At a formal press conference covered by the Ukrainian Independent Information Agency, the cover art for the Ukrainian edition of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” was released by publishers A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA. HPClub.com.ua let us know they now have this very dramatic (and very spoiler filled) cover art, including the back cover art, available for fans. You can see this stunning artwork here in our galleries, along with the previous Ukraine Harry Potter books cover art. The Ukrainian edition of the final Harry Potter novel is set for release at the end of this month.
It’s beautiful. It’s such a shame they used the actors for faces though. That’s so uncanon. But that’s okay… they made Dan’s face less square, Hermione’s hair less blonde, and Ron’s face less scared. Too bad Hermione still looks like GURLPOWAHH and straight haired. Oh well…

WOAH! I’m shocked. (splutters) I love the style, but…it looks like they used Rupert’s face, and I love Rupert and all, but that’s just weird. There’s so much to take in; it’s gorgeous! I like it A LOT, but it isn’t cannon, and I’m all a tither. My Ukrainian friend will be incredibly pleased to hear about them totally pwning on the cover. gasp! They show Dobby! Geez…and Hermione’s hair isn’t red.
Very nice artwork, although I don’t know if it’s a great idea to have a book cover that can actually double as a movie poster.
Great touch showing Ron carrying Hermione towards shell cottage. Who’s the one with the Hogwarts robes walking towards Harry, Luna? I always pictured shell cottage to be made of shells, I somehow never pictured it having a giant shell on the roof. The deatheaters (or maybe Moody) dropping from the sky in flames look very cool.
"My Great Uncle Algie kept trying to catch me off my guard and force some magic out of me -- he pushed me off the end of Blackpool pier once, I nearly drowned -- but nothing happened until I was eight."
These covers are better than the US ones even. I love them! There is so much detail and they are so colorful and artistic.
