i agree with dadcakesfan.looks different all time very advantage for daniel.
i love this cover.edward /johnny (my favorite tim and johnny’ movies),daniel/harry,bono (my favorite band),sarah/buffy (my favorite series),lisa simpson (my favorite cartoon).wow its amazing.
Agree with you both, Star and Miriam. It’s said that the movies make more than the books which makes sense when you think that each movie makes almost a billion dollars each, and if the average price of a ticket is $10, that’s a whole lot of seats they’re selling.
Of course, i am also just gleeful that they positioned H/D in front.
“Star” wrote: “It’s not Dan who is the icon. it’s Harry. Harry is the one in the front. Don’t confused the two. And Harry deserves to be in the front. It has nothing to do with Dan.”
Just wanted to point out that this is a different Star from me. I don’t post here very often anymore, but I wouldn’t have posted this. I know Dan and Harry are two different people, and I wouldn’t dream of suggesting everyone else here doesn’t know it, too.
On the topic at hand, what a great cover. :)
