He looks more like the UK cover Harry than the US cover Harry, which is exciting because the UK cover Harry is way hotter. Harry's getting hotter, yay!

Love the coloring of the sky, but I'm not sure how I feel about how stark it all is... it's like, Harry & Voldemort - DUH.

Is this the UK children's cover, UK adult cover, or US version?

Intriguing! It looks like it would be the US version.

It's the US version. This is the UK version:

The Harry Potter books are one case where I prefer the US art.

One: It's reallyl bright. Does that equal happy ending?

Two: See the like, CURTAINS to either side? IS THAT THE VEIL THAT SIRIUS FELL THROUGH?! Also, didn't they mention that the Ministry building is sort of like that arena idea they have going on? And the veil is in that arena room thing....

Call me a twelve-year old, but I am in love with Sirius and that would be so GREAT if he wasn't really dead!

I don't get the curtains either. It could almost be Voldemort directing Harry in an opera!

I showed my roommate the covers, and she said the UK one looks like something bad is happenning in Gringotts. Certainly seems possible.

I wish the US one had more clues (like the book 4 cover).

I agree. I think the US covers are a heck of a lot more appealing then the UK ones. The UK looks like some sort of weird, cheesy spinoff.



What is he holding his hand up for? Updated On: 3/28/07 at 07:50 PM

And what is that Harry has around his neck?

Voldemort:
Look at him, Perfect for an Opera!

Probably the locket (one of the Horcruxes). I think it is safe to assume that Harry will have to access deeper parts of his magic in order to beat Voldemort (IE Wandless Magic), which could explain the hands.

Ohhhhh, SO EXCITED!

Dude, am I the only one who sees the goblin thing with his arm on Harry's back and the *raised sword*???

On the U.K. cover, that is. Updated On: 3/28/07 at 09:29 PM

I thought that was Ron's arm with the sword...

[spiderdj82]

Posted: 3/28/07 at 9:33pm

It's a house elf

[Atrias]

Posted: 3/28/07 at 9:33pm

No, look behind Harry, there's a goblin head.

Well, that was my other thought, Spidey. Updated On: 3/28/07 at 09:33 PM

I don't see a goblin's head. I just see his hand on Harry's sholder. and if that's a goblin holding the sword then where the hell is Ron's other arm and why does Harry have that look on his face?

[Lavieboheme3090]

Posted: 3/28/07 at 9:47pm

The thing around Harry's neck is a locket with the letter S on it....

[Atrias]

Posted: 3/28/07 at 9:50pm

Ok, look at the space right over Harry's shoulder. There is the top of a head and some very pointy ears. Plus, that arm is too spindly to be Ron's.

Are you sure about the locket? I mean, I know that's what's on the UK adult cover, but I couldn't make out anything on the US one.

Very dramatic.

On the other "Deathly Hallows" thread, I provided a link if you want to see the Adult Edition cover.
