Artist's Comments

My (so far, uncoloured) entry for this month's Potter Art Contest, and this year's DMP Project Potter Extravaganza (unless i decide to a better one in December). 70+ Potter characters in various Halloween costumes. Huzzah!

I dedicate this picture to Matt at [link] - without his crazy reviews and stuff, I would've been stuck for ideas.

FRONT ROW:
Bill Weasley - Pantomine Dragon (Bottom Half)
Charlie Weasley - Pantomine Dragon (Front Half)
Fluer DeLaCouer - Playboy Bunny
Arthur Weasley - King Arthur (ala Graham Chapman in Monty Python's quest for the Holy Grail)
Daedalus Diggle - Mad Hatter
Fred+George Weasley - Zombies
Percy weasley - Invisible Man
Luna Lovegood - Alice (as in In Wonderland)
Umbitch--sorry, Umbridge - A Toad (Cause she looks like one. And not the cool type that hangs round with badgers and rats and moles and steals cars, shouting "POOP POOP!" either)
Dobby - Dracula
Ron Weasley - Skeleton
Potter (as in Harry) - A Wizzard (with two Zs - ala Pratchett)
Minerva Mcgonigal - Puss in Boots! (The first of several Gryffindor cat-girls. Call me obsessed if you need to, cause i am)
Hermione Granger - Witch's Cat
Ginny Weasley - Nekojin (full-on Felicia style kitty-girl)
Moody - A Priest!
Neville - Viking (with Anglo-saxon Trevor)
Kingsley - Lurch-style Butler
Tonks - Elvira (I'm not 100% sure who Elvira actually is - from what i understand, she was a very popular goth-style hostess of horror oriented U.S.A programs in the mid-80's. I just thought Tonks'd look good in that dress)
Dennis creavey - A PUMPKIN!! (Could he be Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin? We'll never know...)
Quirrel - Dr. Jekyll
Lockhart - A Dashing Highwayman! Wooo!

MIDDLE ROW:
Lily Potter - Morticia (as in Adams)
James Potter - Gomez (as in Adams. I couldn't help but envision Harry's parents dancing the Tango Adams stylee)
Sirius Black - Professor Frank N' Furter (From The Rocky Horror Show - I know I've made at least one person very happy with Sirius get-up... *cough* Jenna! *cough*)
Remus Lupin - The Doctor (As in Doctor Who. Quite possibly my fave mix here. I thought Tom Baker's humungo scarf worked well on Lupin ^--^ )
Cedric Diggory - A Ghost (ooo! The Irony!!)
Dean Thomas - A Mummy
Seamus Finnigan - A Leprechaun
Lavender Brown - A Banshee! (..so i'm amazed Seamus is standing next to her...)
Parvati and Padma Patil - Those Bloody Twins From The shining
Katie Bell - A Tiger
Crabbe and Goyle - Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Draco Malfoy - Alex (from a Clockwork Orange. Which i watched last night ^--^ )
Pansy Parkinson - The Slytherin Snake
Marcus Flint - Caveman
Igor Karkaroff - A Pirate
Viktor Krum - A Raven

UPPER ROW:
Myrtl - An Angel (Sorry. I must be the only person alive who finds Myrtl's character slightly attractive..)
Fudge - Santa Claus (An odd choice - but there's story behind it, that goes a little like this ...

David (Me) - Who should i do Fudge as?
Llewy - Santa Claus!
David - Why? Because he exudes a sense of false genorosity?
Llewy - No - cause he's a fat pillock who got the date wrong!

...so there you go!
Hooch - Owl... or even better, the Ravenclaw Eagle!
Trelawney - Large Insect of No Discernable Species
Cho Chang - Geisha (She's even crying here! STOP CRYING LUV!!!)
Zachariah Smith - The Hufflepuff Badger
Dumbledore - Gandalf
Lee Jordan - Crazy tribal Witchdoctor!
Alicia Spinnet - Cheetah (or is it Leopard..?)
Oliver Wood - The Gryffindor Lion
Angelina Johnson - Panther
Voldermort - Darth Vader!
Wormtail - "Igor!" style henchman
Macnair - Executioner (I love Macnair...But i don't know why...)
Bellatrix Lestrange - The Devil
Lucius Malfoy - Jareth, the Goblin King (aka David Bowie in Labyrinth)
Dudley Dursley - A Pig!
Severus Snape - Orlock/Nosferatu style Vampire
Barty Crouch Junior - Scarecrow (We have a lion, a scarecrow..but no tinman!)
Barty Crouch Senior - Grim Reaper

TOP-MOST ROW:
Hagrid - Sasquatch!
Olymp'e Maxime - Princess Leia
Filch - Sherlock Holmes (with party-hat toting Mrs. Norris)
Nearly Headless Nick - Cavalier
Tom Riddle's Memory - Schoolgirl (Britney Stylee. Scrap Lupin - THIS is my fave design here ^--^ )
Peeves - Jester
Uncle Vernon - Teddy-Boy
Aunt Pertunia - no-one inparticular, she's just wearing one of those god-awful dresses...
Dementor - A Dalek (From Doctor Who - he's holding the EXTERMINATE Sign)

Who can't love Lucius? ...just don't imagine him singing that song 'bout magic-dancing and hurling babies in the air...*shudder*

But it wasn't a rock / It was a ROCK LOBSTER!
:iconmadcarrot:
Lucius would make such a good Jareth.

Only I don't know if Lucius could bear to do that funky 80's thing with his hair. XD

Still, let me ask -- how long did this thing take you to draw? :O

David, this is really warped. Good, but warped, methinks another dose of Pratchett, this time paying more attention to the works of Leonard of Quirm (please forgive spelling of names - our son has re-claimed his copies of the Discworld's historical documents), Gaspode, and Corporal Nobbs, to enter the enviable estate of the "truly warped" . * wanders off thinking, "I've got to restock that shelf".*
