Hello, i'm new here and even though i'm sixteen i enjoy these
conversations about harry potter much more than those of the other clubs
i am in. to reply to this message, to larry, i know that the covers are
very inaccurate. They are beautiful, yes, but they do not show how more
adult the book is...they continue to show harry in damaged glasses...i
think it is because the illustrator doesn't really read the books and
doesn't understand how serious it is becoming. Also, harry still looks
in the pictures like he's nine years old when he was going on fifteen by
the end of book four. I know that jkr doesn't even know the illustrator
of the american books personally. i would be much happier if the pictures
were more life like ...

p.s.: Is it not ironic that the fourth book sports a large picture with
harry wearing his biggest smile of all...yet,the book is the most tragic
and the finale of the book has the least of laughing matters.
