***KATIE REPLIES***

I don't understand the whole picture, either, but I do have to point 
out that I don't think he's wearing the locket. It's the moleskin bag 
that Hagrid gave him. The one that he had been putting important stuff 
into throughout the book. As for the rest of that cover...I have no 
idea. Ususally I go back to the cover after I've read the book 
going, "OOh, THAT'S what that meant!" Not this time. I was very 
confused about the cover art. Brits did much better, as they usually 
do. Cheers, Katie
