Ginny Weasley

A redraw of an old favourite. When I started my blog, I drew Ginny, and she is still one of my favourites. There's just so much character to work with when it comes to Ginny. She's a real bad-ass; confident, fun, brave and opinionated. If there's one thing the new HBO series should change from the films, it's giving this girl the gusto she deserves ⭐️

I had a lot of fun exploring some new outfit ideas for Ginny. She's got that cool 90's/early 00's thrifty style, and she makes a lot of her own clothes. As someone who grew up without ever getting anything new, she would learn to be crafty from a young age. Remaking her brothers' old clothes to fit her better, or to make something new out of them entirely.

And if there's one thing I loved reading about her, it's that she would play Quidditch without her brothers, nicking their brooms from the shed in the garden to practice without them teasing her about it. In the end, she became the only Weasley to go pro after Hogwarts. That's playing the long game, and I respect that :)

Let's be honest: Ginny Weasley is way too cool for Harry Potter, and we all know it.

The old version I did two years ago: Still a really good one, I love it! I like to think of this one as her 13-year old self, as opposed to the 16-year old I drew this time.

🍃Neville Longbottom 🌿

Another super fun redraw🥰✏️ I love this guy so much, and he’s such a great character! The thing I love most is his character arc, where he really becomes his own person, and follows his passions. I like to imagine he went out and became an accomplished Herbologist, researching many kinds of unknown species of plants, and writing books about them, then returned to Hogwarts to teach later, when he grew tired of the travelling. And all those students at Hogwarts would ask him questions about his travels, and his adventures with Harry Potter, and “Is it true you killed You Know Who’s snake with a sword??” to which he would look them dead in the eyes and say; “that son of a bitch had it coming.” Imagine the looks on their 11-year-old faces to see the teacher who sings lullabies to the plants curse Voldemort in dead seriousness. Brilliant, just brilliant⭐️

So, yeah, give it up for Neville 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Old version, which I still love. He’s such a cute lil’ bean🥰

Hopping on the bandwagon with the @toorumlk DTIYS challenge 🥹✨

📙Percy Weasley📕

Talk about pompous swots, the studious, rule-following, over-achieving type 👓That’s Percy. He will tell the teacher they forgot to assign homework, he will rat you out if you’re breaking rules and then not regret it, because it was the right thing to do. He will also stand up to a bully, protect a younger student. Maybe because the raucous was distracting him from his reading, but does that really matter? He takes action, but mostly because he finds a reason to care 🧐

I think Percy is a great character, he’s well-written. It’s also realistic that he had trouble with his family, from whom he is so different. Percy is the black sheep of the Weasley family. He was bullied by his brothers. Granted, they never meant to truly harm him, but being on the receiving end of pranks and jokes does tire eventually.

I think Percy is very strong. And I think he had a great character arc :) 🌈

✨Madame Maxime✨

Continuing the character line-ups with a BIG one (pun intended)🤗 Madam Maxime is a fierce woman, a force to be reckoned with. In the books, she is describes as a very beautiful woman, with black hair and a beak-like nose. She dresses in fine velvet and satin robes and wears big jewels. This, I thought, deserved to be handled with the respect Madame Maxime commands. She is beauty and she’s grace. She WILL punch you in the face, if you don’t look out.

What a character, this was great to draw!✨

🧶Molly Weasley🧶

The Wizarding World’s mum ✨

She raised seven children, not to mention six of them were boys (good lord)! I have the utmost respect for this woman, keeping it together all those years. Going through two wars, trying to keep her family safe from harm.

She can be a little overbearing… a little overprotective… but she’s still a good mum, I think. I love her. I love that she knits and I can even love her for swooning over Gilderoy Lockheart, until she found out he was a total fuckup. I mean, we’ve all fawned over fictional characters✨😌 (and the occasional Pedro Pascal edit)

🐉Charlie Weasley🐉

I have been meaning to draw Charlie for so long. I love his character. Even though, we don’t know much about him, because he was dreadfully underrepresented in the films and frankly the books as well, I am drawn to him. The whole ‘off in Romania to study dragons’ idea is so fantastical. I like it a lot.

And for a character who decided to pursue his passion, I wanted to draw him as being somewhat messy. He clearly is a person most at home outside, doing what he loves most. He is little concerned with homemaking or societal pressure. It’s clear he is his own person and that’s what I tried hard to portray.
