Weasley whispered, hugging him again. |
“We’ll see you soon, mate,” said Ron anxiously, shaking Harry’s |

out of the station toward the sunlit street, with Uncle Vernon, Aunt |
Petunia, and Dudley hurrying along in his wake. |
This |
book was art |
directed by David Saylor. |
The art for both the jacket and the |
interior was created using pastels on toned |
printmaking paper. The text was set in 11.5-point Adobe |
Garamond, a typeface based on the sixteenth-century type designs of |
Claude Garamond, redrawn by Robert Slimbach in 1989. The book was typeset |
by Brad Walrod and was printed and bound at Berryville Graphics in |
Berryville, Virginia. No old-growth forests were used to |
create the paper for this book. The Managing |
Editor was Manuela Soares and the |
Manufacturing Director |
was Angela |
