The cover art has been released for the final Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, due in stores July 21. Time’s Nerd World blog has the details and a much, much larger version of the illustration, in case you’re looking for a new desktop pattern … or wall mural.

“Go long, Harry!”
I greatly prefer the British version. It does rather spoil the somewhat metatextual end of the story though, which sees the chums stumble out of the back of Hogwarts and into JK Rowling’s Money Bin.
The last page has Rowling tearfully thanking the trio for all that they have done for her, before shooting them in the face with a shotgun packed with fivers.

Oh, and PS: if you buy the “adult” version of the cover, you deserve to have all your books thumbed by men who wash with Wotsits.
