'Deathly Hallows' cover art released!
Scholastic and Bloomsbury today both revealed the covers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!- United States Children's Edition - view here
- United Kingdom Children's Edition - view here
- United Kingdom Adult Edition - view here
You can also view a high-res version of the entire US jacket HERE.
Bloomsbury also announced today that the UK edition will be 608 pages long. As previously announced, the US version of the book will have 784 pages, making it longer than GOF. However, the UK page count makes DH shorter than the British GOF (which is 636 pages long). We presume this is due to an increased font size for the US version.

UPDATE: Arthur Levine, the US Potter editor, spoke this morning on the TODAY show about the American cover:
"We're seeing Harry in a very interesting situation. Readers will find out exactly what the situation is.
"When I was reading it, I had both the excitement and the power of the book, and the plot, driving me forward. But I was also feeling a little sad. It's the last time."
When Levine admitted he "sobbed and sobbed" while reading Deathly Hallows, he was asked the following:
"That means someone we like dies, doesn't it?"
"Well, it means it is a very, very emotional book," he responded.

Thanks Andrew - I was trying to figure out how to submit it, in case nobody was awake yet!! I found it this morning when I got up and I'm waiting for the morning news shows to do their thing :)
OMG ITS OUT....its a step closer to da book......its lovely!!
WHOAH! *waits anxiously for the UK version to load* I'm so excited! My terrible night just got better! :D:D:D:D:D
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! the background kinda looks like a repaired stone hendge i know I spelled that wrong, but still OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
fantastic... love the US one...UK one (where i am is taking forever to load, hope it is as good as US one....
waitng fot the UK one to load but the smaller version of it looked great ;D
Did anybody else notice with the Scholastic magnifier that neither one of them has a wand at all - you can see all 4 hands - now I'm wondering what they are looking at?!?! ARRGGGH! Something else to have us examining and taking every detail apart - what does it MEAN? :)
Amazing! i can't wait!!
SO HAPPY!!! I love it! (the book is what really matters though)
oh this is brill yay im sooooo happy (dancing around room) it looks great !!!!
The UK version is taking FOREVER to load but is that a STORYLINE on the jacket???
AWESOMEEEE!! I wish the US one was a bit darker colors though, I think the UK one with the locket looks real cool.
and now i'm going to spend the next 24 hours of my life analyzing a book cover. and i couldnt be happier.
Wow, it looks really well done. They seem to be fighting on some kind of ruings... perhaps Godric's Hollow? But it also looks like it is surrounded by a colosseum. I wonder what they're both reaching for...
yellow! its wonderful! I love it!
As usual I really don't like the US cover, but as I always get the UK version, I'm just happy they're better ^_^
WOW!
US version looks scary...is that LV on the left? Where are the wans and what are they looking at?
LOVIN IT!!!!!
My sight! It's cured!!! *squee*
OMG I CAME ON AND I DIDN'T THINK THERE WOULD BE ANY NEWS BUT THE COVER IS OUT!! SO MY NEW CHAT PIC!!!
*faints
The background reminds me of Hercules. You know, the part where he knocks all the column things over? Anyway, it's really early in the morning and I just screamed when I saw the cover. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited.
From the looks of it, Harry and Voldemort are going to go to Rome and fight it out in the Coliseum.
I had a couple more realizations as I was looking at the cover. They could possibly be reaching for Fawkes since they both seem to be looking in the air, could he have their wands? (Since they each contain a tail feather of the phoenix's) And if I'm not mistaken, Harry doesn't seem to have the scar on his forehead.
aw wow! i like the uk version! heehee its groovy!
I SEE THE LOCKET. COVER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah i saw it on the today show like 2 seconds ago...its so pretty how long till it will be big enough to put on my desktop?
It looks to me that Harry is looking up at something and Voldy is looking at Harry. I could be wrong though. Are those curtains on the sides of the picture. What are those?
Holy Crap, I just saw the cover on the Today Show...wow. Im not sure how much I like the cover but its def. different. Im not sure whats up with Harry's pose though.........
...is it just me or does this confirm that Deathly Hallows is, in fact, a place?
Okei, on the us version there seem to be people around Harry and Voldemort, did you see them? They stand in the background!! But what the heck are they all doing? The cover doesn´t reveal much does it?! Are Harry´s eyes BLUE?? And my first thought of the uk version was that are Harry, Ron and Hermoine robbing gringotts?! haha. Anyway, Yeaha, finally the covers are HERE :)!!!
omg it's gonna make me cry. I can't believe HP is gonna be over this summer. :'(
I love them both!!
The US version is so.........Different styled than the other covers. All the other covers (except for GOF) represent darkness. This one is just, Orange. It Rocks :D
KDFJASDKJF SPAZZ YAY!! It's orange! Wow.
KDFJASDKJF SPAZZ YAY!! It's orange! Wow.
I dont like the UK Cover too much! the US was is the best so FAR!
I think the UK covers won, but Harry does look kinda cool on the US cover.
I'm not too crazy about the orange but I guess it looks more like a sunrise/sunset this way. I was personally hoping for maybe a red cover. On the Today Show the editor said that he "sobbed" when he finished the book; I guess the book must be pretty good then.
OMG!!! What is that? A treasure or something? ooooooh.... Can't wait any longer!!
Ooh really? The editor said that???? I hope the clip of it will find its way here SOON! Please mugglenet?
PErhaps theyre figthing for a wand!!!!!!!!!! Since they obviously cant use theyre own wands against each other, they could be trying to get someone (like wortail perhaps?) to throw them down a wand to finish off the other one!!!
While MuggleNet was loading, I thought to myself..."I'll jump out of the window if the book covers are released..." Then the site loaded and I fell off my chair. Haha! Insane don't you think? I love the covers!
OMG!!!! Did anyone else notice that in the UK Kids edition, they are all like, fighting to get away from something? AND there's a stone archway behind them with no veil. they look like they're being sucked into the veil, but I dunno. It wouldn't be the first time that a theory was WAAAAY off the mark. OH! and, Ron is holding a sword, probably not Gryffindors, but still worth a look.
wow! i get the UK/Canadian version, and i must say i absolutely hate the front cover but it sure could tell us a lot! where is there lots of treasure? Gringotts perhaps??? ooooooooooo.....
