Covers for Deathly Hallows, Includes synopsis *spoilers* Options

[Dijares]

Okay, folks, here are the covers and synopsis for the 7th book.

Synopsis

Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety , and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him!

In this final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectactular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.

This portion is from the adult version:

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?

Well, I'm pretty sure the locket at Number 12 was described as a "heavy gold locket no one could open..."

But as for the initials... I can't figure out how to embed the image I made...

Basically, if you look at the "S" on the locket, and ignore the double line of Emeralds, then you're left with only the top and bottom parts of the letter... The top part looks like a "G" leaning about 30 degrees and the bottom part looks like an inverted version of the same letter. Probably insignificant... but you never know.

Well, I'm pretty sure the locket at Number 12 was described as a "heavy gold locket no one could open..."

Anyone else notice that the locket -

A) is Gold (Not Slytherin's Silver)

OOTP, pg. 166, US Version:

"a heavy locket that none of them could open"

HBP, pg. 207, US Version:

"shaking a heavy golden locket at him"

HBP, pg. 437, US Version:

"There upon the smooth crimson velvet lay a heavy golden locket."

Slytherin's locket was gold. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

She might not remember it but there might be a way to access the prophecy in her mind that Voldemort knows.

The only one left for Voldemort to get the prophecy from is Sibyll herself. BOOM - BIG target for Voldemort.

I agree and I disagree. V can get the prophecy from Harry, all he would have to do is perform Legilimency on him. Perhaps this is all that would be needed on Trelawney as well?

Are you sure? ROFLMRO!!!

I agree and disagree with you. :~) I was just reading the chapter in HBP where Snape killed Dumbledore, and how, when Harry was trying to stop Snape with curse after curse, Snape said to him 'Blocked again, and again, and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, Potter!' I don't believe Voldemort will be able to penetrate Harry's mind, I really believe after all he went through that Legilimency will come to Harry very quickly, as well as non-verbal spells, but I agree that Trelawney is fair game for Voldemort. Well if Voldemort knows that she is the one who heard the prophecy. I can't remember if he knows or not.

Ok, so you've won one bet, so let's make it double or nothing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laughing.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I agree that Harry will learn to sheild his mind and to use non-verbal spells - and I think that Snape was still in his teaching moments. To be honest, I think DD and Snape recognized that the only way to get Harry to seek out Voldemort and kill him was DD's death. I'm not saying they planned the exact moment, but after Snape swore the Unbreakable Vow, DD knew that he would die at Snape's hand eventually.

BTW, Trelwaney didn't hear the prophecy, she gave the prophecy. Voldemort knows it was Trelawney because Snape told him about the prophecy. Why else would DD have been protecting her all along?

I agree that Harry is already beginning to learn to shield his mind from V. This is why he was able to get rid of V from the posession in OOTP.

I also totally agree with the fact that Snape knew he would probably have to kill DD. But, not necessarily to make Harry kill V. DD and Harry had already agreed that it would have to be Harry that did the deed. I think it was necessary for Snape to kill DD to keep the ruse going - for at all costs Harry MUST be protected in order to get at V.

Trelawney did give the prophecy, but she doesn't recall doing it, so therefore it's locked in a very deep part of her mind that I don't think they'd be able to get to, even with Veritaserum.

HP&HBP, page 427: DD states - ". . .nor can I ask Sybill Trelawney to leave. Between ourselves, she has no idea of the danger she would be in outside the castle." I'm sure LV has a way of getting to the memory.
