And speaking of Harry Potter...


Recently I went out for lunch with my freind Melissa and we stopped in at the Yale Bookstore for some browsing. She was looking for a birthday gift for a friend and this brought us to the Italian Literature section of the bookstore. Her friend has been studying Italian for the last few years and Melissa had previously purchased HP and the Sorcerers Stone in Italian for her. We didn't find any of the other Harry Potter's but we did find Sorcerers Stone with this curious cover.
My question is, what the hell is on Harry's head? A rat hat? And is that supposed to be Scabbers lying next to him looking drunk? I understand the dancing chess pieces, but these rats perplex me.
Any ideas?
