Could it be The Curtain
Oooo, good call, Empress.
edit: What must it be like to be the artist for these things: "Make it interesting! But don't give anything away!"
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What must it be like to be the artist for these things: "Make it interesting! But don't give anything away!"
No shit.
Eventually, I'd just repaint the damn thing with "HE'S FECKING DEAD" on the cover and put crosses over Harry's eyes.

Art Crawl!!!
Ooh, that is a good call.
In non-HP book news, Oprah has chosen Cormac McCarthy's The Road for her next book. I haven't read it but I have read some of his work -- this strikes me as an unusual choice for her.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
AAAARRRRRRRRREE YOU READY TO CONNNJJUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRE!
Okay, this made me almost spit broccoli on my monitor!
Also, I like the idea of the curtain being The Curtain.
But then Chatty!Co-Worker and I came up with an alternate scenario -- Harry and Voldemort are appearing in a musical, and the curtains are just theatre curtains.
I mean, look at them. Those are CLEARLY musical theatre poses. (Voldemort is more or less doing the Stop! In The Name of Love pose, and Harry kind of has an Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' thing going on there. What? Look at the cover again -- there's CLEARLY a bright golden haze on the hallows.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Harry and Voldemort are appearing in a musical, and the curtains are just theatre curtains.
Someone sent me a link to their fic once, in which (if I can clearly remember the horrifying details) the Hogwarts students put on a musical. Snape sang "Music of the Night" to Harry.

I think I read that, Dana. It was scary.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
this strikes me as an unusual choice for her.
After the light summer fare of As I Lay Dying, I'm not sure what Oprah is trying to do.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All the reviews I've seen for The Road have said not only "This is fantastic" but also "Everyone should read this", so it kind of makes sense to me that Oprah would choose it.
She says not having read the book or known anything about Oprah's book club other than it exists and is a strong force for selling books.
As I Lay Dying? For real? That's kind of, I don't know, neat.

Well, everyone's already seen this, haven't they? (Thanks, Jessica, for providing the giggles in Natter a few days ago!)
