I just got done posting this on our website

Earlier this morning the cover art for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was revealed on the 'Today Show.' Both Bloomsbury and Scholastic web sites have been updated with the art.
- US Edition is shown here

- Entire book jacket is shown here

-UK Edition is shown here

On the back of the UK Edition, the flap says this:
Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him with?

Any thoughts on this? What do you think about the covers? Do they give us any more clues as to what the book is about?

WOO For Book Cover . . . :mellow: The US edition Harry's give me the creeps for some reason. Also am I the only one who thinks the UK editions Ron looks disturbingly like Rupert. :mellow: :mellow: AND OMG IS THAT DOBBY WITH A SORD!! EVERYONE RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!

Anyway that symbol on the jacket strip of the UK edition is certaintly interesting.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK how exciting!!!!! but thing is....its actually come to me....this is the last book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :no:

ooh! that's friggen awesome!!! my wii wouldn't let me see it yesterday

The book jacket is cooler, but I the only thig it gives away (and we already knew this) is that Voldemort and Harry are forced to say ello again (well we all should have known that.) But I can't see thw whole thing though... so yeah...

I really like the picture of Harry on the US cover. In the one on the UK cover, I think he looks sort of like Clark Kent. And I agree that Ron looks a lot like Rupert on the UK cover.

What is that picture of the snake in the egg (or whatever it is) on the back of the UK cover about?

Dunno . . . but whatever it is i want one :)

maybe its the rebirth of slytherin :P. Oh and um why do Harry and Voldemort both have there hands up instead of at each other anyhoo i can't wait to get my hands on this book and i love the stag on flap jacket of the uk edition i wonder if that will have a part in the story or if it was just placed there?

I hav nothing really to say about the covers but I've already PRE-ordered a couple books!!! Pre-Order at Chapters get 20% off!!! Sorry... I had to say it!

there's a lotta discussion about the triangle shown on the spine...
n has anyone noticed the slytherin's locket is SILVER?! isn't it supposed to be GOLDEN?!!

Well I think that's bacause the artist doesn't really act upon the little things to change them. Such as colors, because they aren't the most important thing to him or her.

Ugh it is silver . . . the ring was gold not the locket.

WHAT THE!! Colour is one of the most important things when doing an image . . . if you dont have the right colurs then it can throw out the entire image and anyway . . . changing the colour of the locket wouldn't have been a smart thing to do anyway. I doubt it would matter to much to the image per se . . . but blegh . . . i'll shut up coz I probably aint making much sense

Oh yeah I guess so...

So . . . anyone think Alladins 'Cave of Wonders" when theyr saw the UK book cover . . . 'cause that's what first thought :mellow: Blergh I watch too much disney. :P

I did too actually... But I don't watch that much of it anymore... But if I stare too long at anything I can think up anything odd... For example I was looking at my GOF poster a while back and all of a sudden I was wondering how Emma would look in a tube top and short shorts... Not seeing how that relates though...

:mellow: Ok thank you NOT for that mental image! :lol: I can't satnd Emma . . . she's driven me batty since the 3rd movie.

Oh well glad I'm not the only one.

Sorry... That image'll probubly be stuck with you for some time... And anyone else who reads my post... dang... maybe I should edit it out lol

Yes very bad mental image. :mellow:

Anyway off topic. Ugh book covers. Well I think they are ugly . . . but I haven't seen a harry potter book cover I have liked yet so . . . whatever. Good books bad book covers I guess.

I'm not crazy about any of the covers, either, Shonk. Maybe you could do alternative covers for us? I'd be happy to print 'em off and put 'em on my books!

LAMO . . . as if. I'm too lazy for that. Unless you want a tsick figure or something :P

I know you're too lazy, but maybe someday, when you're really, really, really bored, you'll decide to do it. Until then, the rest of us can only wait and hope! :lol:

I doubt it . . . Desiging book covers would require me to also do backgrounds of some sort which I avoide like the plague so :P ain't going to happen.

The UK edition kind of scares me. I like the US one better. It's kinda got the yellow and orange color theme going on. It's pretty awesome.

What's the UK version look like?

Yeah Idont like that version... the US one is better... I saw the uk one in ireland it didnt look as cool...
