The children's edition cover art was created by Jason Cockcroft, who also did the illustrations for the fifth and sixth books in the series. According to the Bloomsbury Publishing description of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,
Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcuxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him
