I really do adore them. They're nice illustrations and I like how they catch my eye and use color and just otherwise look nice. But what I really love is how they seem to capture <i>something</i>. I can't put my finger on it, but they seem to capture the spirit, for lack of a better word, of the book they're portraying. There's a lot of emotion. They seem to pay homage and do the stories justice. I cannot wait to see the rest of the covers.

It's still great that people are continuing to appreciate Harry and Jo, though. <3 AND THAT BOOK. I NEED IT. LIKE, NOW. Wanna rob a bank with me, Aylee? We can share the book! *evil grin* Jo is actually a fantastic illustrator. Which leads me to think that the books would have been PERFECT if she'd drawn the pictures in the earlier editions of the books, instead of Mary Grandpre.
