Hi-res cover art for HBP

First, here.

As to who I think the people are.... well, Ron and Hermione are obvious. The redhead, though? I'm pretty sure it's Lily, just because I thought I saw  a  hint of green eyes, and it would make sense. However, I can see it being Ginny, though I think she'd be with Ron and Hermione if that were the case. (Speaking of  Ron and Hermione, was it just me being Shippy or did they seem very close together?)

I think that the "thing" is a potion of some sort.  I'd say pensieve, except that they've been used so much in the plot before.

Now, finally: anyone notice that the cover was green, and  that the rumored title of book six was "Green Flame Torch"? Ironic.... not that I think it's anything past irony, unless JKR made it green on purpose. Still, interesting.

Heh, now I'm getting *very* excited!

*spazzy*

Oh man, I want it SO badly to be Ginny, but that's just the H/G-er in me. I mean, it could be. She just may not be next to Ron and Hermione because, in Harry's eyes, she's a different kind of friend :D
I don't think it's just you being shippy about R/Hr being very close together, although I'm certainly not unbiased enough to judge :P
I think it's a Pensieve, just because of what looks like runes around the rim. It could also be a potion, which would make it relate to the UK adult cover.
That DarkMark in it makes me very nervous.
Argh...so much to think about. I just wish July 16th would get here!!
