The latest and last 'Harry Potter' film is finally here, but the countdown to this momentous occasion has resulted in some very interesting tributes such as these Harry Potter Classic Album covers. Although many of us (yes, I'm including myself in there) have dreamed about beloved characters existing in the real world, I don't think any of us would have ever imagined it would be in this way. Of course, considering the iconic status they all have now, comparing them to rock gods and legends isn't that far off the mark.
Conceived by the Next Movie blog, the Harry Potter Classic Album covers are pretty clever. From Snape as the King of Rock and Roll to Ron Weasley as David Bowie, these covers were extremely well-executed with the help of Old Red Jalopy.
