Rowling the artist

I was just at a bookstore where I looked at a deluxe edition of 
Sorcerers Stone and saw a pen and ink drawing of Harry Potter drawn 
by J K Rowling herself. I was stunned, I had absolutely no idea she 
was such a fine artist! Even more stunning (and pleasing) this is the 
first time I've ever seen a picture of Harry that conformed with my 
mental picture of him, and it doesn't have the slightest resemblance 
to that jerk on the cover who claims he's Harry Potter. If this woman 
is not a genius then I don't know the meaning of the word.
 
My only criticism of Rowling is that she should have never let her 
editors talk her into changing the title of the first book for 
Americans, Philosophers Stone is about a thousand times better. I was 
pleased to note that although still called Sorcerers Stone in America 
the characters in the movie will talk about the Philosophers Stone in 
the movie.
