Does anyone know what the front cover of the American version is supposed to be? I don’t know if I read it too fast or just need more fish oil for my memory!

I'm not sure, but the British Adult version has the Slytherin Locket on it. Don't know about the British kids version, though, I couldn't see the cover very well on Amazonuk.

I'm guessing, considering Harry & Voldie are both there, surrounded by debris and a large number of (silhouetted) onlookers, that it's their final showdown in the great hall, with both of them appealing to the crowd - Harry for them to stand back, Voldie for them to stop having faith in Harry.

It's the final confrontation in the Great Hall. Harry disarms LV with Expelliarmus. They both watch the Elder Wand fly into the air. Harry reaches up to catch it as LV falls backward.

The only difference is that in the book, Harry is holding Draco's wand, and no wands are shown on the cover art. I assume Mary GrandPré left the wands out completely because to show just Harry with a wand would have given too much away.

Check out pg. 743&744.
