Now, from all the previous pics I've seen, she's a bit of a frumpy old trout, but I must say she looks well tasty there!
What do the PH collective reckon? Yay or nay? And have some of the potter millions been spent on a trip to the plastic surgeon?

It's amazing what a few million pounds will do to a formerly socialist 'let's distribute the wealth' teacher.
Not distributing much now, I bet.
Try $35 million to charity...
"Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling will make up to 35 million dollars for charity with two new books from the shelves of Hogwarts: "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" and "Quidditch Through the Ages."
Eleven million copies of the books will go on sale in more than 100 countries on Monday, March 12. Rowling is donating all her royalties to Comic Relief and the charity expects to make at least £2 for each £2.50 book sold. Printers, distributors and booksellers are all waiving their profits, fees and payments. It is one of the biggest single donations to a charity in the UK.
"I didn't want to write a short story because I'm no good at short, as you can see from book four. So I've written two of the titles that appear within the novels and I have done some illustrations for them. You should buy them because they will save lives," Rowling, a long-time supporter of Comic Relief, said.
The first 10,000-word book is called Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, and is written under the pseudonym of Newt Scamander. It is mentioned in the Potter novels as one of the books in the library of Professor Albus Dumbledore's Hogwarts school and features such beasts as hippogriffs and blast-ended skrewts. The new book tells where such beasts come from, what they eat and what you should do if you ever meet one face to face. The second 42-page book, Quidditch Through the Ages, by Kennilworthy Whisp, tells the history of the most important sport in the wizarding world. Two million copies of each book will be printed in Britain by Bloomsbury."

Writing History:
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1999), and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2000). These were followed by two short books from Harry Potter's world, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2001). The profits from those two went to a British charity, Comic Relief.
