Artist's Comments

Entry for :icongmd:'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.

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. :D
I loved what you did in the name, it's so original: Harry=Barry! And it's also closer to Barrie Ingham's name! :D

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!
