HP cover art released.

In an effort to avoid an HPOD I've been trying very, very hard to avoid most of the press.  I've been doing pretty well, too.  So I don't feel too bad about backsliding a bit.

Have you seen the full, wrap-around version of the cover. THAT'S discussion worthy.

[Leila]

This, you mean? Yep.

I admit to spending way, way, way too much time moving the little magnifier around. Simple minds...

[Brian F.]

Does it kind of look to you like they're not, you know, fighting? Like they're working together?

[Leila]

You're totally right.

I can't believe that didn't occur to me.

You know, I really had thought I wasn't curious about How It Will All End (assuming Neville lives, I mean), but now...

What if Voldemort is A Good Man, Simply Misunderstood? Or, even better, what if Harry Goes Bad???

[Edit: my coworker just say that she thinks it looks like Voldemort is trying to do something and Harry is trying to prevent it -- which works, too. Dammit.]

[jessmonster]

I'd prefer to agree with your coworker. Where ARE they? There don't seem to be as many tiny details as usual.

[jessmonster]

And what on earth is going on in that middle cover? Exploding gold and jewels? Swordfighting?

[Leila]

Yeah, I usually like the British covers, but this one just looks silly. I like the British grown-up cover, though.

I dunno -- HP goes to Rome?

[Shrieky]

Yah the British cover looks pretty lame

[Brian F.]

But if Harry was trying to stop him, wouldn't they be facing off?

It's just weird.

[Leila]

But one has his hand up while the other has his hand down. I can definitely see it both ways.

[Faithful Reader from Canada]

Which is the cover that we'll get in Canada?

[Leila]

I think that you guys get the British cover, but I could be wrong.
