I’ve enjoyed Harry Potter for a while, but one of the areas that interested me the most has always been the founding and construction of Hogwarts as both school and castle. I love the idea of seeing the wizarding world during its magical heyday.

I know that J.K. Rowling is a fan of T.H. White’s ‘The Once and Future King’, saying that Wart very much inspired Harry’s humble origin as a boy destined for greatness.

With that in mind, I like the idea of the Medieval era of Harry Potter mingling with Arthurian legend. Contrary to what is actually written in the books and their supplementary text, I always imagined Merlin setting the four founders on their path to codifying the practice and education of magic in Britannia. Apparently in Harry Potter canon Merlin was a student at Hogwarts who was sorted into and studied under Salazar Slytherin… fair enough.

So here is my take on Goderick Lleweryr (I am probably butchering that Welsh) who would later become known as Goddard le Griffin D'Or - and ultimately be remembered as Godric Gryffindor.

I may draw the remaining three founders and Merlin. I may not. This has been a nice diversion from my other projects (which I will post here some day I swear)
