The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.

This week’s Friday Face-Off theme is a cover that features or appears serpentine: “Eternity is a circle, a serpent that swallows its own tail.” This week’s book cover comes from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling.

And the winner is… COVER C!

This one was tougher than I thought it would be actually. Quite a few of these covers I’ve seen before somewhere or other. Most of them, I like too. But C snatched the win for me today. I love this cover, it has a really dynamic feel with lots of action going on.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next week’s theme is a cover that features the word MAGIC in the title: “Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
