three pretty pictures

First, in honor of Harry's 23rd birthday, a GIP.

Second, while I was playing with screen captures on CoS, I realized that Tom Riddle's uniform doesn't have a house badge on it, just the Hogwarts crest. His uniform has other differences too, which makes sense, as it's 50 years old... but it's interesting that the filmmakers went out of their way not to tell us what house Tom was in. I brightened the picture up a bit so it's easier to see. (At first I thought it was a Gryffindor badge, which would have been... odd.)

And third, I've spent some time trying to draw a picture of Remus Lupin... and I've spent some time not having much luck. It's very easy for me to draw what I see, but drawing what I only see in my mind takes some doing. That's why I was so pleased when I finally managed to sketch something yesterday that looks quite a bit like my mental image of Remus. It's unfinished, but the basic features are there.
