Hermione's Ancestry

No: HPFGUIDX 7333

Under the high security conditions under which the books are brought 
to press, I suspect that JKR simply describes the main elements of 
the stories to Mary Grandpre, who then creates her illustrations  
without having actually read the books. The girl on the cover of book 
2 had red hair -- maybe she didn't understand that it was supposed to 
be a different girl on the cover of book 3.  Now I'm curious - are 
there other "errors" on the covers and other illustrations?
