A new cover for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban will be winging its way into bookshops in September 2014.

The brand new cover for the Prisoner of Azkaban:

Award-winning artist Jonny Duddle chose a nighttime scene of young Harry conjuring up his Patronus to attack the Dementors for the new jacket. The artist is best known for his picture books The Pirate Cruncher and The Pirates Next Door.

How do you think Jonny Duddle's new cover for Prisoner of Azkaban compares to the old one?

Do you miss Buckbeak's comforting appearance on the earlier cover? Will the Dementors on the new jacket give you nightmares? What's your take on the twinkly new font in contrast with the old, plain lettering?

What you think:

@RebTamas:

A real shame, as the old cover was beautifully understated and captured the spirit of the book. This is simply average.

@Jackdraws:

This is gorgeous and it don't spoil nothing. Great work Jim Kay.

@lizzydreamer:

Dear @GdnChildrensBks please could a glow in the dark version be made too? And a poster? That would be utterly fab and kinda scary. Thank U!

@IHeartChickLit:

OH MY. This is stunning!

@neverjessie:

Love the illustration, hate the typeface.
