Somewhat lost in all the talk about the book covers is something the
American editor Arthur A Levine said in an interview on the Today show
when those covers were unveiled. He confirmed that there would be
deaths in the book and said he was "sobbing". The interviewer
commented that must mean somebody we readers like dies, but all he
would say is "it's a very emotional book". It's not looking too good
for poor Harry.
