PEOPLE HAS NO ONE NOTICED THIS......SERIOUSLY..... I WIL TYPE IT BIG AND BOLD......DOBBY IS IN THE BACK OF HARRY IN THE UK CHILDREN'S EDITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN SEE HIS EARS POKING OUT AND HIS HAND IS ON HARRY'S SHOULDER.....HIS OTHER HAND IS THRUSTING UP GODRIC GRYFFINDOR'S SWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! Has anyone noticed there is a stadium in the background! Theories forming**

The UK version's Harry DOES look like Napoleon Dynamite....but it's Dan who plays Harry.....NAPOLEON DANomite! (Sorry, Dan....I honestly think you're the hottest guy alive. The HP guy on the UK cover isn't even on the "I Was Tormented at School Because I was Homely" squad. He's on the Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly Homely Fatheaded Muggle Poophead Squad)

OH MY! I don't know wether to laugh or cry or jump up and down or hide myself under the covers OH!!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Y GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited the cover is amazing and really like the color theme they chose...it's alot brighter than the last 2.

And I did notice the Dobby thing. He is holding the Gryffindor sword behind Harry. (foreshadowing)

Hey....you know gold is a symbol of triumph? Then Harry is going to live. As a quote from Zelda: The Wand Of Gamelon: Ganon (Here it is Voldie from US DH cover): Nooo!!! The light!!! IT BURNSSSSS!!!!!

YAYAY hey in the U.S version doesn't it look like Harry is wearing a necklace or something??

I think they all look great but i think Harry looks far older then 17 on the UK kids cover. Other then that i think their all good.

O.O...................... ..... Oooooookaaaaay.. .. Personally, I have to say I think Harry is looking quite handsome... anyhow, the coloseum in the back with all those people are certainly some tantalizing clues... and the rubble about Harry and Voldemort's feet? and what possible could they be reaching for? Ah questions questions questions....gotta wait 114 days to find out

wow! this is cool. I think i like the US version better. the colors blend so nicely and the drawing looks so smooth. did anyone else notice that Harry doesn't have a scar and that neither of them is holding a wand. could that mean that fawks is helping harry? what do you think that thing around harry's neck is? and what could they be reaching for? is it me or does it look like there is something really bright right above harry's hand?

ok after watching that video of the unveiling of the cover, i was really annoyed with the talk show hosts. don't you just hate how those type-people always ask the most obvious questions that you just know that the person cannot answer? OMG well it annoys me! lol like when the Today Show hosts were like, "That means someone we like dies, doesn't it?" (obviously meaning Harry Potter) and Arthur Levine was like, "Well, it means it is a very, very emotional book," (cuz he obviously couldn't tell us that - now could he????) lol ok yeah

in the UK children's cover, on the back, it looks like there are shapes in the clouds... like I definately see two people, and the letter H... Coincidence? Or does it have a hidden meaning...

The british cover looks like the Harry Potter parodies from Mad Magazine. Alfred isn't in the UK.....I think.....

I like it, it has an opptimistic aroua to it, but that could be decieving though. But the yellow just gives this feeling that everything will be OK, despite having death in the title. I kind of liked the red made up one on the countdown clock, it made the book seem more....better? But you can't judge a book by it's cover. I do wish though that it had more of a picture for us to contemplate the plot events more. Like how GOF had a LOT on the cover for us to contemplate. But the cover is just there to protect our precious story. CAN'T WAIT FOR IT!

I think the thing around harry's neck might be the fake locket that Harry said he liked carrying around to remind him of what he had to do..

ohmylord.

Gollum snuck into the UK Childrens cover and he's got Frodo's sword to prove it.....and there are millenium falcons from Star Wars in the sky on the back of the UK children's cover.....Hmmm....more product placement.

It looks as though Harry is wearing a Medicine bag...and if he is, I will be HIGHLY offended. A medicine bag is not something that just anyone can have. It takes a vision quest (where you starve yourself and go on a difficult journey to hallucinate so you can become one with your spirit animal and guide) and then a very sacred ceremony. If some British kid gets one just because he's "the chosen one" I'm going to flip out.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MY MY MY OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MY MY MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOO TOTALLY AWESOME!!! THOUGH THE BRIT COVER IS KINDA ... OK VERY UGLY (THE CHILDREN'S ONE) I ADORE THE US AND THE ADULT VERSION!! OMG OMG OMG OMG... THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O AWESOME AND MAKES THE BOOK SEEM CLOSER....THOUGH I DUNNO I DONT WANT IT TO END!!!!!!!!!!!!11...... goes off to cry in calculus textbook................. lyl lyl

on the US cover, it makes it seem as if harry's gone back in time because if you look closely in the archways, you can just make out the shapes of peasanty-looking people and even a knight.

Wow. It looks nothing like how I thought it would, but it is absolutely beautiful. I think this my be my favorite cover of the entire series!

Well I just want to know what that symbol on thespine of the UK cover means. its like a circle-triangle-divide in half. also on the back of the Uk cover is a picture of hogwarts with like a different view of the grounds....I don't know maybe that's the DeathlyHallows.or godrics hollow.

