Here it is, the cover art for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This post will continue to be updated with links to the art and the text of the summaries. Bloomsbury has also confirmed that the book is 608 pages in their edition.

Links at the article to actual artwork. Too big to post to forum. On the UK cover, Ron carries Gryffindor's sword. I just knew it would figure into "Deathly Hallows." Is it Dumbledore's horcrux?

"Deathly Hallows" artwork ping!

Is it Dumbledore's horcrux?

Now there's an interesting idea. Who did Dumbledore kill to make a Horcrux? It merely says he defeated the last dark wizard to rise. Still, it would explain how he knows so well, and can explain so vividly, what it's like to create one...

OWL POST!

He never said who he killed, but he certainly hinted that he had killed and that it was a terrible thing. After book 6, I've believed that Dumbledore will help Harry search for Horcruxes in book 7, either through his portrait in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts or through a Horcrux.

What better horcrux for the World's Greatest Sorcerer and a Gryffindor than Goderic Cryffindor's sword?

Thanks, RK!

Wow, looks cool...

:-) Thanks, rK! I needed a pick me up.

Wait a minute! There are 7 hands on the UK cover. You can see both of Harry's, both of Hermione's and one of Ron's. There's an elf riding on Harry's back and He's holding the sword! Gotta be Dobby.

What other elf do we know who is so loyal to Harry? Winky's a drunk and although bound to serve Harry for life, Kreacher despises him.

[retrokitten]

I know what you mean! I don't like how Harry looks on the cover, though. He looks like a teenage version of my idiot brother in-law, Larry.

[saveliberty]

LOL

We won't hold that against the book, the actor or the author.

[retrokitten]

LOL!

[saveliberty]

On the other hand, there's a game show in there somewhere. LOL

Prizes to sink Larry in the duck pond. Extra points to have Dr. Jackass scratch his car.

[WV Mountain Mama]

I'm willing to bet that my idiot brother in-law is a much bigger idiot than yours... sadly enough. ;) Well, a$$ would be the better term.

[retrokitten]

Oh Dr. Jackass would do more then scratch his car. She'd probably take a baseball bat to all the headlights and the windows. She's so crazy. Someone called the cops on her the other day (I don't know why) and after they left she was yelling at her 6 year old son about how he should never, ever tell the police the truth under any circumstances.

Do you ever watch "Snapped" on WE or Lifetime or one of those "womyns" channels? It's a true crime show about crazy broads who kill. Well, there was this one story about this REALLY crazy woman who tried to kill her husband and she looked EXACTLY like Dr. Jackass! She's going to be one of those "Black Widow" doctors who kills their patients because they are annoying and want care ALL the time.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Any thoughts on why all the gold? Weren't the goblins getting robbed? What would that have to do with the ending? Hmm. Is that the archway that Sirius fell through in the background?

[retrokitten]

I don't know. Mine is up there with the jerkiest of the jerky. He's in the throws of a midlife crisis so it multiplied his everyday jackassery times 100.

[retrokitten]

My first impression was Harry's vault at Gringott's. On a bit closer look there is a suit of armor in the in the mix. I don't know if that means anything or not.

[saveliberty]

LOL Yikes!

No, I avoid psycho killer movies whereever possible. One day, maybe you and Mr. rK can relocate far away from Dr. Jackass.
