Harry Potter und die Heiligtuemer des Todes

There have been posters all over the mall for the last month or so for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The German-language version was only released today (as opposed to the July release in the U.S. for the English-language version). However, Germany is scheduled to get the DVD of The Order of the Phoenix a month earlier than the U.S., so it all evens out in the end.

Below is cover art for all the German-language books. It's always interesting to compare the covers from other countries, but Mary GrandPré's artwork for the U.S. versions is the best, in my humble opinion.

This just showed me that Mary Gran Pre has one more thing going for her -- she aged her Harry with each successive book. This German Harry doesn't really seem to age at all. Funny, since so much was made about the fact that JK's characters age throughout the series.

I'm so glad you mentioned this post. I realized after reading it that there were several other updates to last year that I had missed. Thanks for the heads up!
