OOP: Special Ed. Book Cover - Close Up

[Steve]

No: HPFGUIDX 58305

I saved the OOP special edition book cover that has been used as a
reference in the "OOP: Where Harry Might Go in Book 5" thread.

I doubled the size, increased the resolution, increased the contrast,
sharpened the image, and sliced off the part the shows the book and
the spine. 

If anyone would like to take a close look at it, you can find it at -

Be FOREWARNED!

This images is 1100 pixels WIDE X 3700 pixels TALL and is about
585,000 bytes. That's about 1 minute and 30 seconds to download
assuming your modem data rate is a full 56K. DLS, Cable, ISDN, and
other his speed connections will only take seconds to download. 

Points of interest-

- Near the roof line, just below the edge of the roof and between the
first and second roof window, you will see the script letters 'SS'
that someone mentioned. 

- However, if you look between the second and third window just below
the lower roof line, you will see what appears to be the word 'WAVY'
written in the stone.

Regardless of how you interpret it, there does seem to be a section of
the front of the building near the roof line that has something
written in it; the building name, family name, or my wild imagination,
you be the judge.

- Farther down on the right where the spine meets the face right above
the broken window there appears to be a humanoid creature standing on
the ledge. This could be a gargoyle facing forward, or another
humanoid crouched and viewed from the side. My imperssion is that it
is the crouched side view of an old bald man with glasses (only a
maybe on the glasses).

- Below the window and to the right on the spine, right near to top
tips of the tree branches, appears to be another humaniod creature
clinging to a tree branch (or downspout or something). This person
appears younger and smaller than the other humaniod creature.

- Near the base of the spine, appears to be a large entryway. Note
that the far vertical edge of the entryway appears to be a large arm
and hand reaching upward. If you look at the near edge of the
entryway, what appear to be a hand on the other side could just be an
area where the stone juts forward.

Just thought you might like to take a closer look.

If you can't access it, it's probably because my bandwidth was used up.

Just thought I would pass it along.
