Poll: The Hogwarts House Selection
26th June, 1997 - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is published. Twenty years ago. Can you believe it?! Twenty years! Twenty!!!
Pottermore recently announced that Bloomsbury are celebrating this momentous occasion by releasing special 20th anniversary editions of the Philosopher's Stone at the beginning of June. According to Bloomsbury's website, there's also going to be various events and competitions, including an exhibition at the British Library from October.
As for the books, there are four different editions, one for each House, in both paperback and hardback. The hardbacks will be black with the House crest in a House colour and striped sprayed edges. The paperbacks will be the reverse with the crest in black on the House colour and have single colour sprayed edges. Both editions will contain fascinating facts about the Houses of Hogwarts, and three specially commissioned House illustrations per book.
Top row: paperbacks, bottom row: hardbacks
I think the hardback ones look much nicer and I know immediately which House edition I would get. I imagine it's just as obvious for some of you. I wonder which House is more popular amongst my friends though...
