| | |  HBP cover art revealed!
The covers for ' Half-Blood Prince', the sixth book in the Potter series which will be released on July 16th, have been revealed. Scholastic have revealed the US cover designed by Mary Grandpre and Bloomsbury have revealed the childs cover, designed by Jason Cockcroft and the adult cover based on a photograph by Michael Wildsmith.
The US cover shows Harry and Dumbledore standing over what appears to be a pensieve. The British childs cover shows Harry and Dumbledore stood in circles of fire, with their wands raised. The adult cover features a photograph of a book called "Advanced Potion-Making," by Libatius Borage. View all three covers here UPDATE:
HUGE (And I mean over 300 kb huge!) High-res versions of the above pictures can now be seen in our image gallery courtesy of HPANA. HIGH-RES US Half-Blood Prince Cover HIGH-RES UK Child Half-Blood Prince Cover HIGH-RES UK Adult Half-Blood Prince
Articles about the cover release can be found at MSNBC, The Times of London, CBBC Newsround, Sky Showbiz, Northwest Herald, CBS, Seattle Times and The Daily Mirror.
MSNBC:- Quote:
“It’s a challenge to take a character ... and make sure he ages correctly and make sure he looks like he would look if he were to get a year older,” she told The Associated Press. “I feel like I’m his mom, I comb his hair or I mess it up, I make sure he looks good before he goes out the door.”
Quote:
“It’s like a candy store for an illustrator,” she said. “I connected with Harry pretty quickly and loved the way J.K. described everything; she’s such a visually thinking person. You can’t pass that up.”
The Times of London:- Quote:
Brandishing their wands, Harry - whose Quidditch playing appears to have contributed to a muscular adolescent physique - and his bearded headmaster stand in the centre of a ring of magical flame.
Afficiandos of over school-leaving age can preserve a facade of literary respectability by investing in the adult version, more soberly adorned with a photograph by Michael Wildsmith. It shows a battered copy of Advanced Potion Making, suggesting Harry is in line for more bruising lessons from hated potions master Snape.
Quote:
"There is no trace of that storyline (HBP) left in Chamber of Secrets. People have been speculating that book six is a spin-off of book two, but it is not."
CBBC Newsround:- Quote:
The adult cover shows a text book called Advanced Potion Making.
This hints that Harry does indeed get at least an Outstanding in his OWLS and goes on to study for a NEWT in Potions - a qualification he needs if he wishes to become an Auror.

I definitely think Seamus is the HBP because in the first movie, as you see everyone eating, Seamus says (something along the lines of) "Me dad's a muggle, mum's a witch. Bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out." I think there was a purpose for putting that in there but that could just be me.
That whole snapping back and forth with Harry and Seamus in OOTP seemed to foreshadow a little, but then again that could just be me.

The cover is awsome, that's all I have to say and I was thinking how the cover's green for the U.S. version and Harry's eyes are green what's up with that?

Is that Dumbledore's pensieve thing that they are standing over??
The one cover with the flames around Dumbledore and Harry looks like Dumbledore's protecting them from something or somethings. Maybe that is during a battle between Dumbledore's army and Voldemort's.

ok i just woke up... (when i always have wierd ideas) and i thought of hp and i thought back to how harry always feels like sumone is watching him. maybe its him
or dumbledore from the pensieve and he can sort of sense it.
Or maybe that made no sense...im optomistic.

It looks like the 6th book is going to be a good one. My guess has to be on either Dumbledore or Voldemort to be the Half Blood Prince.I hope it is going to be as good as the last 5 books. Im so excited that is finally coming out. I hope jk has some great surprises in store for us.  | |

Hhm, I'm not sure which I like best. The US cover fits in nicely with the style of OOTP, but the childs cover is much more exciting! I like the adult cover, too ... but I don't think I'd ever buy it. It just doesn't fit with my vision of HP books. It does make nice wallpaper, though.

Hmmm. I like all of them, but I think the green one is the best. I think they're all good, but this one caught my eye the most. I think my favorite cover so far though has been the fifth one. I like how the letters are written and how the picture is. That's just me though.
