McGonagall a Spy???
I don't buy the theory at all but it is amusing.

The thing is I totally don't picture her as a spy but....
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if JK threw this twist into book 7. I mean I never expected Snape to kill Dumbledore, that took me by surprise (even though it was all over the net days prior to the book coming out).

Isn't it the house elf holding the sword? It sort of looks like he might be trying to hit Harry with it!

Yes. He has one hand on the sword and the other on Harry's shoulder.

She actually said that some reader's theories are better than her own ideas so it wouldn't surprise me that this is one of them.

You're right. Now this gets even more interesting. I'm assuming it's Dobby b/c he's the only house elf I can picture helping Harry. Winky & Kreacher wouldn't help him IMO.

Thanks for posting that link. And in the comments from that one is another essay I believe.
I totally can't see her as a spy either, but it's crazy enough that it might just be true. How perfect is it that Snape is good and Minerva is bad? At the same time, I don't think Dumbledore would have been taken in by someone like that. That's been my defense of Snape all along. Dumbledore trusts him so he must be good!

Last time I pre-ordered mine and it was delivered on Saturday the day of release. I pre-ordered this one and it said the shipping date was the day before release.
Do you have any idea how pissed people would be if they couldn't pre-order it and have it arrive on the day? The shipping companies would never hear the end of it.....

Really? I am going to pre-order mine from Borders. From what many posters & friends have told me, I will get it that day which is definitely a plus.

I pre-ordered books 5 and 6, and it worked out wonderfully. I plan to pre-order book 7 as well.
Thanks for posting the link to the Minerva Theory, BDE! That was such a great read!

Doesn't it just mess with your mind though? I usually reread before the next book comes out so I'm going to be keeping an eye out for that.
JKR has said that her fans have come up with better ideas than she did, this could be an example, but either way I can't wait!

For those of you who pre-ordered the book. When exactly did it arrive - since the book release is at midnight. Did you get it the day it was released at midnight? Or the next day?

The artwork for Canada's version of Book #7 was just released today by Raincoast Books.
Kid's cover above.
Adult cover below. (I personally am digging that Slytherin pendant....)
And the American cover from Scholastic is here (sorry...I couldn't find a better pic)

It's all good. It's much funner to see them. I'm going to see if I can find a picture of the entire cover, front & back so we can see them.
