book covers of OoTP

I like the American book cover the best of the three,
but upon seeing it I immediately started wondering
what was on the back cover. The back covers of the
first four books have continuations of the front cover
art, so I assume the same is true of the OoP cover.

I'm also wondering about the candles. The candles near
the bottom right corner of the cover are kind of
ghostly, translucent looking. At first I thought they
wee somehow on or part of  Harry's robes. Notice also
how the flame and smoke of all the candles are
sweeping towards the left. It looks like a breeze is
blowing them from the right, or maybe the movement of
Harry's arm is causing it. Harry is looking back
behind his shoulder, in the direction the breeze would
be coming from, almost as if he is startled by
something behind him.

This and the blue color scheme remind me of ghosts.
There's definately a spooky feeling to this image for
me. Makes me wonder if ghosts will play a larger part
on OoP.

The blue color is nice, but a bit jarring when viewed
next to the other four books, wich are largely done in
red, orange and green. Might look a bit out of place
on the shelf next to the others.
