[HPforGrownups] Illustration pet peeve

Amy,

This has been one of my biggest pet-peeves all along.  I'm glad you agree!
I was thinking really, why didn't someone fix the poor boy's glasses when he
got to school originally?  I mean he did defeat the Dark Lord, the least all
those powerful witches and wizards could do for him is fix his glasses.  I
'm happy to believe that when Mr. Weasley fixes the glasses in CoS he could
have re-broken them in traveling.  I don't know, it just seems silly.  I
guess it falls along the lines of not giving him special treatment and
always sending him back to an abusive home. *shrugs*

** 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
