Description
This was so much fun to draw and color. I really missed Harry!Done with pencil and photoshop
The scene takes place the day before Harry gets to leave to Hogwarts for the first time. I clearly remember feeling excitement, anxiety and isolation when I read this for the first time and I hope this drawing projects the same feelings.

I've seen this picture several times since it was first uploaded, but every time it's like I'm falling in love with it all over again. I especially love the lamp

I probably added a comment about a month ago, but it's my new profil, so I will reapeat. I really adore all of your artworks, and even then, when I didn't have a profil on DeviantArt I have been visiting yours since... about 2009. And I have to admit - your nick name is pretty difficult to find on the Internet, so every time I'm finding you, is just like a celebration ^^ Really, you've just bring my childhood for a while, and I don't say it to every Harry Potter fan artist. There is a small group of people that can draw scene from book wchich make me melting

Thank you for saying such wonderful things. It means a lot to hear how much my art means to other people. I try to translate as well as I can all the emotion and feeling that these books made me feel. I am working on quite a few more right Harry Potter drawings right now - check back soon!

So I can't wait to see them! You're very lucky - you're very talented, so you can show other people your feelings by these pictures. Rowling's books made my childhood (or maybe just a part but very important piece of my memory) and I would be glad to draw something just as it egsists in my mind : ) And I will definitely check those new picture (I've just seen the last Potter movie [twice!] few days ago, and that has been such thing for me).

I saw your pictures two years ago for the first time and I really adored them. And it's probably one of my favourite works made by you so far. His room looks cosy, and I think that it was the only piece of space, in which Harry could feel save, when was spending holidays with the Dursleys. Really nice work.

Thanks! Its still my favourite one too.

Harry looks so small and vulnerable here. I love how Hedwig is brilliantly white and fluffy against the dinginess of the room and the muted colours of his other possessions.

Harry is so small and cute and Hedwig looks so fluffy. I miss Hedwig. Particularly like the different shading and shadows of sunset over his bedroom.

You definitely captured the emotion and tone of the moment perfectly...I remember wanting to receive a letter to Hogwarts too when I turned 11, lol!

This is fantastic- it captures the very same feeling I had when I read the book.
I especially love the environment you created, using the colors and texture.

aaaah -dies-
this is so wonderful 
that being said, this is perfect! it absolutely captures that atmosphere of excited aprehension, and the sense that Harry was going into something way beyond himself, and his understanding. the color and composition and style are all gorgeous in a very sad and proper way, i love it that you drew him so thin, after all, he was supposed to be underfed! its easy to forget that when he's always so lean and well dressed in the movies.
ack-- i cant even express in words how much this pleases me, so im resorting to noises.
eek <3

It does capture the moment and the light just makes me more vulnerable, younger even. You feel like you're entirely in the moment... it takes you back to your first day of school when you wake up earlier than your parent because you can't sleep anymore, and just sit there, waiting for the sun to rise.

Love the messy wind, the not quite window scene

I love to see a Harry Potter illustration that is not anime once in a while. This is the kind of illustration I would really like to see in a book. I love the colors and textures you used and how fluffy the owl looks.