I'm curious about these archways that are on both children's covers. Not the death chamber.. the veiled archway.. perhaps their search for a horcrux took them back to the Dept of Misteries.... I can't se a veil.. but would that explain the mysterious shadowy people on the US version? Are they the 'voices' beyond the veil?

YES, FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! I'm so mad at myself that I didn't know before now, but the covers are awesome!!! The U.K. one looks really weird though, like the trio broke into the Taj Mahal, lol. The U.S. one is good too, though it doesn't give away much, and the adult version's cover is obviously the locket (side note: what's the difference between the adult and the children's versions anyway?)

is it just me or is the US cover missing Harry's scar?!?!

ok totally forgot to mention did anyone else see a goblet in dat pic (of harry "robbing gringotts" ahaha) and in the US version harry's wearing a necklace...could it be RAB's necklace?!?!? and the veil...could it posibbly be sirius (loving him) coming back!!!!? and prongs on the side...yay prongs!!! and harry has GREEN eyes ppl and y is ron blonde!?!?! ok got to sleep!!! lyl lyl

OMG Micah asked for the cover.. and he got it !!! its gorgey :)

Nokomis_Snape, you are talking rubbish, aren't you?

someone said earlier that Harry doesn't have his scar on the cover it's there, you have to look really close to see it

Wow, this story has gotten almost a thousand posts so far! Has there ever been this many before? One observation on the U.S version, does anyone else see in the sky one of clouds or in one of the clearings in the clouds the shape of a lightening bolt? Maybe I am just seeing things.

Wait just a minute! On the US cover- There are definitely veils tied back in both sides of the foreground of the picture! This seals it for me!! They are inside the veiled archway in the Dept of Misteries Death Chamber. I'M LOVIN' IT!!!

I SEE DOBBY!!! but i dont see the clouds forming an H or a lightning bolt!!! omg im going sooooooooooo crazy,,,,,, i LOVE the colors in UK version!!! ok im finally off for the final time!!!! yay HP!!!!!! lyl lyl

I see a dolphin cloud in the US version...

Wow, having expected a darker cover, this was a complete shock at first....but amazing nonetheless. What does it mean? Why don't they have wands?!?!?! Where are they? Ah! And why is the storyline on the jacket of the UK version?

Wtf is harry and voldermort staging a play or something on the US one. Whats with the curtins?

Don't worry, Clean0002. I saw the lightning bolt too. Faint, but there. And guys. There IS a scar on Harry's forhead, as Kurarinetto said- you just have to look closely. It looks like part of his hair.

YAY FOR MARY GRANDPRE!!!!!

comment #936! How appalling OH MY GOSH I got tears when I saw this!!! Its so sad, thats the last Harry Potter Book guys!!!!!!!!! But I am most happy that the TRIO are on the cover. Which of them will make it? I thought gringotts too... How wonderful :)

I see many things in the clouds but no H or lightning bolt. Mainly, I'm just seeing troll faces in the clouds *has gone crazy from examining covers*. I see Dobby behind Harry in the U.K. version, but what is that snake in globe thingy? Has Harry somehow managed to trap Nagini in a glass ball?

it sort of looks like theyre in heaven doesnt it? maybe thats just me? and yeah voldy does look sort of scaredish and not determined. but harry looks sort of happy. which is a good thing i guess. but their wands are gone. maybe harry beats up voldy and then, voldy dies. psh i wish it was that easy. i wont be able to sleep for about 3 days before the book comes out. uhgg. and i think the cover is beatiful. and the people in the background, they are witnessing it, so more people have seen him now then. and whats the random broken wood and the rock mean?

Ok, from my first impressions of this cover, it seems Harry is in a very public arena, like a colosseum. He stands with his hand outstretched as if victorious or perhaps waving his last goodbye to the world. In any way, maybe Harry knows what he has to do, and he is prepared to do it. Maybe the final battle will be in front of everyone. I don't know why it would, but it does look like a Colosseum in the background and a croud watching him. Maybe he can call Voldemort out. Or Voldemort calls him out. No one can help, but the world can watch the final battle take place. Maybe the deathly Hallows are like a place where wizards can go to duel to the death?

omg im actually crying that this is the last hp book im so excited and sad!!!!!!!but the cover art is awsome...

The UK cover is very interesting! where do you guys think it's taking place?

Ohhhh goodness. This is one of the LAST big HP news. ='(. so freaking sad. but the cover is GORGEOUS! ahh, Harry looks really handsome and well-created.. the colors and everything... fantastic job, to Mary Grandpre. I'm definately pleased. =D Whee!

I have never like the American versions, I think since GoF, the British (and for me Australian) versions are much better.... I suppose everyone likes their own ... I hope to collect the American versions one day all the same! It wil be the next most exciting thing after reading all the British versions 20 times each. ;)

I love it!, and they're all on the cover! Of the uk one that is! I think the adult cover looks kind of eerie tho..does it give anyone else the creeps? Or is that just me?

wow wow wow that's really great. the UK version kind of just looks like a stupid adventure book...but I loveeee the US one. its my background :]

ehh ths us version is kinda bleh but it makes you wonder... great another thing to keep us on edge..
