Book Wholesalers, Inc., a book supplier to U.S. public libraries, has postedopens in new window 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.

UPDATE: Scholastic has officially released a much higher quality version of the art on the back side (without text). From their press releaseopens in new window:

The back cover depicts Ron and Hermione as well as two other Hogwarts students looking at "the Dark Mark." Drawn in the same green tones as the front cover, GrandPré has created another incredible piece of art that captures the essence and mystery of the Harry Potter books.

The cover looks really good, I wish I could read the print, I think the other girl standing is Ginny or Luna Lovegood.

Thats what I said a while ago, why did they say it was ginny? Luna was obviously put into the books now for a reason, why cant it be her?

they do put spoilers on the jacket cover, for OOTP the jacket cover gave away:

-A defense against the dark arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey
-a venemous, disgruntled house-elf
-Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
-The looming terror of the end-of-term O.W.L Exams

I tried to look, but couldn't find out anything from the cover, it is too glossy of a picture, so there was a glare! I guess I will just have to wait the last 8 days!

Well, there isn't really ANY SPOILER here, I mean we can't figure out anything NEW, any "CLUE", NOTHING!!! -- there's the Dark Mark (which we figured by ourselves that it was going to appear again anyway!) and, looking at it, RON, HERMIONE, GINNY and.... ANOTHER KID, TOTALLY UNIDENTIFIABLE!!!! (could be ANYBODY, from Neville to Luna, or from Seamus to Cho.... --we can't even tell for sure if it's A BOY OR A GIRL!)

So... we've got nothing. But then, hey, there's ONLY ONE WEEK TILL THE RELEASE, YAY, can you believe it??? And then we'll know EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! =D =D =D =D =D =D

Am I the only one that realizes the cover is not a spoiler at all. When you get the book the cover is right there infront of you before you have a chance to read it.


Just a Thought.

I think the third girl on the back illustration is Ginny Weasley. She seems to have reddish hair.

I don't really want to look at the pictures because I want it to be a surprise. I can't wait for the real book to come out so I can study the cover at a closer distance. This is so exciting! Only one week till the book comes out!!

bravelikealion -- Harry's mother did have red hair didn't she? Altho she looks a bit young for Lily. A lot of people are suggesting Ginny.
