| | |  Deluxe Edition Deathly Hallows cover art
The Today Show this morning unveiled the cover art for the Deluxe Edition of Deathly Hallows. The cover shows Harry, Ron and Hermione flying on the back of a dragon.   Quote:
“Set during a highly dramatic sunset, Harry, Hermione, and Ron--clothes in tatters--cling atop a flying dragon in this astonishing artwork created by Mary GrandPré for the deluxe edition. As mist creeps down towering hillsides to a village below, questions arise about where the trio is headed and what has led them to this spellbinding moment."
To see the cover art and box in hi-res, go HERE and HERE.
For a closer look, you can study the artwork under a magnifying glass here courtesy of Scholastic.
This edition of the book will cost $65, with a print-run of only 100,000. | |

ZOMG I love it. I've always loved the Duluxe cover art.
This one seems rather cheerful compared to the other one  Are they in their dress robes? Are we to assume (from what they are wearing) that Ron & Hermione go back to Hogwarts & Harry doesn't?
Is that a Hungarian Horntail?
The sky is orange.. same orange as the other cover?
....I should probably go examine it before asking questions XD
P.S. this is IT huh? No more art. ...*is incredibly depressed*

 I'm not sure I like it. They do look like they are in dress robes.

So many questions and not enough space to post them!! The one thing i am going to say, and i agree with Rovie is does this mean Ron and Hermione go back to Hogwarts and Harry doesn't? Also why the hell are they flying a dragon??? After GoF I don't see how they are going to beable to get onto the back of a dragon and stay there without falling of or getting eaten! I think that i should go for a closer look... Nicola EDIT: Quote:

OMG Norbert!! That could so be true!!! Okay really need to go look at it closely now!

It almost looks as if the trio is being whisked away from a fight! Their clothes tattered....Hermione almost lying down....is she injured or is it her fear of flying? SO many questions!!!!! I already have this Deluxe Edition ordered!!!!

YES! I agree with Norbert.
It's really interesting to see how Mary Grandpre's art has evolved throughout HP For example, check out the cover of PoA, which is similar to this cover. It's like the style of her art becomes more 'mature' as the trio matures. Aaaaawww, super awww.
..it's interesting to me anyways XD haha *art geek*

Are they going to Romania? That doesn't seem likely. But I bet it's Norbert! That would be a nice way to connect 7 back to 1. Love it! -runs to look at magnifying glass page-

Wow. *tear* It's so awsome!!

Ron and Hermione look worried but Harry looks so determined.
And are Ron and Hermione wearing Hogwarts robes?
*goes here* | |

OMG... so many questions:
-Is the dragon Norbert?
-Why are Harry's robes diferent?
-The village is Hogsmeade or Godric's Hollow, or none of them?
- Why does Ron and Hermione look scared but Harry doesn't?
Well, we'll just have to wait *goes to desktop to see the countdown* 42 days to know how it all ends...
Awww....I don't want it to end... but I want to know how it ends.... gosh i'm confused

Aww, Norbert's getting old if it is him
And I defo agree about the robes... so maybe Harry doesn't go back to Hogwarts. Not much of a surprise there, but I still kinda wanted him to. | |

OMG! It's gorgeous! And quite interesting the clues we are given.
The dragon looks a little like Norbert, don't you think?

WOW

thats certainly interesting
I would be willing to bet that the Dragon is Norbert from PS
Bringing Norbert back is something JKR would defantly do.

anyways i absolutely ADORE the artwork and i think Mary Grandpre is extremely talented. she puts so much detail into her artwork and personally i think this is the best cover for any HP BOOK(US and UK versions 
). I also think that the dragon must be Norbert becasue i dont think any other dragon would let them ride on it
i cant believe that the final installment of Harry Potter will be out in just over a month!
i already preordered the Deluxe edition three times...just to make sure i get one
