I read somewhere that she used herself as her model for the previous covers, 
so (IMHO) those Harrys weren't all that masculine, nor were they well-defined 
and realistic.  However, since he was a young boy, the masculine 
characteristics wouldn't be as noticeable anyway (such as softer facial 
contours with less definition, no sharp angles of chin, nose, jaw, for 
instance -- I'm an artist, I notice these things).  I think the fact this one 
is less cartoony and more a "realistic" looking Harry can be laid right at 
Dan Radcliffe's doorstep.  But that's just MHO.
