HP7

In just a couple days the mystery will be solved! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be in all the bookstores.

Interesting though, the book cover from the UK is quite different than the series done for the US.

Mary GrandPré, the illustrator for the Harry Potter books here in the US, has been drawing since she was five years old. She went through a Salvador Dali stage when she was ten or twelve and later graduated to copying black-and-white photos out of the encyclopedia. However, she really grew into her own while attending art school in her mid-20s. There, she developed her love of pastels and "soft geometry."

There have been several people working on the covers done in the UK. There are actually children's versions and adult versions. Jason Cockcroft illustrated the non-scholastic edition cover for Half-Blood Prince, and I believe he has done Deathly Hallows as well. Michael Wildsmith took the cover photo for the adult edition.
