*** 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 **

When I look back on the Harry Potter series as a whole, I find this chapter is one of those little side adventures that gets forgotten. Heck, in the movies it was cut and/or broken into parts of other scenes, even though the first movie was the most faithful adaptation. But as silly as it is, it's a lot of fun. I'm not going to say I loved doing every illustration, but I had a good time with them.Β Hermione at the very end is one of my favorite drawings I did of her in book 1 and I was really pleased with the group of kids running from Filch and Mrs. Norris.Β 

Fun Fact: The shot of the kids seeing Fluffy, located at the lower left of the collection, is based on a drawing J.K.Rowling did of the group from that moment. Originally Dean Thomas was apparently going to be there, but I had to cut him. I probably wouldn't have given them candle sticks, if that wasn't what she'd given them... but still, it's always nice to pay tribute to J.K.R. whenever possible

Fluffy is one of my favorite monsters of the series.

I like how you remembered to dress Neville in his school robes because he never had the opportunity to go back in to change for bed. The flying vignettes are so cool because they're already hovering. I don't know what's more threatening in this moment: the three headed beast (Fluffy, I think?) or Hermione in full on rage!

I'm impressed that you noticed the details like Neville still being in his robes - those are the kinds of things I try to think of when I do my illustrations. It frustrates me to no end if I miss something. So it means a lot when someone recognizes my efforts... thank you for that!

And yes, it's Fluffy

I love these, they're the highlight of my day Are you thinking about covering all seven books? That would quite something I think!!!

First of all, thank you for the compliments on my art! They are appreciated!

And to answer your question, yes - I plan to do all 7 books - and then some. There is actually more I had posted here on DeviantArt, but due to life-stuff, I've fallen behind the last couple years. So I took down everything and have been going through the process of re-posting it, at larger resolutions than before, and if there was one - give some background on the pieces. But all that is (hopefully) leading up to beginning to complete and share new work. So, stay tuned

I gotta admit, Hermoine is hilarious in that last illustration - she looks like a crabby teacher!

Thank you! She's rarely portrayed with the great ball of frizz she's described as having in the books - I set out to be as faithful as possible
