I have to admit, that cover is compelling and will engage bookshoppers! Still, the picture we’re given looks kind of blurry. Hopefully it looks better in person. :D
And I bet it does.

I did not know that the Japanese readers had to wait more than a year for their translation, that is so long!!! I don’t really like the cover, but at least the cover does not give away the whole end (as several other covers do).

That is a terrible bookcover. Look at the english title: Harry Potter and (HARRY POTTER LOGO) the deathly hallows. Just terrible. it’s supposed to be scene where they move Harry to the burrow i think.

Hmm, that is not a very interesting cover. I wouldn’t look twice at that. Sorry.

I guess its ok. Its kind of abstract and harry isnt featured on the cover so that upsets me.
Live, Love, Harry Potter!

I love all the little people on brooms in the sky… very subtle, but key. I like it.
