I can't see it as though he's looking in a mirror.  I see him just 
swooshing around because something, or someone, caught his 
attention.  He's looking up towards the ceiling? So I'm thinking he 
turned so suddenly it caused the candles around him to move the same 
way he turned because the other candles in the background are moving 
the opposite direction. 

Has anyone noticed the reflection of the candles *ON* the door.  I 
think the doors have mirrors on them.  And if that's not the case, 
the doors have glasses on them because you can see candles.  Seems as 
though he maybe in a "fun house"?

When are we going to see Grandpre's Hermione and Ron up close?

Greicy, who's very happy the cover is her favorite color, blue and 
that Harry looks like a teen! =)
