Special Edition Cover revealed

[pixey]

Actually a really cool cover and the last mode of transport I would have thought. Really cool dragon! Norbert, Horntail or Dragon from Gringotts (look at it's eyes!)?

Norbert, probably. The Horntail had basically a morningstar as a tail and the Gringotts dragon was only hinted at (and they'd never give the thing away).

 

At least THIS cover looks somewhat cool.

Over at the Leaky Cauldron there is a major discussion going on whether it is Norbert or an Opaleye. The Opaleye is in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

 

Antipodean Opaleye

native to: New Zealand (and Australia)

habitat: valleys

appearance: iridescent, pearly scales

size: medium

eyes: glittering, multicolored, with no pupils

flame: vivid red

food: sheep

eggs: pale grey

 

 

Does sound an aweful lot like that dragon. The Opaleye does not eat humans either. Dragons arent usually friendly so we can't wait to hear how they are actually riding one.

 

Did you also notice that the Dragon and Hermione are looking at the same thing? Are there Dementors around? Notice the foggy clouds. Also in none of the 4 covers is there a wand, now thats interesting.
