   I don’t know. I don’t hate this one, but I don’t much like it either.

   The UK edition is somewhat more appealing to me. Still, though, it seems like they could have done a better job.

   I agree with you completely. They should have left it as it was with the plain black mock up. I just think that this one looks stupid.

   I like it! I do prefer the UK one, all of those are better. This one gives away what (or where) the Deathly Hallows is. Anybody else figure it out?

   I don’t hate it, but it’s… really awfully bland.

   pffttt on the cover.

   the question is, are you worried about being disappointed in the book?

   Sandy, when I first saw the cover, I thought of the Roman Colosseum. But I’m sure that’s not it.

   It also looks like a Quidditch field to me. LOL. Where do you think it is? What am I missing?

   Sparky…I’m not afraid of being disappointed in the book, mainly because I know Rowling has had this planned since the beginning. So she’s been heading in this direction all along. I’m confident she’ll pull it off with flying colors.

   I haven’t read The Half-Blood Prince yet (although I’ve heard about the whole who-dies thing). I intend to start from the beginning and re-read all of them, and then HBP, starting in May or June so I can bang through them all and then sink in to the Deathly Hallows.

   Quixotic, I saw the UK one and liked it too. There’s also another cover, called “the adult version” (whatever that means) that I think is the best of the three…it’s black and has a Slytherin locket on the front cover.

   It’s here: http://www.laineygossip.com/pics/harry%20last%20cover.jpg

   I actually liked the full cover image, seen here:

   Taken as a whole its really not that bad. The way they presented it is, though.

   I think the cover depicts the tiered seating in the basement of the Ministry of Magic where Harry & co. fought the death eaters at the end of OoTP. The flowing curtains are on the gateway that Sirius fell through. What do you think?

    I never cared for any of the covers, US or UK. But I DO so love what’s inside

    I actually like all three covers. Since ours is already pre-ordered it will probably be the one you show. I think I’ll give that one to my daughter and try to order the locket one for me.

    LOL XD

    I agree. The ‘black cover’ was rather nice compared to this yellowish… thing… Well, whatever, I only hope the book doesn’t suck like the cover! I’m waiting anxiously to read it. I hope I won’t get disappointed…
