Which is why it is so much better. 
I know Grandpre didn't do that cover. She DID do the American one 
and it, like the others she's done, is awful. Well at least it 
doesn't feature Snape with a goatee. Thank heaven for small mercies.

The British books are not illustrated. I have a British copy of PoA 
which mercifully lacks Grandpre's "interpretations".  
She READS them? (yes that's facetious, I've also heard that she gets 
them early) It seems amazing to think she's read them when you look 
at her renditions. It's pretty clear she's never read a description 
of Snape.
