Give this cover spoiler space!
Heeee, the German publisher of the Harry Potter books is letting fans vote on the cover for Half-Blood Prince. The second one looks pretty standard for an HP book cover: the scene is from the end, but doesn't give away anything about the overall plot if you don't think too hard about it. The first one...ha. Ha ha ha. Hahahahahahahaha. Dude, even I would get that, and I am the Queen of Not Making Obvious Connections. Not to mention that it makes the scene look rather comical, which was probably not JKR's intent.
I voted (for the second), because who knows, I might end up buying it someday.
