The New York Times Magazine, October 6, Harry Who?
Photographer: Richard Burbridge
Designer: Arem Duplessis- "This classic Richard Burbridge portrait of Danielle Radcliffe, shot in his trademark heightened black-and-white style, reveals a grown-up Radcliffe not yet at ease with his fame. The extended ascenders and descenders in the typography reference the Harry Potter logo and also serve as a framing device for the image."

Being a kid who absolutely loved reading and re-reading the Harry Potter series, I couldn't be more happy to see that Danielle Radcliffe was in one of these covers. This one really stuck out to me in the fact that I haven't seen him in too many films or magazines lately - but being reminded of him really seems to bring up old movies from childhood. However, just as much as I love the model / subject of this shoot, I also have noticed a few flaws that seem to lessen the greater qualities of the cover. A few being; The summary seems to not be shown as much in the photo ( if I had seen the photo without the description, I probably wouldn't have understood the cover completely. The exposure and lighting seem to be well done in this photo, but it would be better if the photo would have included a slightly lower ISO and if he was doing a little more action.
