Jacket art for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I saw the cover today and I about soiled myself. I think that the artist does a great job at aging Harry as well.

Eliza... I know you're a Snape man. I know you're soiling yourself too!

Yes, pretty much. I hope Neville, without Snape hovering over him, did well on his O.W.L.S. as well. That would be great fun. Neville in Snape's classes 4-eva.

My friend Mike and I were discussing Snape’s worst memory. The man was a Death Eater. The man turned traitor and seemingly has submitted his will to Dumbledore and the Order in an attempt to redeem himself, make up for past mistakes (or he's *really* spying on the Order, and still big into the bad mojo and the Dark Lord worship...FIE! ) He’s probably been involved in some truly horrible experiences. Seen truly horrible things.

And having his graying underwear exposed as a 15 year old is his WORST memory? Are you serious?

Forget it. If that's true, obviously Voldemort is not that bad. Obviously Death Eaters sit around sipping tea, eating crumpets, and saving the lives of puppies. Obviously the Order has it all wrong. Voldemort’s been given a bum wrap.

C’mon Snape, I love you, but you’re a friggin’ pvssy.

Of course he did rip Harry out of the pensieve before we had a chance to see what else the Mauraders were planning on doing to Snape.

"It's a challenge to take a character ... and make sure he ages correctly and make sure he looks like he would look if he were to get a year older," she told The Associated Press. "I feel like I'm his mom. I comb his hair or I mess it up, I make sure he looks good before he goes out the door."
