A perfectly peaceful piece of Luna and her thestral by artist Anthony Wu. I love how this piece appears as if we're hiding behind a tree in the forest silently watching them interact.

As you know, thestrals are only visible to those who have seen death….can you name any other Hogwarts students that have the ability to see thestrals besides Luna?

New Artist Submission: Bill Perkins

Make way for the half giant on a flying motorcycle! This piece by artist Bill Perkins definitely gives me the feeling that Hagrid is about to fly over my head.

For those who aren't familiar with Bill's work, you'll be surprised to hear that he has worked on numerous classic feature animations such as Aladdin (Art Director), The Little Mermaid (Layout Artist), Beauty and the Beast (Key Layout/Workbook Artist), and most recently Winnie the Pooh (Visual Development Artist).

When asked what inspired him to create this piece, Bills expressed, "A flying motorcycle! Very cool. Though I took a bit of a liberty with time in the storyline the idea made visual of destiny coming at Harry through relentless owls delivering mail, and a Giant on a flying motorcycle to help him escape his obsurd life with his aunt and uncle."

New Artist Submission: Cory Loftis

Here's a totally fun and kooky piece by artist Cory Loftis. Hermione has never been good at Divination and she is notably frustrated here trying to read her steaming teacup.

Cory likes to have fun with his artwork and says, "I am always inspired by the Harry Potter universe and all of its rich, memorable characters that make it such a fascinating place to let your imagination run wild in. For this piece especially I love that for Hermione, there is one school of magic which she has not talent and no use for...Divination. The character of Trelawney and the complete disinterest of Hermione in her teachingsare what inspired me to create these designs."
