Following on the heels of the German cover art we first showed you last month, the Dutch publishers of the Harry Potter novels have revealed the cover art for their edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The image, which can be seen here in our Image Galleries thanks to PotterManiac, does contain slight book spoilers for readers who have not yet read the book.
On a related note, Gallimard, who publish the Harry Potter novels in France, released a promotional drawing of Harry Potter at the age of 17. You can see this image drawn by artist Jean-Claude Götting here courtesy of UHP.
Dear Leaky… I suspect you’ve got your geography mixed up. That’s not the danish cover, that’s the dutch cover, and Denmark and the Netherlands are two completely different countries. :)
(And I’m fairly certain the danish editions aren’t published from abroad too…)
A lot of the fan art that is posted in the galleries would make a much better cover (and is probably done by more talented people who actually love the series).
The dragon looks like an iguana, and at least the artist should had drawn the trio jumping and not just the splash in the water.
shut it axel! I’m sorry, but don’t insult the dutch covers. They are better than the american ones and defenitely more consistend. They’ve got great sense of detail and beautiful use of colour and they don’t spoil plotpoints. They never show the characters faces. That way more is left to you’re amagination. Don’t get me wrong, I like the U.S. and U.K. version as well, but they just aren’t really original. sorry mate, it’s the truth.
redbeard, the UK/US not original? LOL FIrst, when I saw the shaky YouTube vid, I wasn’t very excited. But with the Hi-res image, i’m fairly pleased. I’m from the Netherlands myself, but this is my least favourite sadly :(
I’m not sure if it’s really less than the previous dutch covers. I think people just had very high hopes because it’s the last book. They can’t please everyone.
It’s the Dutch one!!! Not Danish.
