Hello.  I've been a lurker for a long time and have only posted once, 
quite a long time ago with my theory that Ginny will be revealed to 
be an animagus (transforming to a cat).  

Wanted to put in my 2 cents on this cover, specifically the two hands 
bound by the gold rope thingie.  I'm surprised no one has yet 
mentioned this, but as soon as I saw it, I was reminded of the end of 
GOF when Harry and Voldy are drawn together in that golden web, just 
before Cedric et.al. came out of Voldy's wand.  I think that Harry is 
going to face Voldemort head on in this book and those two hands 
represent Harry and Voldemort.  They already have a number of magical 
connections (sharing powers, viewing each others' thoughts, feeling 
each others' feelings, same wand cores, etc.).  Perhaps there will be 
a showdown in this book, where Harry ultimately fails (perhaps 
Dumbledore dies here - Harry blames himself?), but manages to 
survive.  This could leave him in a very dark place before his final 
battle in Book 7.  

Thoughts?
