$60 retail.

God damnit why does this have to come out during Comic Con?

 

[Brannon]

I hear the deluxe edition has the ending while the regular edition has Harry squaring off against Voldemort saying "I'm here to finish this fight!". Then you read a chapter on Venus Flytraps and the book ends there. Is this true?

 

[aparisi2274]

ummm all I read about the deluxe edition was the extra pages of hand drawn artwork...

From BN.com

This Deluxe Edition will include a 32-page insert on special paper at the end of the book featuring near scale reproductions of Mary GrandPré's interior art, as well as a never-before-seen piece of full-color-art for the frontispiece. The book, which comes in a foil-stamped cardboard slipcase printed with the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince cover image, will also include a blind-stamped cloth case, full-color endpapers printed with the jacket art from the regular edition, luxurious foil, and a wraparound jacket featuring exclusive, suitable-for-framing art from Mary GrandPré.

Meh, I'll just get the regular edition.

I'll be picking up one of the UK versions of the book. Then I dont have to deal with that ugly artwork the US versions always seem to get

 

[Patrick Klepek]

I'm a huge ass Harry Potter fan and I have no idea how I'd justify $60 for artwork

The US books have the best covers and they just get better every release. The UK art is laughable... looks like Hardy Boys art.

I was about to say, I'm getting the Deluxe Edition from B&N for like $37 and change, what gives... Hahahah.

 

[Crow]

I will be getting the adult cover for the sake of keeping uniformity in my collection. Not only for uniformity sake though, I tend to think they look much better.

 

[ohamsie]

I'm sorry, but I find the UK versions of Harry Potter ugly. At least you guys got the better Resident Evil 4 cover though.

 

[kIdMuScLe]

can someone buy one for me from B&N? i will pay back n stuff..... i don't want to pay $45+ for it.

 

[Sagitario]

I'll be fine with the regular version...

...too bad I wont be able to read it until next yeat

ROFL. Tell me that is bad version you posted and not one you like!!!?!!!
:lol

 

[Willco]

UK art kinda sucks.

 

[jet1911]

The UK art looks good in comparison of the France one.

 

[borghe]

lol.. anyone who says GrandPre's art is awful is f'ing crazy. Even rowling herself has said she is a bit jealous that the US gets GrandPre's art, because of it's near flawless depiction's of the scenes. I will lookfor it but she has even said that some of her later descriptions and text were based off of GrandPre's style.

freaking heathens.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

though I will say I liked COS and GOF's british covers a little better. still loved GrandPre's covers, but the uk covers for those books were pretty nice.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Yeah can't see myself paying for that...

 

[themadcowtipper]

These double post are freakin killing me

 

[BarneyBP]

I met GrandPre once and had her sign a copy of Order of the Phoenix. She was great in person and cute too.

Now for what I mean to ask. Can I get that $42 deal for the deluxe edition in a Barnes & Noble store? I don't want to order it online because then I'll have to wait to get it.

Order it from Amazon and you'll get it on the release day.

 

[Odnetnin]

i want a pb version.

[methodman]

This is one of the better U.S. covers released. Most of the time, the UK covers are better.
