About the Dedication:
Seán
Harris was a friend of JKR's while she attended school at
Wyedean.
Seán
owned a turquoise Ford Anglia and the two of them would escape
in the car to hang out under the bridge by the
Wye River,
drinking and talking about life. Rowling has said that in many ways the
character of Ron Weasley is
similar to that of
Seán,
although she didn't intentionally use him as a model for the character.
Obviously the Anglia
owned by Mr Weasley has its
origins in the old car
Seán
drove.

This cover of the US edition, by
Mary GrandPré, shows
Fawkes flying
Harry,
Ron, and
Ginny
(Lockhart is not shown) to
safety after the defeat of Riddle
in the
Chamber of Secrets.
This is unusual, since most covers show the
flying car.
