Harry awoke very suddenly on Christmas Day. Wondering what had caused his abrupt return to consciousness, he opened his eyes, and saw something with very large, round, green eyes staring back at him in the darkness, so close they were almost nose to nose. “Donny!” Harry yelled, scrambling away from the elf so fast he almost fell out of bed. “Don’t do that!” “Dobby is sorry, sir!” squeaked Dobby anxiously, jumping backwards with his long fingers over his mouth. “Dobby is only wanting to wish Harry Potter “Merry Christmas” and bring him a present, sir! Harry Potter did say Dobby could come and see him sometimes, sir!” Chapter 23: The Yule Ball, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling This represents one of my favorite scenes from Harry Potter 4 that was left out of the movie. It makes me giggle every time, as I imagine Dobby so close to Harry’s face, staring at him like a cat eagerly awaiting their morning meal. Not sure why I got the urge to paint this during summer, but inspiration doesn’t care about timing. #harrypotter #gobletoffire #dobby #dobbythehouseelf #dobbyisafreeelf #christmasinjuly https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzt2CuolVOE/?igshid=ma23zys2pd94
