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.

I don't know but, when I look at the backside cover (the one with just the art) The girl closest to hermione looked like it could have been Cho, but above it says that it's Ron, Hermione, and two new characters. Question...is it just me in wondering why Ron and Hermione are together without Harry? To me it seems like Harry is the glue that keeps Ron and Hermione friends, besides their obvious atraction to eachother..wink wink!

I would have never thought of it as a spolier until they said it was one. Then I put two and two together.
