Cover for Harry Potter book 7 released!
Here it is— the cover for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Harry Potter publishers Scholastic Books and Bloomsbury of the United Kingdom unveiled the covers yesterday and interestingly, the preview of the British covers also included the jacket notes:
“Harry has been burdened with a dark and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him.
In the final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.”
Check out fan sites MuggleNet and the Leaky Cauldron for all the details and fullsized images of both the American and British covers.
Also, this book is apparently a tearjerker! Harry Potter editor Arthur Levine told the Today Show that reading the last book was a bittersweet experience. “When I was reading it, I had both the excitement and the power of the book, and the plot, driving me forward. But I was also feeling a little sad. It’s the last time.”
He also admitted that he “sobbed and sobbed” while reading the book. A character will die, he said. So watch out, this puppy will be a tearjerker!
To hold you over, here’s the full cover art of the American edition by illustrator Mary GrandPré...
