LOL covers
The countdown to Potterdammerung, or the wank to rule them all that will kill the Internets, is still on. So exciting!
Yeah, Harry Potter has been a great ride for me, even though my fanatism has wore down with time a bit. So I'm glad we're getting to see the end of the journey,adult!Harry will be hot, and hoping the answers will be managed either here or at JKR.com. But incidentally, I'm not in a squeeeeee mode, and I'm being more enthusiastic to the fandom reactions and the jokes spawning from the wanks.
One thing I learned from last books was not tosteal a big poster from a department store if you're not going to hang it afterwards assume things from cover art.Because most of the times, you really can't tell anything from it. What did we have last year? A pensieve, a boat near a sink, a potions book, Harry's friends staring at a dark mark, two fingers joined by a ring of fire, a redneck shack with a dead snake as decoration, and Harry and Dumbledore all LOL FIRE WTF.
My point: HP cover art is random sometimes. Occasionally it does address important plot points, places, and people. But while you can make theories about the art, and it's much fun to do such, most of the time the predictions are off. Because "you can't judge a book from its cover" and shit, so trying to come up with the plot in a flawless way just by staring at the pretty official art.
That said, I know we'll be sick of seeing speculation and thoughts onH/Hr vs. R/Hr yaoi over the cover art released today. So I'm not going to bother and go "OMG snakes on a plane cover, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!" I just look at the art, say things like "mmmmm..." or "uh..." to myself, and continue. Maybe in self-preservation to the DRAMA today's TRC chapter will bring.
I will, however, say one thing:
Children's UK cover? You look like a Discworld novel. I feel the need to 'shop the Luggage and a couple of wizards and barbarians and night guards in there.

"Heh, so I died by crossing this curtain? Funny, if I knew I was going to get killed by a piece of fabric with a relative to blame, I would've bet on my dear mother's drapes and pixy venom."
"FUNNY YOU MENTION IT. I WAS JUST THINKING THIS VEIL FITS MY HOUSE WINDOWS PERFECTLY."
