LMRourke

Of the art that I have in my Harry Potter collection that isn’t scenes from canon, the overwhelming majority is character portraits. I love art that really captures the essence of a character, and LMRourke absolutely nails it, just about every time. In fact, I’d say her drawings have had more of an influence on how I picture the characters when reading than the movies have – high praise, considering how many times I’ve seen the movies! ;) Unfortunately, because portraits don’t always fit into the books’ descriptions particularly well, I will almost certainly be including less of her artwork than I’d like to, but I’m so pleased to be using all the pieces I can, and I highly recommend a visit to her website for more.

  1. Wowee! These portraits are astonishing. It’s clear that this artist has great talent for drawing her image of the characters! I can picture all of these snapshots hanging in a cluster on a wall in the Burrow, moving and mingling with each other.
