OOH! PRETTY!

[amanuensis1]

Eee, I love turning on the television at EXACTLY the right moment--and not even knowing it was coming! Of course, that doesn't mean I have a screencap, but I'm sure it'll be just a minute or two before someone does. I love the internet.

EDIT: Here y' go! Won't let me post the pic here, so just click.

HP & the H-BP American Ed. Cover

SECOND EDIT: Ha ha, I even beat The Leaky Cauldron.

What was it!?

I just ran to the bedroom, switched on the TV and saw Ahnie talking about kids eating habits. I assumed that wasn't what you were squeeing over, so turned it off, but now I'm curious what I missed.

Please don't leave me in suspense!

[cheshyre]

Never mind, I just checked The Leaky Cauldron and saw what happened that I missed...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I keep refreshing the Leaky page to see if the screencaps are up.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ha, I always figure that if *I* know about it, everyone must already know.

They just showed the cover for the American edition of HBP!

[ellid.livejournal.com]

High res versions of the British covers are up at TLC. The adult version shows a book titled "Advanced Potions Making," so Harry clearly got into Snape's NEWTS class (to their mutual joy, I'm sure). And the children's version shows Harry and Dumbledore surrounded by fire in what appears to be some sort of battle situation.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I've been waiting to see Harry open that letter and see he got his passing marks into potions, hee.

[tinderblast.livejournal.com]

I never thought about Harry hearing the news but come to think of it ... I wonder if he'll fall to his knees purely out of habit? ;-)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Moan! You bad thing. (I love fandom.)

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

so Harry clearly got into Snape's NEWTS class

Ha, I'll have to see if I can cash in my bet with Jon (partner) based on the cover *g* Knowing him, I'll have to wait until July though...

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

*hedges bet in her H/D big bang fic, too*

If I'm wrong, hey, at least that'll be finished before HBP comes out.

And, man, Mary what's her face is finally drawing Harry hot.

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

I really like the pensieve cover, I may have to get a US edition as well just for that *g* And yes, her Harry does look better!

*still squealing over more Snape teaching Harry bits*

[pen-and-umbra.livejournal.com]

Snape teaching Harry bits

I read this as "Snape teaching Harry's bits" and wondered for a moment there whether JKR has finally cottoned on to the popularity of slash. *facepalm*

And I'll add my EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to the general chorus. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Hehe, never mind the occlumency lessons, it's time to learn what *real* magic's about! (Because let's be honest - most men + magic would = a lot of entertainment involving their willies, not to mention nasty accidents! I bet St Mungo's has a whole secret floor...)

[pen-and-umbra.livejournal.com]

This year, from the Weasley twins: The Ton-Todger Toffee!

Ow. As in, ow. And I don't even want to think of a Enlargeous Boobus charm going wrong.

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Hee, the twins could fill up a whole ward with that one *shudders* I did once have a young Lucius use a charm to make it bigger, because he just would ;-)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Enlargeous Boobus

I swear I read that one on ff.net.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

Hermione was prominently featured, wasn't she? (In more ways than one! Woo! Heh.)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Quick, name that Secret Ward! It could be a contest.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ah, Harry's in the puberty-hits-me-like-the-Hogwarts-Train category of maturation.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

Sixteen-year-old boys, I'm telling you. Honey, they're showing his throat. His throat!

[ackonrad.livejournal.com]

If Harry gets into Snape's Advanced Potion class, then he'll be together with Draco! Awww!

And I so agree with you about Harry finally looking like a teenager.

[ellid.livejournal.com]

Yeppers, that's a pensieve...obviously Harry is being shown Something Important.

[fluffyllama.livejournal.com]

Pensieve! I'm in ecstasy. Flashbacks! *starts chanting for Sirius*

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

ALL I SEE IS A WATERMARK. *flails*

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

NEVERMIND.

Wow. I think this is my favorite cover yet.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on this one!

[ackonrad.livejournal.com]

Mine too! OMG, the American one is so very pretty!

[cindysilver.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD YES!

WHEEE

Thank you!! You're the first on my flist to have told me this news! I really appreciate it :) YAY DUMBLEDORE

Cheers,
Cindy xx

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

My very great pleasure! (Seriously, I had, like, nuthin' HP to post for weeks, and then, this. Whee!)

[gmth.livejournal.com]

Dumbledore = BIG influence on Harry in this book. Verra interesting...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the big lug is making up for his lack of Harry-guidance in the last. Can we say, "Poor planning," Dumbledore? Close-barn-door-after-horsie-gone? Sure we can.

[lillian78.livejournal.com]

Harry in Snape's Newt Potion Class..yes! *pumps fist* Nobody could keep those two apart could they? So much UST and so little time to get them together.

[silentauror.livejournal.com]

If it weren't so unseemly, I'd be hopping up and squeeing like a rabid monkey right now, only I'm in a public lab, once again, so....

But seriously!!! Harry & Draco in Advanced Potions together at last!!!!!! The canon-based opportunities for slash!!! The chances of Ron not being there to fuck everything up! It's too exciting. Pardon me while I pass out from sheer joy.

Also, I like the covers. :) Yay for Harry not looking like he's 9 years old anymore!

HIS THROAT
SWEET CHRIST ON TOAST HIS THROAT!!!!!11!!!1

When I make it to actual coherent thought, I'll comment again.

Suspecting she may actually squee out loud in the middle of her next class,

You are the first post for this topic on my list, and I've got over sixty posts today with people/news sites discussing this topic.
