Tonks - It's amazing that, for a character
who can and does completely change her appearance at will, everyone's
image of Tonks is remarkably similar.
¤
Tonks
and Lupin Eat Cake - Innit cute. He looks less than convinced.
Kingsley Shacklebolt - Yeah, he looks like
a combination of Cobra Bubbles and Teal-c, but that's how I see him
in my head.
Lucius Malfoy - The strongest effect the movies
had on me was to completely erase my image of Malfoy's dad and cast
Haldir in his place. I know it's not the same actor, but the hair made
an impression. Finally I managed to shake it and came up with this little
sketch.
Bellatrix Lestrange - It's a gag sketch,
but this is more or less how I see her, at least before Azkaban worked
its magic.
Argus Filch - Not at all how I picture him.
He's holding Mrs Norris, who is not at all how I picture her.
Nearly Headless Nick - The long-suffering
Gryffindor ghost. This drawing is remarkably sophisticated for how old
it is.
Frank Bryce - The gardener of the Riddle house.
Well, I tried. For a list of all the things horribly wrong with this
picture, see the Goblet of Fire section.
Walden McNair - [Animal] Executioner for
the Ministry and also, it would appear, a dapper gentleman from the
20s. Hey, ask my imaginaton, not me.
Vernon Dursley - With emphasis on the moustache.
Petunia Dursley - She's supposed to look 'horse-like'
but the best I could manage was vaguely stringy.
The
Dursley Family - Under seige by a scary giant with a pink umbrella
in the hut on the island.
Nearly Headless Nick - Or, officially, Sir
Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington. Really, with the date he was supposed
to have died, he shouldn't be wearing that collar, but that's what it
says in the book....
Merope
Gaunt - Gee, you'd think I liked Brett Helquist's
art or something. I'm not sure her face is 'heavy' enough, but she's
got the frazzled, desperate look I was going for. Her far hand is supposed
to be on something but it's too high for a sink or counter ... any lower,
though, and it would mess up the action line, so I don't know what to
do with it.
Morfin
Gaunt - I realised while drawing this that I had cast Deagol as
Morfin. Um.
Harry
and Scrimgeour - I was so pleased with my earlier design for the
Leonid man described on Ms Rowling's site that I was disappointed when
he had a small and two-dimensional role. Oh
well.
¤
Rea's
Fenrir - There was a rumour for a while that Stephen Rea might play
Fenrir Greyback in the movie. I'd only seen him play burdened, reserved
characters with a hangdog expression so I thought this was how he might
approach the role ... 'Grr.'
¤
Bathilda
Bagshot - She was surprisingly easy to draw.
¤
Regulus
- Forget Percy, Regulus is the family David Hyde Pierce.
¤
Contemplating
the Mark - An imagined scene in which Regulus comes home from getting
his Dark Mark and contemplates it for a while. I know it's on the wrong
arm; I could flop the image but ... meh. Looks good this way.
¤
Kung-Fu
Grandma - Neville's Gran kicks random Death Eater butt! Or face,
in this case!
¤
Lucius
is Eeeevil - Drawn in reaction to that shot in the movie. There
is no Lucius but Makani's Lucius! I did this one with no reference at
all, so it's probably way off... and, obviously, the mouth is all curly
...
