I have done the photo editor thing with the ring and it looks to me
that the carving in the ring stone is of two figures in a handgrasping
pose - the same pose that is on the fold-in sections. 
I am thinking does this mean that the biggest clue to the plot of HBP
on this cover is that there is going to be a kind of Older Wizard
younger Wizard bond, perhaps a confirmation of the Tom-Salazar bond.
What say yer? ;D


Valky
Thinking the boat is really worth discussing but not able to clearly
make out the figure inside it in the reflection and wondering just
what is overhead in the reflection (the moon?).
