I’ve never been a big of the french covers and this didn’t really change my feelings. It’s a bit to boring, i think! God, i really wan’t to see the swedish cover now, because they are the most beautiful hp covers without a doubt <3

You wanted non-spoiling mystery? You got it. This cover doesn’t say absolutely anything at all about the plot. The title, maybe a little bit. But the cover’s background doesn’t really spoil anything. All it says is he’s not at Hogwarts.

Very classy….clean, elegant, tasteful. French, in a word. The Germans should go over and take art lessons from the French.

It’s by far my all-time favourite cover for a HP book! So symbolic, so poetic, so ARTISTIC! I mean, look at the sky and the water crashing against the cliff! It’s almost a Cézanne! lol

Oh my goodness, I love it. It’s so simplistic, so…just perfect.

You’ve gotta be kidding me right? Are we looking at the same cover? Sad.

Oh, I really like it! it’s quite simple but very cool! And I think it’s something poetic. Really, really good. Now I’m just waiting for the italian cover, hoping it will not be too terrible.

Would it be OK if I said it’s awful? I can’t believe you people actually like it.

At first I thought- that looks pathetic, but it’s REALLY growing on me. The simpleness and emotion conveyed in the cover is beautiful
