And they are SO untrue to the arms as described in the
books - Gryffindor should have a lion rampant, not
just a lion's head, Rawenclaw chould have an eagle
ascening, not just an eagle's head, etc.  The charges
seem legitimate enough as heraldical charges, but they
are treated in a very inappropriate manner
(transparent lion's head?).  Whatever is on top of the
shields is unfitting in my book (which, when the
library gets around to it, will be the Oxford Guide to
Heraldry) - the Slytherin shield actually makes me
think of the signs used for Interstate Highways in the
US.
