The Room of hidden things
“… He was standing in a room the size of a large cathedral, whose high windows were sending shafts of light down upon what looked like a city with towering walls, built of what Harry knew must be objects hidden by generations of Hogwarts inhabitants. There were alleyways and roads bordered by tetering piles of broken and damaged furniture, stowed away, perhaps, to hide the evidence of mishandled magic, or else hidden by castle-proud house-elves. There were thousands and thousands of books, no doubt banned or graffitied or stolen. There were winged catapults and Fanged Frisbees, some still with enough life in them to hover halfheartedly over the mountains of other forbidden items; there were chipped bottles of congealed potions, hats, jewels, cloaks; there were what looked like dragon eggshells, corked bottles whose contents still shimmered evilly, several rusting swords, and a heavy, bloodstained axe.
Harry hurried forward into one of the many alleyways between all this hidden treasure. He turned right past an enormous stuffed troll, ran on a short way, took a left at the broken Vanishing Cabinet in which Montague had got lost the previous year, finally pausing beside a large cupboard that seemed to have had acid thrown at its blistered surface. He opened one of the cupboard’s creaking doors: It had already been used as a hiding place for something in a cage that had long since died; its skeleton had five legs. He stuffed the Half-Blood Princes book behind the cage and slammed the door. He paused for a moment, his heart thumping horribly, gazing around at all the clutter… . Would he be able to find this spot again amidst all this junk? Seizing the chipped bust of an ugly old warlock from on top of a nearby crate, he stood it on top of the cupboard where the book was now hidden, perched a dusty old wig and a tarnished tiara on the statues head to make it more distinctive…”

Late evening
I came up with this art idea while listening to ”Veridis Quo” by Daft Punk. The combo of pixel art, “Harry Potter” and “Discovery” album brings on nostalgia for the sweet early 2000s.
Drawn for the annual team challenge Fandom Kombat 2020, you can find other arts by our Harry Potter team here.
Crazy Magical games
“Harry Potter Magical games and sports” series
- The Irish game of Aingingein- each player would take the ball (a goat’s gallbladder) and fly through a series of burning barrels, each set high upon stilts, on a broomstick. The ball would then be thrown into the final barrel. The winner was the player who completed the task in the shortest time without catching on fire.
- Triwizard Tournament - alternative ending of the 2nd task.
- The Scottish game of Creaothceann- players were equipped with a broomstick and wore a cauldron strapped to their head. At the start of the game a hundred rocks and boulders that had been charmed to float a hundred feet above the ground began falling to the ground. The players then zoomed around the field, trying to catch as many rocks in their cauldrons as possible.
