Illustration pet peeve

Post-PS illustrations that show Harry with taped glasses irritate me.  Mr. 
Weasley fixed Harry's glasses at the beginning of CoS (when H emerges from 
Knockturn Alley), and presumably he didn't just magic some new tape into 
place but actually FIXED them.  I am assuming that they had broken along the 
existing break.  There are other possibilities, I admit, but I've worn 
glasses for 24 years and when you drop already-broken glasses that's where 
they break 9 times out of 10.

Okay, I realize this observation qualifies me as completely over the edge 
addicted.  But as others have observed, who else can I say these things to?!

When I was little I loved checking the illustrations to make sure the artist 
had paid as much attention to the details as I had, and I guess nothing has 
changed.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest,
Amy
