This is a picture of the interior of a compartment on the Hogwarts Express.  This is also called Having Too Much Fun With Nice Coloured Pencils.

This spring I had the crazy idea to draw Harry as he was before the first book, and it wouldn't leave me alone until I did.  So here's my second attempt at it (the first was really quite hideous) and I'm rather pleased. 

And then, of course, there's a certain prefect who likes to glare at people.  Percy Weasley.   I am one of those people who believes Percy's going to go bad, by the way . . .all the pieces fit.

When you have a last name that's also a real word, the opportunity arises to make weird visual puns.  This peculiar picture illustrates the phrase "pitch black." See, Sirius is being pitched ... This was one of those late-night ideas that sound really funny at two in the morning, but the next day you look back and say "What was I thinking?"  In case you were wondering, this was drawn before the movie by the same title came out.

This is the first drawing I did of Hagrid.  It's on the same page in my sketchbook as Harry pleading for his letter back, if for some odd reason you wanted to know.  I know now that he should be wearing a coat, not a cloak as is drawn here, but I just can't bear to go back and change a picture in a retired sketchbook.
