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.

yet another small taste of what's to come. Looks to be another job very well done by JKR and the entire HP team. Keep up the good work and keep those hints coming!

If I stay on this site long enough on the 15th someone on the other side of the world might post somethng about the story since they have it already., I sont think ill do that thiough becuase i want to find out on my own what happen. Sorry. I know i got a little but off topic there.

WARNING: WHAT I AM ABOUT TO WRITE WILL CONTAIN A SPOILER... ok, not really.




I don't see why everyone thinks the back cover is such a spoiler. It has essentially the same images that are at the bottom half of the scholastic announcement poster. I think they have a much better version of the back cover at mugglenet, in case anybody's tempted.

Quick one of you computer genius's go out there and blow it up and figure it out!!!
I know how to blow this up all you have to do is to right click on the image and a box thing will appear with many options you'l want to click 'set as desktop' and then you wait and it will be your background on your compuer.however
there is a slight snag it is to blurry to read what is on the cover

p.s I'm only 14 years old
