The Deluxe Edition Cover Art for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows US edition is right here!
The box art is here!
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!
Whoa! Could the dragon be Aberforth? You made an interesting point about the grey hair. Maybe that explains the whited out eyes.
I don't know - I never pictured Aberforth the animagus type. Maybe it's more since Dumbledore once hinted that he wasn't sure his brother actually knew how to read.
Of course, Harry could have two green shirts.
What is Harry wearing ... something made from fur or dragon hide?
wow! thanks for the high def pics, sooo much better than the magnifier on the Scholastic page... that made me dizzy! This is really amazing!!
I was just on JK's website, and the room with the locked door, has the view of the same type of houses that is displayed on the cover art. Interesting...
It's funny. I did a Google Images search for "mountains albania", and the first result comes from the Lexicon!!!! http://www.hp-lexicon.org/atlas/gazetteer/gazetteer-a.html It looks like the cover art!
It's seems more an Antipodean Opaleye (the scales, the no puplis...) but... why an Opaleye in UK? Or why the trio in New Zeland or Australia?
Those so-called fields sort of look like a big cemetary and that would make sense because it is near the church, and the part above the fields/cemetary could be where the Riddle House is but this is assuming the fields are a cemetary which I doubt.
Am I the only one, who finds Hermione's position to be somewhat odd? It looks, as if she were lying on the dragon.
By the way: Here's my guess. The dragon is Norbert, and that's why the Trio is allowed to ride on him.
holy molly!!! A DRAGON!!!!!! :D :D :D I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks its Norbet :p
Anybody notice the waterfall on the right side and the bridge?
