I've never thought about that, but you're right. Surely his head would have gotten wider in seven years?
Maybe there would be an outcry if he got some sexy, geek chic glasses.
Though one of my flatmates doesn't understand the concept of geek chic. London scenester flatmate mentioned that she used to wear glasses with clear glass and vaguely provincial Catholic one answered, 'Why?!?' in a really appalled, 'glasses are deeply uncool' way. At which point I yelled at her in a short sighted belligerent northern way.
Anyway... yes, Harry definitely needs sexy glasses. Though haven't the films abandoned his need for glasses altogether?
Imagine magical contact lenses....

I'm quite excited by Ron's sword on the front cover, I don't think they've had a swrod fight before have they?
Iwas hoping for some Snapeage on the cover though, I love Snape me.

I don't think its Ron's sword. It looks more like Dobby? is holding it.

Just checked again. He does look like Guy!
I agree. I can see a Gee-Ball .v. Quidditch battle coming on

So, I figure we need a sweepstake on the corpses from book 7. JKR said at some point there would be two (far fewer than I expected) so who you gunning for?
i'll keep a tally here and the winner gets... i don't know, everyone to give them some karma or something.
anyway, my guess is Snape (in some sacrificial act or other) and Neville (going on the prophecises in book 6 there's going to be something about him). i think to kill Harry would be too obvious, although Ron and hermione could well get it.
so...
The tasteful lowculture Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows rape grim death sweepstakes
Snape - Rad, schmindie Neville - Rad, schmindie Ron - Xenomaniac, timydamonkey Hermione - Xenomaniac Hagrid - Becky Draco Malfoy - Becky, timydamonkey McGonagall - Tacyemarley Mr Weasley - Tacyemarley, Jode* Lupin - Jode* Lucius Malfoy - laine Voldemort - laine Harry - LoveMusic Ginny - LoveMusic Cho Chang - Mini Casino Mr Dursley - Minicasino luna lovegood-steven blaize zabini-steven alicia spinnet(!)-floss

I'll take Ron and Hermione just to cover the bases. I don't think JKR would ever really do it though.

Hopefully Hagrid, and early in the book so we dont have to put up with his crap all the way through. My other guess would be Malfoy, on the basis that he isn't really that great a wizard and probably would be out of his league in the Death Eaters.

Dammit, Mr Weasley's soooo dead. I thought he was going to kick the bucket in The Order of the Phoenix to be honest. Was surprised he didn't. We wouldn't be lucky enough to get Hagrid bumped off.

On the grounds that I don't care about the Potter books enough to stand even the slightest chance of winning this, I'm picking:
Luna Lovegood Blaize Zabini

Rad and Xenomaniac seem to be representing the two parts of mind that have a big punch up whenever I think about who'll be bumped off.
Currently the Rad half is winning, and I think Snape will die saving Harry. I also think Neville will play an important role (such as DYING), because JK's made him too similar to Peter Pettigrew for it to be a coincidence. Unless of coure it's a red-herring.
But I'd be more satisfied if Ron and Hermione died in some big important way, because I'm bloodthirsty and it'd be more exciting.
I'd be happiest if Ginny died, because she's a twunt. And then Harry could get with Luna. In fact! I'd mostly like Ginnie and Neville to die, in order for the Harry and Luna partnership to be able to happen. It won't though. I'll stop typing now. I could rant about Harry Potter for years.

I am appalled that the glasses still feature in the cover. Harry is supposed to be all "fanciable" now he's older. In the cover he looks like Guy Secretan. Are you saying Guy Secretan isn't sexy!! Sacrilege!

Sacrilege of the highest order.

Neville is dead, definitely.
Snape or Voldemort, Snape or Voldemort, Snape or Voldemort... It's got to be Voldemort, hasn't it?

Okay I'll take Mr. Weasley dying over Percy then. I think Percy will have to redeem himself somehow and get a big hug from his mum right at the end and then deserves to live.

If we can't double up, I can't have Neville. (Although he's still dead). So I reckon she'll do a Diggory, and it'll be someone we haven't really paid that much attention to before who will come to prominence in this book only to be bumped off at the end. Hmmmm. Alicia Spinnet.

I have just seen a 'first edition' copy of Harry Potter 6 for sale in Oxfam for £25. Surely this is a good investment right? Right???

Where is everyone getting their copy from. I've preordered mine from Amazon, but I think I want to go and queue somewhere for it going on sale at midnight.
