Description This is my version of the events at the end of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. You'll notice that they have black ties rather then the school colored ties. I thought for the funeral at the end of the book they should wear black ties. In Harry's hand you can see him clutching the fake horcrux.
Ron and Hermione are in the back. I was pleased with Hermione's bushy hair.
I originally wanted to do these cool layered clouds, but in the book was described as a perfect day.

The image was traditionally drawn, but everything here was created on computer using my drawing as a guide. It was really weird drawing Harry more grown up. I noticed the scene looked so stagnant, but I added the leaves to blow in the wind.

I'm normally a fan of much more realistic drawings, but this works surprisingly well. Definitely worth a fav.

I don't like drawing things realistically. I say that if you want something to look real. Take a photograph.

True, but you can't really take a picture of a fictional event.

You can set up events. They make Harry Potter movies and take pictures.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed this. I actually entered this in a Harry Potter fan art contest and it didn't even place in the top three.

wow this is such a good pic.

i was really happy it was a perfect day in the book. rain is so cliche for funerals... honestly, can't good things happen when it's raining? *sigh* But you did really good with making it look sad and forlorn without the use of overcast days.

y'know . . . i bet they'll make it rain in the movie. they always ruin everything in the movies. *sigh* poor poor Lupin.

Thanks. I wanted to make the clouds gloomy, but the book described a sunny day. I thought the blowing leaves gave the feel in their place.

You captured this moment in the book very well. Harry has the "save the world or die trying." look I pictured him having, good job.

FoxxFireArt In reply to Psylum2 [2007-02-20 06:44:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I really wanted him to have that distant look. I wanted the picture to have cloudy skies, but in the book it said the day was sunny.

I didn't even have to hear beforehand that *spoiler* will die, cause he acted like that from the begning
I liked the Cho girl more (if that's her name)

I thought he would die, but I just didn't expect it in that book. Cho was an emotional nutcase.

FoxxFireArt In reply to beanie [2006-05-21 06:01:41 +0000 UTC]

Cool. My first sketch was crapy. I drew everyone a little too real looking and for some reason that never feels right. It just feels natural to draw them looking like toons.

Can you believe I entered this drawing in a fan art contest on a fan site, and it didn't win in any place? It wasn't the other art people made was better. People seemed to be voting on the moments from the books they liked rather then teh quality of the art.

It's beautiful. I love HP ^^
I am according that it would be better with a "depresive" sky, but like this it's goin pretty well too
I love the leaves and how' you made Harry's coat (or how to say )

FoxxFireArt In reply to Aerhonella [2006-05-17 19:09:10 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to make the sky really gloomy, but if you read the description of the day in the book it said that there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I thought it was more important to stay true to such an important moment in the series.

It's a cloak or robe, but I get your meaning. lol I wont be calling the gramer police THIS TIME.

Yeah well then I like the blue 'shadow' on his cloak ^^ And I think Hermione is really really pretty.

Yeah it's a bit of a spoiler, but you will notice that I didn't say who's funeral. Also, if you are a fan of the series and you don't know by now. That's their fault.

FoxxFireArt In reply to ShrunkenJedi [2006-05-17 17:42:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I just never like to draw the trio very real. It feels more natural to draw them with a more cartoon look.

FoxxFireArt In reply to Sheridan-J [2006-05-17 17:41:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I knew I couldn't get the mood in the sky. So I had to really work hard on teh characters expressions and give everything a very soft, muted feel.
