Book Wholesalers, Inc., a book supplier to U.S. public libraries, has posted
a small report on their recently received shipment of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince including a tiny picture of the backside jacket.
If you're trying to stay spoiler-free, you might want to pass on this one although it's difficult to see any detail.
- Here it comes
- Boxes of books
- The lion's out of the bag
- SPOILER: Glimpse of entire jacket
- Ready to go!
UPDATE: Scholastic has officially released a much higher quality version of the art on the back side (without text). From their press release:

I couldn't tell much about it from the glare? But am I seeing a snake? It's nearly impossible to tell. I hoped it was a dragon (because I like dragons, so I'm trying to make the shape into a dragon), but I don't think so. Of course, we already know about Voldemort's snake. So......
another week!! Augghhhhhhh!!!

Y. Kuang -- really good job on showing the comparison of the characters. It's better than I could make out on the back cover!

That looks a bit like the way that I picture Ginny to look. It looks like Ron is growing up, and becoming handsome. it even seems that Hermione will grow into her self.

Wow..I am surprised that they let someone in with a camera to take pictures of the boxes; I bet they were followed around by security guards..

All of those boxes of books are making me really excited. I'm so jealous of those people who are getting to touch them and probably read them!
I wonder who that other woman is on the promotional stand? She looks a bit Asian to me, maybe it's Cho? Although her hair looks red, so maybe it's Harry's mother... I guess we'll find out on July 16!

Hmmm...I'm sure by the beginning of next week, somebody will have either found, gotten or made a better copy of that picture. You can see the writing in white, but it is entirely illegible. Did you guys know that the police have programs on their computers that make pictures that may seem fuzzy or unclear, look as crisp and bright as a digital camera picture? Mega-unfair that we don’t know where to get a program like that…
I’ve seen it in the movies, whenever they’ve got a picture of a criminal going into a building or something, they always make it clear and say “That’s our guy.” And then arrest him and stuff. They did it in Corky Romano, on one of those pictures of him dressed like a girl scout trying to sell some cookies.

From what I saw of the jacket,( and I dont believe I am giving spoilers out)all that could be seen was a person standing behind like a rock, or.... something else but it would spoil the fun.

Hey do any of you guys know if I can copy the jacket picture onto my computer. I believe I can because some websites tell you their stuff is copyrighted but this site didnt.

Does anyone know if they sell HBP straight after midnight in Norway, like they did in England the last time? (Why can't I go to London this time also?? Unfair!!)
Hope nobody of you guys lost someone in the terrorist attack in London yesterday...
Best wishes
