Artist's Comments

This was so much fun to draw and color. I really missed Harry!
Done with pencil and photoshop

The scene takes place the day before Harry gets to leave to Hogwarts for the first time. I clearly remember feeling excitement, anxiety and isolation when I read this for the first time and I hope this drawing projects the same feelings.

I love how small the room looks and the cracks in the wall and peeling wallpaper. Poor Harry.

Great attention to detail!

Aw, this is wonderful. I LOVE the colors. And yes, you did convey those emotions. That's exactly what I got from this piece, even before reading your comments. And I love fat, sleeping little Hedwig. Gorgeous piece. :)

May the Re-Fredding be with you.

Aww! He's so little and cute...
The cracks of the wall could be from where Dudley threw a broken toy against the wall back when it was his extra bedroom.
