Entry for
 's May/June Summer Contest. This was a monster to complete, a real challenge from start to finish. I based the picture from the VHS and DVD covers to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Philosopher is the word used in the British version of the story.Basil is naturally Harry with one letter changed to fit more to his voice actor's name. I know it's spelled Barrie, but the variation is closer to Harry. Dawson is Ron Weasley, Olivia is Hermione Granger, Hiram Flaversham is Professor Albus Dumbledore (I just can't stop making him a wizard, can I?), Toby is in the place of Hedwig, Fidget is the Goblin Bank Teller from Gringotts, and Ratigan is Draco Malfoy (yes, sporting blond hair!). Originally in Ratigan's place is Hagrid, but I had to put the villain in there somewhere. The background is a clouded sky from my Corel disc several shades darker for a nighttime setting. The Big Ben clock is from one of my London photos. The makeshift balloon and dirigible were too hard to draw, so I used the paint tool to make them two silhouettes. The Fonts are HarryP and BernhardModBT. Both have been on my '99 IBM computer for years. The Great Mouse Detective and its characters is © Eve Titus/Disney Harry Potter and its characters is © J.K. Rowling/Warner Bros. Comments
 This is so cute and wonderful! ^^ And Ratigan with blond hair is the most amusing XD But I love the way you colored it too!
-- "But isn't it the same thing not to lie and to tell the truth?" said the boy. "Certainly not! For to avoid lying you have only to hold your tongue; and do you think that comes to the same thing as speaking the truth?" - Giacomo Casanova  How gorgeous this is! I loved to see Ratigan with blonde hair, and Dawson and Olivia are perfect as Ron and Hermione.
Basil looks just like Harry, with those glasses and the smart look in his face.  I loved what you did in the name, it's so original: Harry=Barry! And it's also closer to Barrie Ingham's name! -- The biggest The Great Mouse Detective fan you will ever know.  "Goodbye, Johanna! You're gone and yet you're mine... I'm fine, Johanna! I'm fine..." Sweeney Todd  Sir Cardi CardiLady Oh, my God! This is wonderful and it makes me laugh. Please don't take as an offense. This is really cute! Basilove is right! Barry is closer to Basil's voice actor...Barrie!
 I see what you did there. I and I liked it.
 -- The past five months of my life have been a living hell. C: Why does the prospect of death have to be so alluring?  Haha< i love this! It's way better than the art I posted up for the :gmd: movie contest.
I especially love how you did Dawson as Ron, haha -- I'm The Cat in the DeviantART Cartoon Obsessions Crew!  This is great! I love it, and Ratigan looks hilarious with Draco's signiture blonde hair!
-- ~Gracie ”This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” -Hamlet, William Shakespeare  That is totally awesome!
-- Jack: 364 days a year, I can't even go to the ding-dong grocery store to buy pudding!! And do you know why?! K.P.: Ooh! *raises hand* Is it because you're HOT?!! Jack: YES!!! Wait...what?  Brina, you must've read my thoughts. I was thinking about Harry Potter at work ALL DAY today!
-- xXTracksTheWolfXx  This amuses me greatly. <3
-- I'm riding the Korean Wave, baby!  Thanks so much! The funniest part is Ratigan with blond hair. He bleached his roots!
