UK Adult Version tells us nothing. It's just Slytherin's locket.
US Version: I actually quite like this cover, which is strange for the American ones. I tend not to like them in general, but this one is nice.
My first thought was that neither Harry, nor Voldemort, are holding wands. Which is VERY interesting. And it doesn't look like their catching anything either. It looks like they're CONTROLLING something.
Secondly, DRAPES again?! DEATH BY CURTAIN. AGAIN?! WTF. LOL.
Harry has something around his neck. It looks like a pouch of some sort. Hmmm...
They're in a collusium (I would say DoM, but it looks to be outdoors... though the ceiling could be charmed like Hogwarts Great Hall, but to what point?), with people are watching them. I'm assuming they're Death Eaters, because they're motionless. Realistically DE's don't want to disturb the fight, your average Bruce will be running, and the OotP will want to get in there. Unless, of course, they're people under the Imperius Curse, or Inferi.
And finally, the "rubble" at the front is stone AND WOOD. Which is something to note. The crumbling of the structure is not the collusium, but something else.
They couldn't possibly be on an ACTUAL STAGE, could they? There are open air stages down in the south of England that are made of stone. Hmmmmm...
UK Version: This is a seriously busy cover. LOL. There is so much going on. Okay. Here we go.
First thought, OMFG LOL @ expressions XDDD BWAHAHAHA. Hillarious. So that's out of the way...
Let's get the easy stuff over with. Hogwarts @ the full moon = VERY INTERESTING. Especially for us Remus fans. LOL. Patronus!Prongs is nothing special, I think. And that's about all the easy stuff. LOL.
Why are Ron and Hermione wearing wizarding (dress?) robes, and Harry isn't? WTF Kreacher/Dobby dude with Gryffindor's(?) sword?! They're cutted up, as well. FUN :D
Circular door(?) filled with (goblin made?) armour, gold and rubies. Hmmm... The stuff itself: Helmet with a DRAGON on top of its head is INTERESTING. Also, the chest plate has what looks to be the head of a BIRD (EAGLE?) and the body of a SNAKE. INTERESTING (the Slytherclaw shippers go mad, LMFAO). The only gems look to be rubies as well. Everything is encrusted with them. There are also what look to be potion bottles.
This might be a strange thought as well, but Hogwarts has GOLD goblets/plates/etc. And there's House Elves, potion bottles AND Gryffindor's sword, all of which we know are IN HOGWARTS. And, actually, suits of armour (though none with jewels that I recall). Although, the sword looks to be in proportion to the ELF, and not Harry etc... hmmm... but that might just be the perspective or the illustrator. LOL.
And lastly, a snake inside a (crystal?) ball. Hmmm...
Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing - if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him with?
Proper update tomorrow.
Peace,
Rotae

Cover art FTW!
IN HOWARTS.
Good call. I didn't put all that together. I saw coinage and jewels and thought Gringots. Where'd the monies come from anyways. Snape not like banks and they just raided his mattress? Dress robes!!!
Pouch?
*EXCITED*
I didn't consciously see the moon was full. I was just thinking, "Cloudy. Those Dementors must be going at it again." BUT OMG LUPIN! I do love him. He's my fave marauder.
Harry has a faint moustache shadow. Don't ask why I saw that, I dunno. LMAO, their faces!
Re: Cover art FTW!
Haha... I think that's just, like soot or something... LOL. Harry =/= DanRad in Equus... XDDDD
Peace,

Re: Cover art FTW!

(why can't it be rocks AND lasers? O:)
The US cover has grown on me considerably. I like it now because it has a sort of quiet, eerie feeling (despite the.. orange) and it's just Harry and Voldemort- what everything has been leading up to.

Rocks = far too simple. LOL It has to be CUNNING and unexpected. And EVERYONE expects rocks. XDDD
Yeah. I agree. I like the US one because it's simple as well. I think they both did a good job this time around (I usually don't like the US ones, LOL).

I think the fandom would die, though, if JKR by accident includes something like, "Voldemort's curse accidentally hit the wall and it started falling, showering everything with rocks".
