Description (2009) 6.5" x 12" Pencil and pigment ink on paper.

Continuing with my Mucha-inspired wizard series.

"La Sorciere" is my own version of Narcissa. I will continue drawing her like this rather than what we had going on in the movie...

This is an entry into the HP contest by for 7/31 which is open to any character.

Thank you! I started imagining her and drawing her before the movies and I have to agree I was a little disappointed by the casting as well as the hair style they gave Narcissa. I had also imagined her sister Bellatrix to look quite different (when I picture her she looks more like Claudia Black than Helena Bonham-Carter). I think those were the only two casting choices where my own reading of the books differed very much from what they ended up filming.

i must admit that i see her a little differently from this but i love your design, and i didnt really like the style of her in the films (helen mcrory is awesome though).

Thank you, like yourself I love the actress, but I just pictured Narcissa with long flowing white blonde hair.

It's exactly how I imagined Narcissa when I read the book. The version of the movie is so disappointing.
Your work is amazing.

This is lovely. I agree that the movie Narcissa is a real disappointment. She should be this coolly, patrician and blonde and beautiful. I think you've captured the true Narcissa.

Sorcière indeed, as well as a great Narcissa and a very "Mucha" one as well. I prefer your Narcissa, she meets my imagination of the book character best.

Ich kann es nur immer wiederholen- Du wÀrst die perfekte Narzissa für den Film gewesen. Ich war sehr enttÀuscht , vor allem von der Frisur. Scheußlich.

Lieben Dank! Mir haette es nichts ausgemacht - obwohl natuerlich die Tatsache, dass weder englisch noch Schauspielerausbildung ein Problemchen gewesen waeren.

Auf jeden Fall haetten sie etwas bessere Casting und Frisurentscheidungen treffen koennen. Es ist ja nun nicht so, dass man huebsche, blonde Schauspielerinnen mit der Lupe suchen muesste...

Naja, ich habe schon Standards, andere vielleicht nicht. Aber darum gibt's ja so viele Filmchen, wo die Leut' bloss denken, sie muessten gut aussehen und cool rumstehen... Ich glaube wirkliches Schauspielern ist ein Handwerk, das eine genauso harte Lehrschule hat, wie jedes andere!

LOL! No duo-tone hair here. Why would they do that? She's not a Hufflepuff, and it wasn't in the book. I guess they already wanted to put that look on Lucius, but had no luck, so whatever wig dwarf had the original "brilliant" idea finally got their way.

I know! Siblings CAN have different hair colors, she doesn't have to match Bella. Plus it makes her look like Jason Isaac's mother, not wife.
