Well the last one was bound to be emotional, and specially for all of us avid fans who have loved Harry Potter over the years, the last one would've been emotional knowing that this is the last one.

I would like to know that too,........as to who it is.

And I liked the Bloomsbury covers, specially the adult one. Think I wanna get that :)

I'm soo excited! I think DH will be the best and I'm bound to be sobbing my way through it as well. After all it is soo very bitter sweet - we'll get the answer's to our questions but at the cost of this book being the last in the series!

I really like all of the covers - I think the UK one is the most interesting. I wonder how they will relate to the final story.

The US version looks like Harry is in a Colosseum type place. It looks like Voldemort and Harry are both reaching up for something, too. And their is a curtain on either side of the picture and broken wood in the fore ground. I can't tell if the shadows in the background near the arches are people's heads or grave stones. Could they be at the graveyard in Godric's Hollow?

The Adult version is obviously Salazar Slythern's Locket.

The UK version looks like the trio falling through a tunnel into a treasure room. The tri looks pretty banged up - either from the fall or a previous fight. Ron seems to be holding Godric Gryffindor's sword. Hogwarts is on the back cover. The inside front cover has Harry's patronus and the inside back cover has a sperent in a globe...Nagini maybe?

From the description on the book jacket we learn that the Order will be escourting Harry from Privett Drive to the Weasley's I'm assuming for Bill & Fluer's wedding.

I'm really excited! only 114 days to go!!!!

wow the covers say alot it looks like the veil (with lots of money) :) in the english version and a big stadium or fgrounds area in the US one then something of slytherins in the UK adult...hmmmm.....
WOOHOOOO!!!!

Ohhh !... That interview really made me upset...:( Will Harry really die ?!

P.S. I simply loved both covers. ;) :D

No he's not; looks like there's a house elf clinging onto Harry who has it.

I wonder what that is around Harry's neck...

My anger has still not subsided since seeing the UK cover over an hour ago. I am sooo buying the adult edition.

Yes ! I see it too, now ! A sort of creature holds Harry by his shoulder ! Could this be Kreacher ?! Or Dobby helping Harry ?! :blink: I can't wait until July !!! :cry::cry::cry:

I'm ordering both UK adult and children's version. Again. LOL.

And come on..Just GIVE us the book already! I need to know who dies *dies* Is it Ron? If it is, I'm gonna get soooo angry.

*is too excited to make any sense*

EDIT: And it's going to be Orange! Woohoo!

And the article is wrong.. At the end it says the release date is the 12th, but it's the 21st..

Oh dear me! The covers are absolutely expectacular! :D I wonder what's the meaning beyond them... *thinks*

:faint:AHHH! I can't take it anymore! Give me the book Rowling!!
*cough* Sorry, just yelling at my computer.. anyway,
Great Cover!
But Harry looks really old and what are Ron and Hermione wearing? Is it cloaks? besides that , Great Cover! [again] :hourglass:

The US cover art is different from the usual cover art. I loved both covers. In the UK version, however, did anyone besides myself notice that there seemed to be a house-elf with a sword- that looked like Godric Gryffindor's sword from the second book- in his hand, he was on Harry's back. It looked like Creature, not Dobby because of the hand and the skin wasn't like Dobby's. Then again it might be a new house-elf. I only saw it because I clicked on the large version.

I absolutly love it! It is wonderful! At first I wasn't sure, but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. It grows on you, kind of like the title :)

Wow, I'm telling you, good old J.K. has really given us a run for her money, hasn't she? I still have the very strong feeling that Harry is going to die in this book, I'm sorry to say it, but I just see that coming. I really hate to say it, but my intuition is usually pretty good. I hope I'm wrong, but we will see!

*screams* It looks so incredibly awesome!:bugeyes: Must...have...

oh my word I'm going to be bawling like a little baby when I get the book in my hand, in front of thousands of people at that! Seriously the covers looks amazingly amazing spectacularily stupendous! I'm oiung to buy the bloomsbury ones defintly, they look much darker than the other ones, though I just may go and buy all of them :lol:

I really like the us cover and the adult version however im not about the uk version i think i need to get used to it. Im worried now, i dont want Harry to die :( I was sad reading the 6th book because i thought it was 1 away from the end so in the last book im gonna be bawling.

