At least some publishers have given us memorable editions.
The Lord of the Rings printed on India paper and a similar edition of The Hobbit, although on a standard paper
Very beautiful illustrated editions such as
The Lord of the Rings
The Silmarillion
The Lord of the List and The Hobbit
Harry Potter:
American fantastic editions, unfortunately, the stopped after the first two books
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1) [Deluxe Edition]
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2, Collector's Edition)
or UK editions, although far far behind the American quality:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Book 1): Special Edition
What this reprint will be like? Just new covers? Anything else special? I doubt it. They lost the skill to produce special editions. People who already own Harry Potter set are not going to shed money for another similar edition. Bloomsbury failed to produce a really good special edition even at the first attempt.
