Harry Potter cover
The new Harry Potter book comes out just before my birthday (still sadly four months away), but the cover was revealed today. Here it is:
What's it mean? According to this interview, the cloaked figure is actually Voldemort, though my wife would say that Ralph Fiennes provides a more attractive version. It's definitely a stadium, but then there's the curtains on either side. Is it a drama of some kind? Another thought--the portal from the Department of Mysteries--the one Sirius Black fell through after his death--perhaps Harry has gone through to the other side, an option which others have proposed. Who knows? It's another four months until I find out. (Or more, since Sarah and I have had a habit of reading these aloud to one another.)
