Say cheese Harry

The HP publishers have released a few pics of the cover art of DH. These are posted below with the mandatory obsessive detailed discussion.

UK Children's version

This pic is very strange. Firstly are the three friends being sucked into the hole or thrown out? Their poses are not clear. Is the hole the deathly hallow? Is that Dobby clutching onto Harry's back? Is he holding Gryffindor's sword? Questions Questions....

US Children's version

The first (and last?) time, he-who-must-not-be-named becomes he-who-appears-on-the-cover. Again strange pic. Are both Harry and Voldemort (I am not afraid to speak his name) trying to catch something? Or has Harry released something that Voldemort is trying to catch? Who are the people in the background? What place is this? Is that Slytherin's locket around Harry's neck?

And the last pic....this isn't that intriguing but you get a nice look at Slytherin's locket... or at least I assume so. There is no snake involved in the pic. Plus a pic of JKR.
