Okay. I know you're joking, but I have a crystal clear memory of seeing Voldermort in that suit in the film and thinking "wow! This suits him! He should wear this instead" and then immediately feeling incredibly embarrassed of my own self. That scene was to impress upon the viewer that Voldy is evil and lonely and Harry has the Power of Friendship and I'm there going like mmm nice suit Mr. Bald Man. Like? Why? Why am I like this.

Why, in the second cover, did you choose a water splash image that has peppers in it? At first I thought it was to convey the hot, spicy passion within the novel. But sis, those are *bell peppers*. A rating of 0 (zero) on the Scoville scale of pepper hotness. Only spicy if you're white as Voldemort's trouser snake. Are you even Ethnic™? 🤔🤔🤔
