Again, just an observation, once I finally got the gumption to actually read the text ....... I was deathly afraid of *big* spoilers, I almost fell off my computer chair when I read the "unseasonal mist" bit.  Anyone who is familiar with John Granger's work or heard him speak at Nimbus - 2003 will have the same reaction.  One of the things John emphasizes with regard to the alchemical structure and symbolism in the series is that the hot, dry weather in OoP corresponded with the "nigredo" portion of the work, and Granger told us all to expect the opening chapters of Book 6 to be "wet and cool."  He reiterated that particular prediction (along with noting that we can expect baths, cleansing, rain, Lake references, etc. to figure throughout HBP) in his B&N University course just earlier this week.  I just thought it was *very cool* how spot-on that one aspect seems to be.  

As for the cover-art, I wonder if they might not be visiting Godric's Hollow.  I agree that since Dumbledore and Harry don't have wands out or look on-edge, it appears that they aren't in any imminent danger, despite the presence of the knife in the tree.  I don't know though!

  Anybody have any speculation about the book covers for HBP, especially 
  the recently-released back cover and special edition drawings?  (Don't 
  forget spoiler space if you discuss details of the drawings.)
