GEO: But I don't believe those initial books had adult editions so 
those examples aren't really comparable in my opinion.

GEO: But do you think the courtroom scene in GoF or the flashback to 
the Hogwarts of Snape's time would have made a good cover for Goblet 
of Fire or Order of the Phoenix? I for one think they wouldn't have 
and would have been very misleading if the publishers actually did. 
They may be relevant and important to the plot, but certainly not 
coverworthy.
