| | |  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 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.

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!  | |

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  ), 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

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  | |

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.

or fainting. I really love the US version its simple but you can still feel the emotion you know what i mean? in the US one it looks like theyre both reaching out for something i wonder what it could be...maybe the last horcrux?! i also love the adult UK version i really like that theyre actual photos and the locket looks really pretty!
is that supposed to be Harry, Ron and Hermione on the kids version? i wonder whats with all the gewls and jewelry
overall i think these are my faveorite cover out of all the HP books though i really liked thhe sixth one
and i love the shade of orange they made the US version thats a first and its really beutiful!!!
