Well, everyone's already seen this, haven't they? (Thanks, Jessica, for providing the giggles in Natter a few days ago!)
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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."

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
the UK children's version is super fuggggly.
This is why I always buy the adult versions.
The cover on Amazon does look like there's a row of gravestones--especially clear between Harry and Voldemort, at the line between ground and columns. The columns actually look to me like supports for a viaduct or railway bridge, except the perspective would have to be very strange to make such a thing seem curved like that. But they are arches, you can see the sky behind, so it's not a fully enclosed area. The 'curtains' have very ragged bases-- I can't make any sense of this but they look more like bunched hair. But then, the UK children's cover seems to feature Harry, Hermione and Ron flying through the Stargate onto a dragon's horde, so anything is possible.
ETA: This picture gives a much better chance to analyse the UK children's cover for questions like, "who exactly is holding that sword?", "is that a jar or some armour in the bottom left hand corner?", and "how many bruises does Hermione have?"

I think it's Ron holding the sword and armour. (Armor? How the heck do we spell that over here?)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I thought it looked like a house elf or a goblin on Harry's back, holding the sword.
And I think those are people, not gravestones on the US version. Look at the shapes closest to Voldemort, very head shaped.

SuziQ, you're right -- definitely a House Elf or Goblin but my guess would be House Elf.

I'm thinking house elf, myself - but am scared of Dobby.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Full version of the US cover.
(1) I think those are people (or souls if the curtain is The Curtain).
(2) I can't tell if Harry is wearing the Slytherin amulet/locket.
(3) Voldemort is TOTALLY doing "Stop! In the Name of Love!"

If you click on the picture to expand it (you get an annoying popup) but you can see that Harry is wearing the pendent/amulet/locket.
