Rowling might be writing an eighth for charity, something encyclopedia-like. It's not continuing the story or happening anytime soon, but she said she's looking into it, according to an interview I was watching.

Yeah, I read stuff about that too, including all the character detail we never knew that'll be cooool.

Yeah, crazy. I mean I assumed Harry was an Auror; then I heard Rowling say both he and Ron "revolutionized the Auror department" and Hermione is "pretty high up in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement" or something like that. Somehow I was expecting something more unexpected. I wonder if Ginny works at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes?

omgz!! Yeah, maybe... although I imagine that Lee Jordan works with George now.. cos he was their best mate. I dunno

Yeah, Wooot for Harry, Ron and Hermione

probably, unless Jordan got used to doing radio. I see him as a radio personality or sports announcer, only because he loved being the emcee for Quidditch games.

Yeah, true. But he couldn't do sports commentary unless Angelina was playing haha

I just drew something very similar to this one!

Of course, yours is about 120% better than mine. XD

Don't be silly. You were inspired to create something as homage to a powerful moment, the same as I have. That alone makes the efforts equal. :]
Thank you though.

The look on his face is inspiring. It is JUST how it is supposed to look- and believe me, portraying this moment is no easy task. For that alone (plus the wonderful artwork), I applaud you and love this very much.

clouded-ambition In reply to BowlsOfRain [2007-07-25 20:05:53 +0000 UTC]

Rowling described Harry as ready to meet his fate, completely resolved to die, but still suffering of panic and dread that any normal creature feels when faced with its own death. I wanted to show that demeanor and also show how much Harry has matured in this story.
Thank you very much. I am very happy that this piece seems to mean so much to so many people.

man this part was so sad =/ i really thought he was going to die, i started crying and everything.
but this is an amazing depiction, captures eveything perfectly.

clouded-ambition In reply to DefeningSilence [2007-07-25 19:58:46 +0000 UTC]

I like how Harry took it like a man, almost like he knew he wouldn't really die. I guess that convinced me too, while reading the chapter, that he'd be okay. And then he goes all badass by playing possum under Voldie's nose for the longest time, the clever little devil.

Thanks much!

La-Abeja In reply to ??? [2007-07-24 20:46:46 +0000 UTC]

It was odd, as soon as this chapter came up, when Harry started talking about how he was going to die, and the chapter basically built it up...

It was then I realized he wouldn't xD I was so worried that he was going to die, until it started getting built up, that long.

It was still incredible, I adore the emotion you put into the picture. I especially like the glow of the snitch, and the lines on his face. Great job!

clouded-ambition In reply to La-Abeja [2007-07-25 19:55:28 +0000 UTC]

hehe, you sound just like my best friend. She finished today after having a busy weekend and barely being able to start it; she felt exactly the same sense of panic about Harry's death until she realized he'd survive after all. :]

Thanks so much. I love doing art like this because it's really expressing what I had felt the moment I read that passage. ;] And I do love that Snitch.

Thank you so much. Such a comment truly means a lot; don't worry--this is coming from someone who is usually rather dismal at digital art--, all you need to do is observe [not only what's in front of you but other artists' styles and techniques], stay inspired, and practice. ;] Although I won't pretend to be an expert, lol.

Thanks I will practice at my digi-art. I'm just trying to think of something to draw from Deathly Hallows, I don't know what though, there were too many amazing moments in that book.

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the snitch, I was zoomed in working on it after looking at google for some minor details [where the wings attach, the pattern on the body, etc] and when I zoomed out, I was pleasantly surprised on how well it came out.... I don't really do digital art so that was exciting. :]
