Petrificus Totalus. [ MUSIC ] Juniper Books released this new set of Hogwarts house theme book covers for $ 275. Each house repping it's colors and mascots. Red and gold for Grifeendoor. Green and black from Slitheren. A badger for Hufflepuff, and a raven for Ravenclaw. Despite it's name the correct bird that officially represents Ravenclaw is an Eagle And Harry Potter fans worldwide treated the misrepresented book cover exactly like a horcrux. This time I cannot hope to destroy it alone. As a united front, these wanna- be wizards sought to destroy the cover. But since they couldn't take a basilisk fang to this Colorado- based publisher, Time reports the publisher received enough complaints from fans That they're gonna change the cover. The new cover now features a soaring eagle that would make any raven claw proud, so well done all you Hogwarts hopefuls. Your acceptance letter may not have come this year, but consider applying it [ UNKNOWN ]. Books are so your thing. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4053951/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-great-hall/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4053951/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-great-hall/"},"headline":"You Can Now Have Dinner in the Great Hall at Hogwarts","datePublished":"2015-09-29T16:45:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:43:50.252Z","description":"Pass the pumpkin juice","url":"https://time.com/4053951/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-great-hall/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Books"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc0d4dbc0ffa242e3/69876f052dce011ce39dc781/christmas-movies-07.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"ashley Ross","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-ross/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc0d4dbc0ffa242e3/69876f052dce011ce39dc781/christmas-movies-07.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Harry Potter","caption":"Harry Potter","creditText":"Warner Bros.","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4053951/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-great-hall/","name":"You Can Now Have Dinner in the Great Hall at Hogwarts"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Nerds Unite To Fix House-Themed 'Harry Potter' Book Cover","description":"A book cover that had the wrong symbol for the Ravenclaw house made","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/K9g8cg2R/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-09-17T15:21:56.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/K9g8cg2R.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4053951/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-great-hall/","duration":"PT1M6S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4053951/harry-potter-jk-rowling-hogwarts-great-hall/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
