Description Each Drawing varies in side though they are no larger than 7 x 7
Pencil on Paper

*** This is technically a re-posting of this illustration. I plan to do so with all of my Potter art work building up (hopefully) to having some new stuff to share there after. So if you feel like you've seen this before - you probably have. On the upside, I'm sharing it at a larger resolution and without the DeviantArt watermark on it now **

I don't feel like I have much to say about how this chapter turned out. There was a lot of character drawing that went into it, just in the two group shots of the Quidditch teams. That alone should have stopped me from doing as much as I did, but sometimes I get carried away. So I ended up doing a lot of drawing for this chapter. All that said, I do not care for the "Potter for President" bed sheet drawing. It's not that it's done poorly, it's just... I don't know kind of pointless. I think I did it just to have an illustration in a portion of the chapter that wasn't getting as much compared to the rest.

(Minor) Fun Fact: The drawing of Harry falling off his broom, I drew for the painting, but I liked it so much I didn't want to have to shrink it down and fit in the rest of the painting. So I did it as the vignette to be seen better.

Seeing the cat, I can only assume that weird looking man is Mr. Filch.

Correct - that's Mr. Filch and the cat Mrs. Norris

It's actually based on a drawing J.K.Rowling did of him... it seemed a fitting way to go about approaching him

Indeed - it's always nice when the creator has given visuals

My goodness I broke into a snort of laughter at the simplicity of the fly irritating the Syletherin team.

way cool!!! Snape's face when his robes are on fire is priceless and, above all, I LOVE your Lee Jordan   he looks awesome!

Thank you so very much! I knew I had to include Lee in this string of vignettes. It's my chance to show other characters like him, that won't always make it into the paintings, since Harry, Ron or Hemione will most often take center stage.

I'd sooner vote for an 11 year old wizard than the Trumpet for president any day XD.

Only at Hogwarts can you get five points for saving a student from a troll only to lose them for bringing a library book outdoors! I love the movement in the vignettes where Harry is on his broom. The fact that you drew the two entire teams blew me away!

I didn't go into the chapter deciding to draw both the teams... honestly, I don't remember plotting out to do even one. It just sort of happened and one day I was drawing the Gryfindors. Then after that, I felt it only right to do the Slytherins. People do see to be enjoying them though, so, I'm glad I did it

They should have made the movies animated instead of live action imo, and your images capture what I at least feel the should look like. There isn't enough time in the day to reply to all of your work on this but I am enjoying it

You've said way more than you needed to and I'm honored. Thank you for such a thoughtful compliment. I'm glad you are enjoying my Potter art. I'll be sharing more soon and more beyond that is being made.

Truly - thank you
