Covers for final Harry Potter book revealed · 2007-03-29 12:55
Scholastic and Bloomsbury, publishers of the wildly popular Harry Potter fantasy novel series, have revealed the covers for the final tome in the saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Scholastic, publisher of the U.S. edition, once again enlisted artist Mary GrandPre to create their cover. The artwork appears to feature Harry and Lord Voldemort facing off in an arena-like setting against an orange-tinted sky. Their body language suggests that they’re trying to control something using magic, but neither are holding a wand.
UK publisher Bloomsbury is, as usual, releasing a children’s cover and an adult cover.
The grown-up version features a photograph of Salazar Slytherin’s locket, one of the remaining horcruxes.
The cover of the UK kid edition shows the leading trio in a state of distress surrounded by a mountain of treasure.
We’ll all be able to connect the dots on all these things when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows arrives on July 21.
