Yippeee!!!!! But JKR always does this when I get to sleep in, and
my
daughter comes with the excitement of it to bounce me out.
I would venture a guess: the insignia reminds me of the pyramid and
eye on the US dollar which I believe is something like the Eye of
Horus. Don't know all that that means, but I know I have read
something about the EoH concerning Potterdom, probably on Mugglenet.
I am assuming that others have concluded that it is the
Hufflepuff/Hepzibah Smith vault because of the armor which could be
the goblin-made suit that Tom R. offers an improved bid on (US HC p.
435)? There is also what could be a brass plant pot right below
Harry's left hand which was mentioned in H.S.'s rooms.
They would have to gain illegal entrance to that vault, seeing as
they
don't own it and can't talk the Smith's into it. I'm betting that we
are seeing HRHDobby after a battle with the goblins and/or set of
tasks like Sorceror's Stone. Surely one has many obstacles to face
if
entering the vaults in an unorthodox way. They are quite cut up.
I noticed Harry is not wearing robes, but street clothes.
Note that it is full moon, so we get some werewolf action, I hope.
Is that Grawp's face in the clouds?
On the US cover I cast my vote for us looking from the DoM into the
veil. In our realm, the rest of the structure has fallen except one
of the arches, but on the "other side" it is intact. Maybe the
debris
at the bottom results from a Halloween effect, and the usual
barricade
is pulled down?
Anyway, we are happy with this here at our house! Even Dad is re-
reading all the books!
