The art for the last installment of the series has been reveled; check them out here: US Version: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/dhus UK Children's Version: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/dhuk Late last night I looked at them carefully and these were my conclusions about the same: The UK Children's version is more revealing than the US one. Again, here are the links to what I am referring to in my post: (If you click on the pictures you get a larger, more detail of the images) http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/dhus Did you notice that on the back cover Hogwarts seems to look as if it is all surrounded by a white-blue color? Could it be just the reflection of the moon or could it be the Founder's magic surrounding it? 1. What does seem to be accurate is the fact that Voldy has his palm as if rejecting something, while Harry has his palm as if embracing or in acceptance of whatever Voldy is rejecting. 2. Harry's facial expression seem to be of hope and joy, while Voldemort eyes reflect, is that fear??? 3. Harry is wearing a locket on his neck, could it be the infamous Slytherin locket? On the children's cover of the UK version, as I mentioned, seems to be a lot more revealing that the US cover. http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/dhuk I noticed the following: 1. Harry. Ron and Hermione have all seemed to been through a rough patch. All three have lacerations. 2. There is a house-elf whose face cannot be seen, (maybe because they are all smaller beings than humans) who seems to be holding on to Harry, while yielding a sword with a ruby encrusted hilt (Gryffindor's sword??) 3. Ron and Hermione have robes which are most unusual. They seem to be more elaborated than the ones we are used to see use and described by JKR. 4. At first glance you see them all in a vault of place with lots of jewels, gold coins and treasures. It gives the impression as if it were a vault. Possibilities: a- the Black family's Gringott vault b- an Egyptian tomb?? (I've read about this theory in an editorial in Mugglenet) 5. Within the treasures there is an armour with a serpent engraved/embossed on the chest plate. (this particular detail led me to believe it's the Black's family vault). 6. Could the circular seem-like entrance be confirmation of the Black underground vault? 7. In SS, (p 74) we are told that while Harry and Hagrid were riding to Harry's vaults: "...he [Harry] thought he saw a burst of flame at the end of a passage and twisted to see if it was a dragon..." Are the bright yellow and orange colors, possible reflections of the fire dragons breathe? These are, in short, my impressions. What do guys think? |

Wow, those are good ideas. I'm not very good at wrestling intricate theories out of book covers lol. I think that on the inside flap of the UK Children's version, the stag patronus is a really nice piece of art work ^_^ |

Yes, it is. It looks so powerful!!! It's so far the most beautiful image of Harry's Patronus I've seen and had visualized! I wonder if Prongs is one of the "Deathly Hallows?" Did you notice the serpent inside the circular crystal ball? What came to mind was the following sentence from OotP, "Naturally, naturally," murmured Dumbledore apparently to himself, still observing the stream of smoke without the slightest sign of surprise. "But in essence divided?" Harry could make neither head nor tail of this question. The smoke serpent, however, split itself instantly into two snakes, both coiling and undulating in the dark air." (page 470) |

The hands, look at the hands!! Look also at the black curtains which are like drawn back! Could that be "behind the Veil" and Harry is reaching out for his Deathly 'holy" Hallows help ? Could this be the moment in which Harry's love comes to work with him and help him Vanquish Voldemort? |

More than 24 hrs, so I hope I'm not in trouble. No the Adult UK jacket does not give out much. All we can get from it is that the locket is in fact the Slytherin lost locket and the it is resting on top of a stone like surface. That's about it! All I can think of is that maybe the "real" locket is in another cave. That Kreacher may have hid it trying to protect it from Sirius cleaning spree. Many fans think Mundungus stole it and/or now Aberfoth has it. Oh, I hate waiting!!! |

Because kretcher does seem suspesious and shifty eyed. |

I would say for a couple of reasons: 1. While Sirius's decontamination spree was going on in OotP, Kreacher "may" have rescued it if it hit the pile of rubbish Sirius made while cleaning, just as he saved the photo with Bellatrix. 2. If Kreacher loved Regulus, maybe he was the one to go and steal the locket with him. During the cleaning he may have identified it and once Sirius disposed of it, Kreacher picked it up and hid it in his boiler room or in the manor. All we are told is that they tried to open it, but it would not open. That's it. We are not told if it was in fact thrown into the trash pile, or what did they do with it. |

Annie, on the UK Children's cover, you mentioned the snake in the ball. I read the tags, and it said nagini, do you think that it's her? |

That's a good question Firetongue. And I really don't know. It could be a few things; it could be Nagini trapped in a bubble by a spell, or it could be a reference to the part of OotP when Arthur was attacked. Other than that, I have not been able to come up with anything else which would be plausible. I am very positive and sure that if it's on the cover there must be a reason behind it. What appears on the cover arts always have a reference to a particular passage in the books. |
