Thanks to HarryPotter-Es.Net!

Neat covers. Ooh. I so wish that I could speak Bulgarian right now! :lol:

very awsome :D
im always intrigued by the way the artists portray the books in their arts.
Im guessing the rabbit in the first picture is about Rabbity Babbity (not sure its correct...)?

But i hope that in sweden we will be able to buy the book with the original cover, like the second one.
Makes me feel less isolated from the HP community :lol:

I don't understand the illustration for the Japanese one.

Those covers are kool. I like the Japanese one but like French_December don't really understand what it's about.

The illustration for Japanese one is........I do not understand it!

Weird ^_^

Cool artwork! :D It must be something to do with Babbity Rabbity!

I like it! :D

nice ;P

Not sure about the Japanese cover.....

lovely pics)

Nice cover cant wait!!!!!

That is an interesting version of what I assume is Babbity Rabbity, I never thought of her as that big. The Bulgarian one is just like the UK one just with different text on it.

^ That's Exactly what I Thought When I Looked at the Bulgarian Version as well! Both are Nice But They Aren't My Favorite.

Aint fussed on the Japenese cover.

I like the Bulgarian cover:)

interesting!

Babbity Rabbity? It looks so cool! Who's the guy with the ax? i can't wait until ToBtB comes out!!!!!!

Those are interesting.

Those are a little weird (just the one with Babbity Rabbity actually)

I'm looking forward to reading that book. Should I wait until someone gives me the book for Christmas or should I buy it sooner? hum!

not too keen

I don't like the japanese cover is like...scary

and the bulgarian is basically the same but with letters I don't understand, I wish I'd understand bulgarian

the japanese book cover kind of looks funny.

I.MUST.HAVE.BOOK.NOW!!! so little time to go till it goes out..but i might not get it till Jan.!

Thanks for the UpDated Posters!

Nice!

I don't really like the first one :P. The rest are cool though.

Still like the US one the best:P...but i think they all look cool...but the collectors edition is just pure awesome so worth 100 bucks:D

really don't like them too childish
