🎃Rubeus Hagrid🎃

Larger than life and a heart to match it :) I love Hagrid. He's so amazing. Despite all the tragedy in his life, he remains a friend to all. He is so positive and happy about little things; even though he knows darkness, he chooses to live in the light. We could all use a little Hagrid in our life 💛

I love how hardworking he is and how much he cares about the school and the students. He makes sure there are pumpkins with the Halloween feast, he takes care of the creatures in the forest, he invites Harry and his friends over for tea and a chat, because he knows Harry didn't have anyone looking out for him at the Dursleys. We don't deserve this man! 🧡🥹⚡️

Cho Yule Ball

Dress designs for Cho at the Yule Ball ❄️✨ In the book, her dress robes were described as silvery Chinese-style robes. Now, I don't know nearly enough about traditional and modern Chinese fashion, so I took the description with a very large grain of salt. For a few designs, I took inspiration from the Hanfu, a traditional Chinese garment, and I wanted it to look witchy. After all, this is a Wizarding BALL. It's all fancy fashion and odd influences from wizarding culture. I imagine Cho was very careful to choose her dress robes. She wanted something that felt like 'her'. After all, it's one of the few times they're allowed out of their uniforms and into something personal. She's a pretty popular girl, so she would wear something flattering, yet not too complicated. Cho doesn't need much to look and feel beautiful <3 Like the dress robes for the Patil twins, I took inspiration from Chinese culture, but just a little. Cho is not defined by her heritage, she's her own person. It's up to her to choose whether she wants to dress traditionally or not at all. I added some sapphire and bronze touches for Ravenclaw because she would be proud of her house. Also, I can't draw JUST silver, because then I would lose my mind :) I already did silver for Fleur and two in a row is a lot of one colour... 💙🧡 What do you think? I personally really like 1 and 6...

Luna at the Yule Ball ✨🌠🩵

It’s not mentioned in the books that Luna attended the ball. She would have been too young, but I like to think she had been asked to go. Maybe some fourth year was dared to ask her and then didn’t want to hurt her feelings when she said yes, or she had a friend a year above her. Who knows? In my ideal world, she attended the Ball and made an impression.

She would have planned her outfit and put a lot of thought and effort in it. Personally, I think Luna looks great in pastels. With her blonde hair and blue eyes. So, I tried to incorporate those colours🎨 I also tried some bright ones, but I think I’ll stick with my pastels :)

What are your thoughts on Luna attending the ball? Who would she have gone with and what would she have worn? 🧡

🪽Cho Chang🪽

There have been a lot of Gryffindors the past months… and I love all those characters, but I am getting sick of the red uniforms. I LOVED getting to draw Cho in her Ravenclaw colours. She is gorgeous, smart, athletic, popular, has loads of friends and a big heart 💙 She has faith in her friends, forgives them for making mistakes, because after all, we’re just human.

And I think she and Cedric made a cute couple. Let’s all be honest, Harry didn’t actually like her, he just thought she was pretty. And that’s not enough to start a relationship.

PS: can we all agree that Quidditch uniform looks so good on Cho? Damn!

PPS: Also, new art might be taking a bit more time now. I have a full time job working creatively, so most days I’ve run out on all my creative energy. But I love working on these and will definitely finish the whole series. I want to draw all major Harry Potter characters in the wizarding world! 💫
