The cover art for the deluxe U.S. edition of book 7 has been released. You can see it at Leaky Cauldron, or at Scholastic (here: http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/books/covers/art7deluxe.htm) with a neat little magnifying glass feature that lets you zoom in wherever you want.
The official press release from Scholastic says the creature the trio is flying on (during a "dramatic sunset") is a dragon. Are we seeing the return of Norbert?!

Ooh, exciting! If so, I'd say Norbert has tamed down quite a bit! This dragon certainly seems very obliging; three teenagers on its back and it doesn't seem to mind a bit. Another indication of book seven bringing allies out of the woodwork from unexpected places...
I wonder if Lockhart is going to show up again. I'd like to see him, and it'd be nice if he did something to redeem himself, even if it's unintentionally. He seemed awfully benign in OotP, if still pretty hot on himself...
I'm not sure if it's Norbert either. It's hard to imagine ANY dragon being tame and docile enough to let three teenagers ride him. Although more likely Norbert than, say, the Hungarian Horntail. :-) At least Norbert may have fond, distant memories of the trio from his babyhood!
Could the dragon be an animagus?
Ah, Lockhart. It would be interesting if he shows up again! That makes me think we should start a post where we just list characters, events, situations we would love to see...even if they don't seem important or if their occurrence would be unlikely (or even impossible!). Could be fun, that.
