Dumbledad & TLC:
 
>>> The original Bloomsbury cover by Thomas Taylor includes a  rather
bizarre-looking figure on the back. The man in the picture really  doesn't
match any character in the book, although fans have speculated that  it is
supposed to represent either Dumbledore or Quirrell.

Mary: Thank you so much for posting this! I've wondered who the wizard on  
the back cover was supposed to be!  Since so there are already so many  
differences between PS & SS, I just figured it was a "generic UK  wizard" and left it 
at that. I was much more interested in the text differences  between the two 
books. 
 
One of my favorite memories is of my then 12 year old niece, listening to  
Jim Dale read the US edition, while she followed along with the UK  version.
