Is anyone else sort of underwhelmed by the Harry Potter 7 cover?

The placeholder "we-don't-have-the-cover-art-yet" cover on Amazon looked better.

SERIOUSLY! It was all black and silver and ominous.

I was whelmed once in college. I had to sit on an inflatable donut for days.

Maybe it's like a celebrity deathmatch in the wizarding world.

I don't hate it, but I don't adore it. So I guess underwhelmed is probably right. The British adult cover is pretty cool, but the lack of two-tick quote marks would drive me batshit.

As mentioned above, I liked the "We don't have a cover yet!" placeholder much better. The style of the books used to be sort of cutesy kids books, and then in OotP they went all monochrome and it was appropriately teenaged. This is like a step backwards.

I totally have 90 things I need to do at work and I'm analyzing HP covers. Shoot me.

wow, that's incredibly boring.

RIGHT? The thing I linked to has the little magnifying glass, and I totally spent time trying to find neat hidden things in the picture. Like, "That can't possibly be IT."
