Description I bet you thought I'd never draw another Harry Potter pic again...well you were WRONG! This is from Chapter Five of Book II. Pencil and white chalk on speckled matboard, 14"x18".

"That," panted Ron, "was close. Well done, car---"
The car, however, had reached the end of its tether. With two sharp clunks, the doors flew open and Harry felt his seat tip sideways: Next thing he knew he was sprawled on the damp ground. Loud thuds told him that the car was ejecting their luggage from the trunk; Hedwig's cage flew through the air and burst open; she rose out of it with an angry screech and sped off toward the castle without a backward look.

I think you would have been an amazing illustrator for the series.

All of your Harry Potter fan art is so much better than anything in the books.... I wish you had illustrated!

I really love the composition of this, the way Hedwig stands out near the bottom there is really brilliant Wonderful motion overall.

I love the moment this captures. And Hedwig, of course, looks great, especially against the color of the paper!

You really make up for all of those less-than-adequate drawings in the American books!

THANK YOU, Nico! Long live HP! This is absolutely LOVELY, as always your details are delightful! I particularly enjoy the 'broken' in this picture ... Ron's wand, the window glass and the spring poking through the tilted seat!

I also adore your general composition - you always seem to capture really wonderful angles and perspective! Please pardon the expression but you really give us an action-filled bird's eye view!

Well done, as always. But I think their legs look a little... not startled enough? I imagine that once they were clear of the car, they'd be flailing with all their limbs.

I think they are a little stiff! I was using photos of boys getting thrown from horses...I know when Willie threw me, I went all stiff and landed spread-eagle in the arena, staring up into his stupid horsey face above me.
