I realize everybody here that's a fanatic is anxious for the new book, but let's not lose our minds, eh? Try to maintain some perspective.

Thank you, the voice of reason.
The hat is not going to go away. From ROC's point of view I can understand why they choose to portrait a wizard with a hat. And not just a wizard, but a wizard private investigator. It is the expectation, even inside the books. To add insult, Harry wears a duster, but chooses not to wear a hat with it. He is just as weird as a cowboy without a hat.
About that duster that he wears. I hear complaining that the covers show it as leather and sometimes not. I see no issue with it, since he is not even wearing the same duster forever. It is not always leather either. Until Susan gives buys him his first iteration of leather duster he didn't have leather, far as I remember. At least one leather duster gets shredded, another incinerated beyond repair. What about a backup? Highly unlikely that he has a duplicate backup given how much effort it takes Harry to put all the spells and enchantments on it.
