I'm not sure. For the lighting I'd say Silver Doe scene, but you can see there's more people behind Harry so that cannot be. And if it was the Forest Again, there's no fire between Voldemort and Harry.
Sorcerer's Stone is the Mirror of Erised moment, though.
I watched the video in 1080 on full screen and it looks like the back of the DH is the H/V battle, if you look in the right hand corner you can see people watching.
I can't wait to get this set home and get a good look at everything
Starting tomorrow, and each day for the next seven days, we’ll be revealing the back covers of the books! They’re beauties, just like the front covers; each features a “fan favorite” scene from the book. It’s Kazu’s way of celebrating you, the Harry Potter fans! Stay tuned right here — we’ll be posting them at 9am ET starting tomorrow.
I guess that influenced by the film version of the film he decided to only show Harry's parents and not the room full of relatives that appear in the book. I'm fine with that, though.
Will they be changing the chapter images as well or will they be from Mary too? I really hope they are changed it would really pump me up to reread the series.

They confirmed they will keep GrandPré's illustrations.

According to Amazon it looks like they're keeping the original chapter art because Mary is listed as illustrator too.
Amazon now has it listed for $54, you can get free shipping if you can wait for a few days to receive it. If they lower the price you'll get it for that one. I just pre-ordered mine but I may wait until and see if they start selling it for less after the first day when more vendors start to sell them.
It might be because I haven't read Chamber of Secrets in a long while, but I don't remember that quote, heh. Though it is very relevant to the whole book -- Tom Riddle and the diary.
"I mean that this diary holds memories of terrible things. Things that were covered up. Things that happened at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
He is responding to Harry's question of "What do you mean?" in regards to the diary.
I like how he looks a bit taller from SS back cover. So Im thinking all of them are going to be Harry facing something like that... Since in POA the front cover is of the dementor attack I wonder what he will face for the back cover. Or maybe its him on Buckbeak. Hmm..
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Rich. The Harry will grow and be just a little taller every back cover. Great idea, like the spines. Really shows how you get to see Harry grow up through the books.
It will be great to put them all side by side, showing Harry year by year, growing a little. With each year, naturally, the background will be darker in tone. By the end, we see how Harry has truly grown from boy to man.
I don't like any of these last two. Why is Harry not the focus of the back cover for PoA? I liled the concept of the imges showing him facing stuff alone.
As for GoF it seems silly that they decided to showcase the same scene twice.
I wouldn't be surprised if they use a Dumbledore quote during OoTP as well. That whole "Something I should have told you years ago..." during the Prophecy explanation.

The first one is the Mirror of Erised... look in the video.
Sorcerer's Stone is the Mirror of Erised moment, though.

I guess it is just the color choice of the mirror reflection, but Lily's hair looks as dark as James'...

But you're right, it would be great for a reread if they did.

I like how we can tell who some of the students are on the PoA back-cover. Hermione, Ron, Harry, Neville, Seamus (possibly) and Parvati.
The choice is weird for Goblet of Fire, since that is the same time-frame as the scene on the front.
As for GoF it seems silly that they decided to showcase the same scene twice.

And maybe even something about Horcruxes in HBP.
SS- Dumbledore
COS- Tom Riddle
POA- Sirius Black
GOF- Hermione Granger
OOTP- Ron Weasley
HBP- Severus Snape
DH- Harry Potter
