Just got the VF photo spread - Nearly Headless Nick really *is* 
dreadful, and the Slytherin house ghost looks awfully jolly for 
someone whom even the other ghosts tend to avoid ... And I 
expected the Grey Lady to be wearing more medieval-style 
clothing, but that was just my first take on her.

One question: the final photo shows Ron sitting on one of the 
knights' horses on the giant chessboard - when I read the 
book, I got the impression H/R/H took the places of three chess 
pieces, which then moved completely off the board and just 
stood to one side. Did I get that wrong?

I don't recall if JKR ever really described Draco except to say he 
had a 'pale, pointed face' in Book 1. But I kinda like the pale hair 
and the pale face; he looks, somehow, like he's got more than a 
touch of vampire in his family tree.
