I like british children’s coverart the best…...my sweeties R/Hr are on it…... <3><3>

I’m so happy the Japanese edition is finally coming out! My boss is a native Japanese speaker, and she read the US edition of DH when it came out, but it took her a while to read, so I had to keep tight-lipped for a month. I’ll get it for her when it comes out.

I definitely think the canadian and british ones are the best.. this japanese one is ok..

What the?? This is REALLY bad. Couldn’t they find something that actually made sense for the cover? I wouldn’t have known it was Hagrid, it does look like someone on an ATV. Terrible cover art, IMO.

I like it alot, I think that is is the part where Harry is heading towards the Burrow.

Yup, I for one, really like this cover!

I didn’t know there were limousine-brooms in the wizarding world. Where can I get one?

I wanna c the volume 2 cover (u can c it very faintly on Sayzansha’s official site)....why must they tantalize us like this?

What’s with the cover art hate? The American coverart better? Well, sure, if you want something that is completely misleading as to where the final battle is taking place! XD LOL. Seriously, I love the cover art and I am very very tempted to buy this in order to practice my Nihongo. Yay!

If you look at the publisher’s site, there are actually two covers, one for each volume. It would be interesting to know where they split the book.

Strange…I love the American cover best, and the delux edition cover.

Orwont, you’re right, it’s be interesting to know where they split it, because then, it’d give some idea about the split in the film too! And no, I don’t hate the cover art, it’s just a bit different from most of the cover art I’ve seen before so it just took me aback a bit, that’s all! It’s actually good, but I guess no Harry on the cover just made people feel weird, because you usually have the main character on all the covers.

I’m really don’t care too much for the American cover, since it’s a little too obvious for me (like changing philosophers stone to sorcerers stone). But maybe it’s just because I’m dutch and I like my nations book covers best. But this Japanese cover is still awfull.

Prenz, you don’t usually have the main character on the book cover. They ordinarily just do that with childrens books and I don’t persieve Harry Potter as such.

Come on guys, this is the scene where Hagrid, Death Eaters and the Dragons are playing Quidditch with an extra large bulger hurtling towards Hagrid. Remember? Man, you guys have such bad memories…

the previous book covers were better/great. this one is really anti-climactic. ironic since i expected it to be rather flashy in a non-spoiler-y way.

@ redbeard: Of course the dutch covers are better! But then again, saying that, I’m fronm Flanders after all ;)

@Blackat: How do you mean, this looks like a mixture of Amano and Miyazaki? I’m not offending you or anything, I just don’t get it. Everything I’ve ever seen from Miyazaki doesn’t look like this at all. Maybe you could give me a hint?

not a fan of it as the cover but i really like the picture, great use of colours and texture, i kinda like those Japenese covers to have hanging on my wall, not on the book though
