The art work is beautiful. But I am very curious about the house they are watching. I also wonder how they are with. My guess is either the new DADA teacher or Professor Moody.

Great artwork! I wonder whose house that is. I'm assuming that's a snake on the door? That's what it looks like to me anyway. I really can't wait to find out what it all is!

Did you notice that DD seems to be reaching for the knife stuck in the tree? He's looking right at it and his hand is going for it. But why?

Fantastic art work! Very ominous... The knife in the tree trunk certainly raises some interesting possibilities.
I got the impression it might be the new hideout for the Order... Oh well, two days to find out!

I think Mary GrandPre is absolutely incredible. She manages to capture the essence of every book in the cover. I hope she stays around for VII.

I wish I knew who that person was they are following. Also who ever is in the window. My guess is the half-blood prince.

King of Potter Knowledge says:
The pictures are very very good!
However, I don't buy the scholastic books but o well!
I agree with Professor GrubbyPlank that the person is probably either Mad-Eye Moody or the new DATDA Teacher.

I have to say, I think the "unidentified Man in the pic is the man in the description JK gave us before, I also belive this is the new character. And..I think he is walking towards Hagrids Hut, thats Just my opinion though.

Seeing this sort of thing just makes it that much harder to wait for the book on Saturday. I know it is only a few days but it os so hard to be patient and wait nicely for it. I am already starting to get a little irritable looking at the clock and wishing time would move faster.
