HP&HBP covers revealed *coud be spoilery*  
So sweet!

The Leaky Cauldron just got hold of the covers of HP&HBP... possible spoilers...


So... whoa...

Adult version. Potion book (which looks cool). Someone is making a potion?

My first thought was of how Voldemort became nearly invincible and was able to survive an Avada Kedavra rebounding and maybe he did that by brewing a potion and maybe he kept a journal or something... Surprisingly enough that was part of an idea for a fic I had.

But then the cover of the potion book says Advanced Potion Making so maybe that thought is out but the Scholastic cover looks like Dumbledore and Harry brewing a potion together. Of course, Dumbledore looks really creepy but that's not the point. So maybe Harry is making a potion to help him in the fight against Voldemort. Because Harry is supposedly be able to at least theoretically have a 50% chance of killing Voldemort otherwise the Prophecy is void but we haven't seen any evidence of any power strong enough to kill him. Harry protection from his mother disappeared when Voldemort used his blood to ressurect himself unless the fact that Voldemort used Harry's blood proves to be his downfall because remember that gleam in Dumbledore's eyes in GOF when he found out Harry's blood was used.

And oh god my brain is going to explode if I think too much.

But dude, check out the cover on the British kids version which is probably the one I'll get because it comes out first he in Australia. There is fire and wands and that should mean there will be a huge battle of some kind which is always fun except last time there was a big battle Sirius died so :(

Like I said, I will stop now before brain fizzles out.

Woo

I have some interesting thoughts about the new Minister for Magic thing, and I think it will be Lucius Malfoy.

That would be terrible, yes, but I've seen sometheories about it on those essays where they talk a bit on each character's names. There's a pretty interesting coincidence going on with Fudge's name.;)

Er, what's the thingy with Fudge's name?

But Lucius is in Azkaban and he got labelled a Death Eater so unless he has a really good PR person I don't think he will be. Oh no, UMBRIDGE! She could be the new Minister which would be just as bad.

But I think Amelia Bones might be the new Minister unless it's someone we don't know yet. She is on the Wizard Council thingy and is head of Magical Law Enforcement. My vote's on her.

Here's what I got from http://www.theninemuses.net/hp/2.html

"There was a pope named Saint Cornelius, whose reign was marked by the controversy over the lapsed (those under persecution who had renounced Christianity). Cornelius's leniency toward the lapsed drew the support of the bishop of Carthage, St. Cyprian, but aroused the opposition of the Roman priest Novatian. He was exiled, then martyred in 253, where he was succeeded by bishop Saint Lucius"

I know it may be just coincidence... But what a coincidence!!

Whoa.

JKR does tend to use names with special meanings so maybe that isn't a coincedence. But Lucius is in Azkaban and while we know he's going to break out I still don't think he will become Minister. Unless of course Voldemort completely takes over the Ministry.

Damn these hidden meanings.

Yeah, it could happen.

But I do think Voldemort will take over the Ministry, then Hogwarts would have to stand together against a common enemy (and here I go thinking of epic battles lol...*sigh*).

I think JKR enjoys herself seeing fans making up bizarre stories and theories...

Most likely. She is probably sitting there, giggling to herself and calling us all fools :)

Yeah, I think Hogwarts is probably going to be the site of a major battle of something. Voldemort will have to attack it to take over the world and all. That would be cool to see though... Hogwarts in flames...

OMG the children's book cover! It's Dumbledore and Harry making a last stand in the burning ruins of Hogwarts!

And there goes another wild theory...
