:iconvizen: has this great open challenge: Draw a Hogwarts Corridor!. And so - rather quickly done - my contribution:

In Half-Blood Prince, Harry every now and then encounters mysterious lone little girls standing around in a certain corridor on the 7th floor, near a tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy and his futile troll-ballet efforts...

Of course I just wanted to draw the troll ballet!! I have a soft spot for trolls, and even though Rowling writes that Barnabas eventually fails in his attempt to put trolls in tutus, I thought it would be kind of cute to have a few trolls actually trying, before they get fed-up and start demolishing everything. Also the total anachronism of the medieval spelling I put in ("agaynste alle odds - Barnabas fatuus (foolish)") the tutus (I know nothing about the history of ballet costume) and Barnabas' trendy retro legwarmers, gave me much pleasure.

Great illustration with the awesome tapestry of course also being a bit of a humorous swipe at the equally frustrating project that Draco has in trying to repair the cabinet and making attempts on Dumbledore's life...

*ROTFL* The tapestry!

It's great, and I love the expressions on every character's face. There's life in the picture.

I always laugh about this tapestry in the books. Thanks for making it real. :aww: Wonderful drawing, as always. Perfect in every way.

ach wie toll, ich war sofort begeistert - und Mrs Norris schleicht auch schon wieder herum :)

Perfect. Hilarious. You always put those little details into your drawings. That's what makes them so enchanting.

I always love your work, this being no exception. Your pictures are always vivid and so brilliantly observed I could swear you were there, sketching away under an invisibility cloak. It's little things like that cat making its way down the stairs.

So quickly and so perfect. I knew you'll do something I could only love. The trolls are only pleasure to the eyes, but all the characters are great and ahah, Mrs Norris ?.... Excellent !
