything by J.K. Rowling?
- Are you looking for a way to disguise the new book so that nobody will know you’re reading it?
- Is the “Adult Edition” cover still not manly enough for you?
If you answered yes to any of these, I have some great news for you. The people over at PointlessWasteOfTime have compiled a pretty good collection of alternate hardcover sleeves. Many of these had me laughing pretty hard, and I’m almost tempted to print a few of these off just to see what kind of reactions I might see while taking transit.
Of course, the one cover that I would want to add to this list would be Stephen Colbert’s Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure.
As an aside, if a Tek Jansen comic has been released and it’s not quite as silly as some might have expected. You can read more about it (including a preview) here.

Lol, some of those covers are pretty funny! My wife will be going to get her book at midnight and will spend all day on Saturday reading the book.
We’ve pretty much realized that she will be “gone” this coming weekend until she finishes the book. I’ve yet to read one of the books but have seen each of the movies.
I haven’t read any of the books, either, but it is tempting sometimes. It’s so hard to find authors that are able to bring you right into the story.
Greg Bear, Michael Connelly and Darrell Bain are three of my favourites, but I can read their novels much faster than they can produce them.
Besides, I’d love to use the “Memoirs of a Shark F***er” cover if I were to read any Harry Potter. Not because of potential mockery, but because I’d be insanely curious to see other people’s reactions
