    Is that a tapeworm on Malfoy?

    Measuring tape, but now I can't unsee the tapeworm in its place.

    Either that or he's getting measured at the tailor who's name I can't remember. :p Madam Malkin?

    Definitely not an improvement over what we already had. Malfoy looks like a fucking water head.

    EDIT: Well, Hagrid isn't so bad I guess.

    I don't mind their looks but, Harry's looking a bit like Perseus there imo. Especially with the orange shirt.

    Ron's shit is whack. Everything else was okay though.

    Ugly. Really ugly in some cases (Malfoy). I prefer books without illustrations.

    This still sounds awesome to me. I will probably get it, as I need to get new HP books as mine are falling apart.

    Malfoy looks like a nazi ocultist trying to summon some nasty critter from the Cthulhu Mythos ;)

    The only one I might approve of is Hagrid, but to be fair, he's 'relatively' easier to do, due to more details being obscured by his general scruffiness. That being said, sad looking Hagrid is sad looking.

    I really don't like how he's drawn Harry, makes him look more like a seven year old than eleven. Hermione, Malfoy and Hagrid look pretty great in my opinion though.

    Eleven is right before boys hit puberty most of the time. At eleven, they really are that small, and they look like slightly taller 7-10 year-olds.

    Also, it's rather hard to make a boy of that age look scary without giving him a head reminiscent of a super-villain.

    Really like Hermione's picture, not just for getting a better version of her hair illustrated but because of all the names carved into the door behind her- Riddle, Slinkhard, A. Moody...

    Huh, nice catch, didn't notice that at first glance. That was the only one I liked though, the rest make me think that I'd rather not buy these.

    Haha I can definitely see that.

    Trust me, I see a group of year 7's every day at the bus stop. They look far, far more mature than that.
