After I posted message 137871, I had a sudden jolt of memory and have 
solved the problem of Harry's writing hand once and for all!

'"Hmmm," said Mr. Ollivander, giving Hagrid a piercing look. "Well, 
now - Mr. Potter. Let me see." He pulled a long tape measure with 
silver markings out of his pocket. "Which is your wand arm?"

Ha!

Bisto!

Going on to the question of the UK artwork, I have replaced my copies 
of 1-5 with the standard Bloomsbury adult editions which are hardback 
with a mainly plain cover but have a large square illustration in the 
middle on the front which is a version showing part of the original 
children's paperback edition.

The artists are respectively:
PS: Thomas Taylor
COS/POA: Cliff Wright
GOF: Giles Greenfield
OOTP: Jason Cockcroft

Each volume has the Hogwarts coat-of-arms on the front flyleaf and 
main title page but, as Sherrie pointed out, there is no other 
artwork.

My HBP is the version with the Potions Book on the cover but there is 
no artist's dedication or coat-of-arms. I expect they will follow if, 
as I hope, Bloomsbury produce a matching volume.
