| | UK & US Deathly Hallows cover art revealed
Bloomsbury and Scholastic have unveiled the cover art for Deathly Hallows, the last book in the Harry Potter series. Vote on your favorite cover here Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, U.S. edition (left), U.K. children's (right) Deathly Hallows U.S. full version Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, U.K. adult edition The UK covers (both kid and adult edition) can be seen at Bloomsbury.com. They include the blurb and the jacket sleeves. Further to that, Bloomsbury have also announced that the book will be 608 pages long.
The blurbs read; Quote:
Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing - if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him?
Quote:
Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him...
Arthur Levine, the US editor, revealed the US cover art on the Today show. Watch the unveiling here. Quote:
"We're seeing Harry in a very interesting situation. Readers will find out exactly what the situation is," said Levine, who admitted he cried as he read the book.
When asked about the possibility of Harry dying; Quote:
Levine held his ground, saying only, "We do know that someone's going to die."
Quote:
"When I was reading it, I had both the excitement and the power of the book, and the plot, driving me forward. But I was also feeling a little sad. It's the last time."
When Levine admitted he "sobbed and sobbed" while reading the book, Vieira made a valiant-but-failed final effort to get Levine to disclose whether Harry Potter is finally done in by Lord Voldemort.
"That means someone we like dies, doesn't it?" Vieira prodded.
"Well, it means it is a very, very emotional book," Levine said.
Check out an interactive version of the U.S. cover at Scholastic.

I like the Us Version and British Adult Version, but the person whoever did the artwork on the British children's version is horrible. They gave Harry buckteeth and I know for a fact that Harry doesn't have buckteeth.

Hmmm In my humble opinion, it may have something to do with Gringott's bank...
All this gold on the cover - and it seems to be so obvious! Wanna keep something safe? Put it in your private vault :p

Just can't wait for the release of the final book. For sure, it's gonna be a book full of emotions. Anyway, the UK version's cool, as well as the US version.

I already bought the Adult Version one, and I think it looks incredible!
I just CAN'T WAIT to read the seventh.
The point is that I want, but do not want it to finish!
I don't know. I'm mad ;D

Well, than for me, I am missing every version. Like, I am from India, and I have no special version for my country. But, the thing is, there are all version which are shipped to India, to buy. So, I think I am realy lucky. By the way, I do like the Adult version cover page. The one I like the least is the coverpage which features just Harry.
