Since we at Defamer realize that the only thing worse than the crippling shame of being spotted with a book in Los Angeles is being seen with a children's book in our fine, reading-averse city—even if that book will one day become a mega-grossing motion picture—we're happy to pass along a link to this gallery of alternate covers for the new Harry Potter tome that might lessen the humiliation of being caught in the act of catching up with the goings-on at Hogwarts. While the featured Fuck Wars is a good choice, we also recommend Memoirs of a Shark Fucker, whose title just might confuse the gangs of cultural enforcers who roam L.A. looking to geld anyone flouting their disobedience of local anti-literacy codes long enough for you to beat a hasty escape.
