There's been a lot of Potter-related excitement in the Pen and Pencil household this summer, what with the final film being released (which we loved!), so there's understandably been a fair amount of Potter-related artwork done as well. Some of it hasn't been worth posting, but yesterday to celebrate Harry's birthday, I thought I would try to do something that could be posted here. (This doubles as a Sunday Sketches post, I should say.) I have done drawings celebrating Harry's birthdays in past years, usually of Harry gleefully looking at a cake that Ron and Hermione have prepared for him, but this year I wanted to do something a little different, inspired by something Hermione said in
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. I was just a
little disappointed that we didn't get to see Harry's birthday in the movie, but at least Hermione made reference to it. And here you can see her and Ginny making their festive plans:

I bet it was quite delicious. Maybe they'll make another one for his 18th birthday.
And now, because a Harry post wouldn't be complete without a picture of Harry, here's a quick sketch I did a couple weeks ago inspired by the penultimate scene in the last film. Big decision you had to make there, Harry. Well done. Though you might have fixed your wand or repaired some of the castle first... Just sayin'. (Though I guess the wands of the survivors could probably handle a good deal of the repairs, except of course Filch's... lousy Squib. Ha.)

Aw, these remind me of the old days where we would sit around on Harry's birthday and Draw pictures for the occasion. I was so excited when Harry was actually with people on his birthday in the books. You raise some good points about fixing the castle...
