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.

Check out www.mugglenet.com for a hi-res image. Cleary Ron, Hermione, and Ginny are there, but there is a 4th person, the HBP???? Possibly Mark Evens?

This is so cool!!!
It's going to be here any time now!!!!
I'm going to try and resize it to make it bigger.
Hopefully it will work.
It is not fair that I'm not going to be home the day of the release.
Oh well at least I will still be having fun...if I don't think of HP too much.

Interesting. I've been looking forward to seeing the back cover for a while now! Unfortunately, it doesn't give much help in the way of spoiling anything. Argh! 8 days!

The Dark Mark is over Hogwarts, and there are a lot more people standing Behind Ron, Hermonie, and Ginny. You can just see there shadows, but you can not see any details of them. Except for the boy behind Ron that I think is Neville.

Oh and by the way holla4hp, MARK EVENS IS A NOBODY! JKR has alread said that she wasn't thinking when she used the surname of Evens for that boy. So he is not the HBP.

Well someone conjured a dark mark at Hogwarts. Who could it be? Snape? Malfoy? Does that mean that Voldemort is no longer afraid of Dumbledore? Or is it really true that DD had gone to another adventure?

Less than a week to go... I can't wait.

Well, I think that no one conjured the dark mark, and I think that it is in the cover to symbolize that Hogwarts isn't a safe place anymore. I also think that ron, hermione, ginny and the others ( maybe the girl next to ron is cho?) are watching harry and dumbledore, and not the dark mark...


only 7 days!!!!!!!!!! ;)

You know, if you looked at the shadowed image behind Ron, Hermione and the other's faces, it looks some what like Hogwarts castle....I wonder if Voldemort strikes Hogwarts...

How cool are those pics?! i especially like the one of ron and hermione...i've never seen one of him on a cover and so i've always imagined him as the ron in the movies. i wonder if that dark mark is in the sky over hogwarts? it would make sense why there are other faces which we don't know.

In the higher quality version it looks like it may be Luna behind Ron.. The hair looks blond and the eyes are large and round. Could be?
