This morning NBC's Today Show featured a first look at the cover of the Special Deluxe Edition Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. According to the official Today show blog, this edition with a print run of 100,000 copies, will retail for $65 and contain 816 pages. Arthur Levine, US editor of the Harry Potter books, is noted in the article as saying that the Special Edition cover art is from one of his favorite scenes in the book, and was an image he specifically asked to be featured on the Deluxe cover. Scholastic Vice President and Creative Director, David Saylor describes the scene as:
“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."
Update: The Harry Potter Scholastic website now features the Deluxe Edition cover art as well as the option to explore, up close, this amazing new cover.
We also now have available the high res images of this new cover as well as the Deluxe Edition packaging!

Thanks to afakasi!
Unicorn - I didn't even notice that. That is way cool.
Medicine bag/pouch, I thout that he was wearing the slytherin locket
So much for the theory of Ginny tagging along?
Should we assume that they visit Ron's brother Charlie in Romania, therby getting Norbert. Maybe Ginny does go along, but then remains behind with Charlie? Hmm...
43 days and we shall know :)
Wow, that's so interesting. I wonder what dragon it is?
Looks like Norbet is coming back then ?? :P
OMG that looks so cool! Squee! Can't wait!
By now the slip of the pen has been mentioned several times, but seeing the good news I should rather like to compliment you on the good work and not take a tiny mistake that is easily corrected too seriuosly.
Thanks Leaky!
EEEK! I want to have that book in my hands so I can bury myself in my bed for a week, reading like a thousand times!
The closer it gets, and the more info we get, the more excited I get!!! I may not be able to breathe by July 21st!
I knew norbert was coming back! I predicted this in my deathly hallows prediction quiz. At least I think it's norbert...anyway, i think that harry, ron, and hermione are flying over godric's hallow, it has to be! You can clearly see that their clothes are all torn. I love the description of the cover!
It doesn't surprise me that Harry befriends Norbit, as he is a powerful wizard which will be shown finally in the last book.
I think there will be alot of surprises ,to some,
where Harry is concerned!!!!
What a gorgeous cover!
I want this BOOK!
OMG OMG OMG! Here we go for the last time. Sob....
Baby Norbert, my oh my, how he's grown! Unless it's the nasty Hungarian horntail...
I wonder whether this scene is the escape from Gringrotts or whatever the place is on the UK kids cover. Hmmmm.....
This is so exciting!!!!
I wonder if Harry is able to speak to the dragon via parseltongue as well? They didn't actually show the cover, I take it? Can't see it.