LOVE IT.

Very simple yet really cool.

The cover is gorgeous.

so much mistery, :x

can't wait to have it in my hands!!

I like the UK adult one the best.

I don't know why but the US cover looks like it maybe be at the ministry and the same veil Sirius fell through. We'll see, someone saying they sobbed reading it that's no surprise I sobbed at everyone starting with GOF.

wow..the UK covers look amazing...but i can't get the US cover to come up on my computer...oh well i guess i will try to get it up on another computer

I'm so excited. I've decided that after book seven comes out I'm going to make it my task to get all 14 UK releases and then dedicate a room of my house to them

The cover art for the adult UK version looks amazing.

I can't believe it's almost done ... *sniffles* Rupert ... hold me ... *cries*
 

:faint:OMG!! I really can't wait now, i like the us version, and both the uk versions! And i am so going to cry through most of DH, oh well!:P
Nicola

I've been waiting so long and now I'm not sure I want the end to come :-( But i am very excited!!

Wow, the British one is ... weird .... Though I really like the US version.

Wow. The UK edition is just ... weird. Though I really like the US version.

Whoa, the US cover looks Amazing! I really am liking it, with Harry in a colloseum-type place... But it's kinda interesting as both him and Voldemort aren't facing each other, but something on the far right... I wonder what. Hmm... Maybe they're together, or watching something beyond the norm.

The UK Child cover looks, interesting? It kinda stands out as some kind of anime/manga thing, especially with their hair. I'll still be getting that one, but humm... I just find this one weird. But I've got to admit, I find the snake in a ball thing interesting... Something to do with the Death Eaters, maybe?

Quote:

Bloomsbury have also announced that the book will be 608 pages long.

*Cries* So that's a 176 page difference between UK and US. That's almost the whole of Philosopher's Stone.

I am so tempted to buy the US one now. I mean, how much stuff can they miss out? Unless one has the text printed at a larger font?

OH. MY. GOD. *goes into moment of silence*

it looks sooooo good.

I really like the U.S. version. It's better than the Half Blood Prince cover imo.

I luv the covers, they are sooooooooooooo awsome!:heart2:

I like all of the verisons and I can't wait to get them:techni: :techni:

I saw the US one on the today show this morning. And all I could think was, either its happening in Hogwarts itself, the Ruins of Gordric's Hollows, or it could be the ministry...who knows it might happen somewhere we all know, and trust, the final fight that is.

Yeah my mom told me, I was getting ready for school about to eat breakfast and just ran in mouth dropping like HARRY POTTER SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! And Yeah, I personally like the British cover, of the locket more than the one for the American Cover, but they are all brilliant.

Yeah i think it might be at godrics hallow, it might even be at harry's mum and dads old house. But then again, it could also be the ministry. But im leaning more towards the godrics hallow thing. Unless we're totally wrong

yeah the locket looks at lot better and more, eerie in a way. But i like it because i know the reason for it hehehe. but the other two are good though. They really make you think hard. :)

OMG! I normally buy the Bloomsbury children's version but it just died. That cover is so awful. At least the story is what we all want not the cover.

i love the US version and the and the childrens version with the locket!!

i like the us one alot!!

Ooooooooooh, Lord...I'm TOTALLY going to get the US version!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!

Totally going to cry.

Love it!

Ooooh I liked the adult's edition best!
The US kids edition is sort of... yellowish, and I didn't really like that, and the UK version is sort of odd... I mean they're all cover in what seems like gold and jewlery and they looked as though they had just exploded off somewhere.
What I really liked about the US book cover is the dark figure on the back (I'm guessing it's Voldie), he looks really cool! ^_^

Yay! More DH news! :D

oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i will not cry when i read this, i will dry my eyes out ^_^

Omg! They look incredible!! I so cannot wait, i love the U.S. edition, it wasn't how i expected it at all, but it still looks amazing :yes:

Aww, man. This is fantastic seeing the new covers (what is up with the UK kids ed.? I think I'm buying the Adult ed. this time 'round :blink:), and the blurbs and I'm getting more and more excited by the minute; but my god is it an almighty tug on the heart-strings. It's so close. The end. No more theories, no more midnight parties outside bookshops (apart from when DH is released obviously).

