Question by Nymphadora Tonks: Harry Potter. What do you think is the importance of the US cover for the 7th book?
I found this in the fifth book… do you think it fits the description?

(in the Department of Mysteries… room with the veil)

“This room was larger than the lasr, dimly lit and rectangular, and the center of it was sunken, forming a great stone pit some twenty feet below them. They were standing on the topmost tier of what seemed to be stone benches running all around the room and desending in steep steps like an amphitheater, or the courtroopm in which Harry had been tried by the Wizengamot. Instead of a chained chair, however, there was a raised stone dias in the center of the lowered floor, and pon the dias stood a stone archway that looked so ancient, cracked, and crumbling that Harry was amazed the thing was still standing. Unsupported by any surrounding wall, the archway was hung with a tattered black curtain or veil…”
I personally think that the cover art is of great importance, as it is a scene from the book… “We’re seeing Harry in a very interesting situation. Readers will find out exactly what the situation is.” Arthur Levine, the US Potter editor…

and it isn’t like the Harry Potter books are the only ones I read… you should see my bookshelf… I just love the books, and I enjoy reading them more than once…

I think you are all reading way too much into it. And I think Ms. Rowling would prefer it if you read some good old fashioned classics while you waited for 7 instead of spending so much time dwelling on it. There are good books out there to read. July will get here soon enough and then we will all find out together. In the meantime pick up Dracula or Wuthering Heights and read something else. Pax – C.
