Images are fine; it's the few pages that have text embedded in the images that concern me (an elaborate border with text inside), and the footnoting. And the Quidditch & Creatures books have handwritten margin notes, that are trouble to arrange in epub.

The issues with illustrations & formatting in the main books are all easy to deal with; for those, it's just a matter of convincing the marketing department that no, the ebooks don't need to look exactly like the originals. But for the three specials, the whole feel of the book would have to drastically change.