Finally knowing everything, an end; but after that, no more *sigh*

I think I might have to start buying in the Kleenex now so I've got enough in time for July :cry:

i cannot wait until the book comes out now. I think the UK ones look the best but i guess they all look ok. The US one kind of looks a bit boring :(

Ooh, I love the U.S one...

This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo excitin. I'm so jealous of Levine who got to read the book already and knows what happens at the end. Can't wait. All the covers are very intriguing.

UK one (Kids version) Looks um. Crap...

Love the others though.

:woot: Awesome!! I kind of like the UK version better, but the I love the illustration of Harry on the US cover.
The covers aren't actually what I expected... I expected something more flashy and colorful or more gloomy.
I don't know. I would like to know Marie Grand Pre's (sp?) inspiration for the cover. :hmm:

haha! hrmy_lvr_4evr spelled out my reaction exactly! :lol:

I want the adult cover,but im ok with the children's it looks cool.Im for sure going to cry at the end of the book im getting a bit sad right now just thinking about it.I mean the end had to come sometime,but Im still sad.I guess were all going to have to say good-bye to Harry:bye: ,but I felt the moment was to soon

i watched that this morning, on the today show!
but i thought it was ron that died? i sure hope not...

If you look closely behind harry (Children's cover) you will see Dobby. With a sword. I hope Dobby doesn't die!!!!

^_^ ^_^ cool^_^ ^_^

I love all the versions. :loved: I'm buying them all.

Ok,can someone tell me what's the difference between the children's and adult's versions of the books???Is it more violent or...?????????

I LOVE them, they are awesome!

The covers are so great.I really want the book now.

o.m.g.l.o.v.e.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no difference between the two except the cover art. The cover art for the adult version is more mature.

In the U.S. Version doesn't it look like Harry is wearing a locket around his neck. It's not well defined but I think it might be Slytherin's locket.

Sorry if someone has already pointed this out.

No offense, but the British kids edition is...well...kinda funny? But what is that locket? Is this the same one everyone is talking about?

On the childrens version. There is obviously a house elf on Harry's back holding what we are assuming to be the sword of Godric Gryffindor.

Theory here:

We all know that Dobby will protect Harry at any cost pretty much and I was wondering what in the world is a house elf doing in the assumed final battle. Well I was thinking that he went to save the trio and the sword was actually a port key which transported them to somewhere unknown giving them the look of falling or lunging in mid air and to safety after Voldemort is defeated and the Deatheaters attack more vehemently for their slain master.

I don't know just my thoughts trying to figure out any way to see that Harry doesn't die. (I'm reading way to much into these covers aren't I?)

that's sucks, but that art is sooooo dam* cool!!

pardon me if this has already been stated before....
-for one if you look close enough there happens to be a locket or necklace around harry's neck
- Second of all this just is a theory of mine... could the room that they are in be the room in the DoM where the veil is located? There seems to be curtains at the bottom corners of the page? However it does seem to be located outside which defeats that threory

Whatever the matter is..i think that it is a very smart cover..very interesting especially the color and the scene depicted

well i love the covers thank goodness...they actually give me hope its a lighter colored cover considering how drak and excuse me depressing the other covers are which seem to foreshadow the book i am holding out for home and it looks like voldy is shrinking back in the picture...maybe? i hope so

as for characters who could die i think it could be many others besides harry since we like all the characters right?

I personally am telling myself that harry is going to die to prepare myself
if he does die i will know it (and still throw the book across the room) if not i will jump up and down scream and cry tears of happiness

The covers are great! I just love them!
However, I'm not that happy right now. I feel like I shouldn't read the book, but I should. (you know what that means, right?)
If the "somebody" does die, it's going to be like everything's over. Even when it isn't. I'm really depressed about that.
I hope everything will be okay, and everybody will feel okay, when everybody reads the final of the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

God I cant wait for this book any longer. Is it me or doest the US version make it look like Voldemort and Harry seem to be working with each other? Or they could be summoning something. I don't really get the childrens UK version, if this is suppose to be an emotional book, why does it look so comedic?

oo i love the locket!! hehe

aww is the last one :( so sad! but yay book haha

cool!
