I don't suppose it's got to do anything with HP, at least I don't remember anyone literally hanging around in the greenhouses, but the idea of HP instantly crossed my mind as well

It's incredibly striking and I love that at first glance it just looked like a girl clutching a mandrake, but then I follow her gaze and see the real focus. Goodness, this piece is awesome!

Brilliant incorporation of the legend which tries to explain the anthropomorphic Mandragora root, said to grow under the trees used as gallows. This is because during the asphyxia stages, along bowels and bladder being empties, sometimes, the sudden innervation of the pelvic nerve, a hanged man would ejaculate and from the "seed" spilled on the ground, Mandragora supposedly grew.
I don't know if this is indeed what your artwork has incorporated with the hanging man, but the concept and execution are beautiful! Congratulations on the well-deserved DD!
