It's in canon that Harry is right handed.  In Olivander's selecting his wand, 
Olivander asks which is his wand arm, Harry says, well, he's right handed.  
Now, it could be a simple matter of what looked best. Which is a mistake, 
because we're all too observant to just overlook it! OR it could be a mirror 
image on the cover.  Which would explain why everything's blue tinted. Whether 
it's a return to the mirror of Erised (which could be, considering it's not 
been seen since SS/PS) or some other mirror, I'm not sure.  If that's what 
Harry's seeing in the mirror of Erised, it wouldn't make sense.  Candles and 
doors/windows?  Unless he's in a very dark place and all he wants is light and 
a way out!
