Thanks, Emmo!  Previously, a purple place-holder cover had been up there, on HPANA, and at the Harry Potter Lexicon. Scholastic editor Arthur Levine appeared on this morning's Today Show to reveal the Mary GrandPre cover. You can view the video here: www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/extras/arthurlevinetodayshow.htmlYou can enlarge the cover art for the US Scholastic edition and both UK Bloomsbury editions (children and adult) here: www.veritaserum.com/books/book6/ |

POTION-
MAKING
Libalius Borage as can be seen on the larger image hosted by the News Aggreggator, which Miss Kroze should have used in the first place. Five points from Ravenclaw. www.hpana.com/news.18529.htmlFrom this cover, I believe I must now assume Potter will be showing his scarred face in my N.E.W.T.-level Potions classes in September. Perhaps the fools at the Wizarding Examinations Authority handed an "O" to Potter because of that minor altercation in the Department of Mysteries, but Potter will find keeping up with my standards far more difficult than any half-pitched battle with the bumbling lower servants of the Dark Lord. And if nothing else, I suppose Potter's presence in my class will be an opportunity to take points from Gryffindor when he fails as miserably as he always does to produce an acceptable brew. |

Whoops... *hangs head in shame* Yeah, follow Snape's link ( www.hpana.com/news.18529.html), since HPANA now claims to have the "largest Book 6 covers online". |

As part of their multimillion-dollar advertising campaign for the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Scholastic has designed what looks like a freestanding cardboard "countdown calendar", featuring artwork by Mary GrandPre. www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2005/03/scholstandupbig.htmlThe artwork, which I guess serves as an "extended version" of the HBP cover art (maybe the bottom half of the ad is the back cover of the book?), features Ron, Hermione, Ginny (apparently), and a Dark Mark. Oh, and more of that swirly greenish stuff. |

Oh, and more of that swirly greenish stuff. Sigh. And I thought they would have learned from the whole fiasco with the release of the Prisoner of Azkaban paperback. Which was released on September 11, 2001. You may not recall the big media blitz over the release because other events kind of dominated the headlines that day. At the time, I was working in a bookstore. And it was my job to every day update the little countertop countdown calendar we had with the new number of days left until PoA came out in paperback. The only thing creepier than having a calendar counting down the days to September 11, 2001 was that the boxes the paperback books were shipped to us in all had prominent markings saying "Do not open until September 11, 2001". A week or so later, I re-used one of those boxes to ship an order of books to a customer out of town. I wonder what the US Mail employees thought about a large package marked with warnings to not open it until 9/11... |
