About the book covers. It is obvious to me that the trio plus the elf are being sucked through a stargate kind of thing in the UK cover. And the US cover shows what they are sucked too. 
   
  Since the background color within the 'portal' is the same as on the cover of the US edition.
   
  I think that with the right hand and the left hand thing Grand Prie is pulling a classic muggle magicians trick called sleight of hand. 
   
  She wants us to look at the reaching hand (his left) and ignore the right hand which seems to have slammed a book ( The Bible, Riddles Diary, A ravenclaw horcrux, Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone? Pride and Prejudice?) onto an altar of sorts and if you look closely a spell of some sort, seems to be either stabbing into Riddle or sucking Riddles life force out. 
   
  Maybe Harry has found a way to force Riddle soul back into the Diary, from which it can easily be controlled. 
   
  Harry might be trying to shield his eyes from the light of God's or Godrics wrath. 
   
  The broken pieces of wood sort of remind me of a cross.
   
  We do know that HP is supposed to be a Christian tale according to JKR.
   
  Hogwarts seems to have mist drifting towards it as if under a Dementor attack on the UK cover. That would explain Harry's Patronus. We all expect a Battle of Hogwarts, so that makes sense. 
   
  What do you think?
