<<Many many messages ago, the debate over who is the weirdo who used to
be on the back of the UK paperback grew so heated that babyNick actually
ASKED BLOOMSBURY!!!>>

Although Nick is usually the one in contact with the publishers, it was
me who wrote to them about that particular quandary. They were very nice
and answered quite quickly, bearing in mind that I contacted them the
day before GoF was launched!

I had thought it was Nicolas Flamel until that point, but that did trigger
Simon into digging out a link on the real Nicolas Flamel, so it wasn't
a wasted debate.

I think the wizard picture was changed after about the tenth printing.
