However, earlier this year the Scholastic released a new cover for Sorcerer's Stone with the new artist Kazu Kibuishi announcing new covers for the series and the release of the books sometime this fall. Sometime in mid-June Chamber of Secrets new cover had been released. Now in this week the next three covers were released announcing that the remaining covers will be released in August. Here are the five books in order. Order of the Phoenix cover is a bit small, but the prophet will show a bigger picture of it when it is available.

Fourth Book Cover for Heroes of Olympus

On May 31st, Rick Riordan revealed the cover of the fourth installment of his Heroes of Olympus series. The fourth book titled The House of Hades, will be released on Ocotober 4th 2013. The book will continue the heroic adventure of the seven demigods: Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Hazel Levesque, Leo Valdez, and Frank Zhang.

This book will be from the point of view (POV) of the Roman demigods Jason, Hazel, and Frank, but Riordan mentioned that Percy and Annabeth's journey through Tartarus will also be told and the book cover also claims this to be true. So many believe the fourth POV will be Annabeth due to ensuring that each hero has gotten two books with a POV.

The cover is here for you to make your opinion and judgement what awaits in The House of Hades:
