Hickengruendler:

The Book covers for the British (adult and children) and U.S. 
(children edition) are out.

The links are on the Leaky cauldron.

The most uninteresting one is IMO the British adult cover. It only 
has the Slytherin amulet on it, which we already know plays a part in 
the book, therefore it tells us precisely nothing knew.

The US edition has a scene, which very well could be from the final 
confrontation between Harry and Voldemort. At the very least, it 
definitely shows *a* confrontation between Harry and Voldemort. They 
are in what seems to be an arena or something, and there are several 
shadows, who seem to watch the encounter. Maybe the cover does not 
reflect a scene from the book at all, but is really only meant to be 
symbolical for the final battle? I can't help being reminded of the 
Colosseum and the circus in the ancient Rome ;-)

My favourite is the British children edition: The Trio is on it, in 
the scene where they seem to find the Hufflepuff-Horcrux. It seems to 
be hidden within a tresure, or something, and the Trio are definitely 
about to get attacked. Ron is holding a (Gryffindor's?) sword. Also 
on the british children edition is a picture of Hogwarts with the 
Whoomping Willow, the Prongs' Patronus and Nagini what seems to be in 
a prophecy orb.
