The three sites listed in the links section of this page all have HP 
pictures. But some of the pictures are a bit hard to find unless you 
can read Japanese, so here is some help:

http://www.ne.jp/asahi/miraiken/aliel/haripota/harrypotter.html

Click on 1-6 for pictures
Bottom link- "Go>>>" - takes you to another page with more links to 
pictures.

http://www.geocities.co.jp/Bookend/4822/harry/harry0.html#Anchor-49575

A picture of Harry appears as the background to this page: the rest 
of site is text only.

http://www.alpha-net.ne.jp/users2/akuru/harrypotter/har.index.htm

Lots of pictures here: click on the (japanese) links listed 
under "Illust" and "Comic"

The illustrations seem to be of PS/SS and CoS, which are the only 
books to have been translated into Japanese so far, I think. PoA is 
out in English in Japan, but GoF is definitely not available there as 
I have spent vast sums of money shipping hardback copies of GoF to 
British and Canadian friends in Hiroshima!

There is a bit of confusion about the dreadlocks in a (Japanese-
language) discussion on the page. Someone complains of the lack of 
dreadlocks in Lee's picture, and has obviously read the book in 
English, but someone else replied asking her what "dreadlocks" are, 
so maybe they *aren't* in the Japanese-language edition. Thinking 
back, I didn't see any dreadlocks during my time in Japan, so maybe 
they aren't common. I just ordered HP in Japanese so perhaps I'll be 
able to find out soon ;)


Hope the link information is of help.
