overall I like the art style. The characters are a bit over stylized to my taste, but the rest is nice. 2, 4, 5, and 6 are pretty cool. 5 is number 1 for me.
the castle looks like a tiny castle/manor on top of a hill.
Harry doesn’t age after book 2. It makes him look out of place on book 7.
book 1 doesn’t get me excited for the series, it honestly is one of the weakest entries.
7 has same issue as 1, for the finale it needs something to get me excited. Humans are clearly not the artists strong point. it needs something like the dragon from 4 or the fire from 6.
That is true, I kind of gave them pass because none of the major plot was revealed. For 7, you know they’re going to fight, and weather its at a forest or lake isn’t a major point.
For 6, it shows a scene that I recall being early/mid way through. Sure it gives away we fight some kind of zombies, but its not like revealing the final boss of 2.
A major spoiler could be to show Snape with the book or anyone falling out a window.
For 4, just showing a dragon is basically the same as 6 showing zombies. I decided due the tournament events being a secret, us knowing its a a dragon ahead of time is a more of a spoiler.
Ideally nothing would be given away, but the reality of these cover is you got to get kids interested in them. (With 0 expertise in the subject) I think 1 fails miserably, but 2-6 would do a great job of appealing to a variety of kids.
Here’s the full set. Sorry for potato quality, I just grabbed the first images I found.
These have spoilers all over.
2- monster and Phoenix
3- Harry’s patronus
4- we fight a dragon
6/7- these are okay, not too spoilery

Eh, we still have:
When I’ve read 70% of a book and the scene on the cover hasn’t happened, I have a pretty good idea of what one of the climactic scenes is going to be…
