I got the book in the mail today. The drawings are rather nice. The
Potions Drawing appears to be the same one used in the WB Store's

One tiny criticism.....
They really "uglified" Snape! Well, no I take that back. The more I
look at it, Snape looks sort of like Dr. Smith from the "Lost in
Space" TV Series.
