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:

The back cover seems to be equally as mysterious as the front. I cant quite figurs out who the other two people are (ginny and neville) would be my guess. This is so exciting, i can;t wiat!

The pocture is just part of the cover, it wont really be a spoiler until you read the book and figure out what its there for. It happened to me when reading Book 5. So it doesnt really count as a spoiler.

That's a really cool picture. I wonder what it means to the story, but I'm pretty sure that it's Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Neville on the back cover looking up at the dark mark.

Oh man that was awsome I cant wait for a week I have to have it now. I still can't find out who the HBP is I think it is a charactor we have never heard of in 1-5 I think it has a good chance of being the new DADAT (Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher)

Nice picture! The good thing about it isyou can't actually see it, anyone who wants to see it now, will have to wait until the 16th, until then, get your gear on, the rush for the book could get extremely chaotic!!!

Well, it's a great pity you can't read the text on the inner cover. That would be something really good for us to ponder over these last few days. It will be wasted if we read it and then read the book straight away.

Has anyone been able to deschipher the writing on the back? I tried to and all I got was a V. Maybe it was something about Voldemort.

that is so cool. I kind of knew what it would be though, because i was at the store a week ago and saw a sign that said how many days were left and at the bottom i saw Ron and Hermiones face. so i kind of figured.

Oooh!!!
Ron's cute! I was almost too scared to look at it, but I don't think it gives anything away...
Well, I guess it means that we're gonna see another Dark Mark, obviously. By the way, is that last girl Ginny?

OH. MY. GOD!!!! that is the coolest cover ever! Only I thought that the dark mark would be more solid-looking, and not just an apparition. Just to let all of you know who don't want to spoil it, it is not really spoiled, because you don't know what's happening or when it's happening until you read the book and find out all the details. I have a feeling that if all those other people are Ginny and neville (luna?) and that is Hogwarts in the background, maybe a student conjured it. draco? I'm also curious to see what Dumbledore and Harry are looking in the cauldron for. Maybe it is some sort of prohphecy having to do with the HBP. Somehow I think that harry is the HBP, so the title is sort of ironic. Maybe he isn't. Well we'll find out in six days!!!!!
