heather now:
I added spoiler space since this is discussing the cover art.

Yes, I think that's a communication patronus, and I thought that even 
before we learned that we had guessed right about the communication.  Yay! 

I think the shadow person in the window sees the fellow coming, and is 
saying "it's him", and another person there is sending out a patronus 
(is it a swan, maybe?) to send for help. 

I like the idea that Harry and DD are watching a memory of the events at 
GH, but I'm not totally convinced by it either.  Find out soon enough...

My S.O. noticed something about the cover too... he thinks it's 
interesting that Harry is the one in FRONT, as though he's leading the 
way and DD is the one following.  Hmm.

I just got my email notice that my copy of HBP has shipped.  :)  And 
I've decided to pick up the adult cover version tonight at the local 
Potter Party heh... so we'll have 2 copies and won't have to fight over 
them.  Never got the adult version before, I have no urge that I need to 
'mask' my HP fandom, I'll read the kid's cover proudly.  But it'll be 
nice to have 2 different versions. 

Then when my son (he's just 7 now) gets to book 6, he can have the kid's 
cover one for himself.  Our copies of 1-4 are the paperback (which we 
got as a box set, arriving late in the game) and he has so far nearly 
*destroyed* 1 and 2 reading them.  I guess it means they're well-loved!  
This way, he can destroy one copy of book 6 and we'll keep the other in 
good shape... lol...

Anyway... this will probably be my last post until after the moratorium, 
since I have a very busy day today culminating in the Potter Party.  
Sonny bubbles is being allowed to stay up till midnight for it heh... 
Such fun... I'll be dressing up as a witch, I have a nice long black wig 
so perhaps I'll be Bellatrix... and sonny has a nice medieval king's 
costume so he's going to go as the Half-Blood Prince!  LOL

See you all after we've read it!
