Pics of the HBP covers came out yesterday and I have to say the UK adult art is so much better than the US stuff by whoever that artist is. Gives us a hint that Harry and Snape will meet again in the potions classroom too. Hmm, perhaps that discredited spoiler might have some weight to it?

In other thoughts about HP and the WW, was thinking last night when reading fanfic that the WW never got breathing space between dark lords. They had two in the 20th century and not much time to recover from the first before the second started rising. Makes you wonder how devastating was Grindelwald and did Riddle capitalise on the disaffection of his former supporters? How long did Riddle's first rise last and was it a "hot" war or was there a long "cold" war type buildup?
