The First Yearby *Ellygator

Entry for

and her Harry Potter Fanart Contest [link]

After my last rather depressing HP drawing from DH, I wanted to do something fun and lighthearted again - so here are the Malfoys getting Draco to school during the first year.

Lucius seems rather impatient with this chore: after all there are deals to be made, ministers to be bribed and intrigues to be organized - can't hang around in an enchanted muggle railway station forever.

Narcissa looks supremely pleased with herself now that she's bullied, nagged or flattered Lucius into sending his son to Hogwarts instead of Durmstrang; and Draco looks faintly apprehensive. After all, before the day is out he better be sorted into Slytherin, or there'll be problems at home.

And Dobby looks worried - well, because I am sure Dobby always looked worried while serving the Malfoys.

Had great fun with the elaborate costumes, the steam-train and the railway station.

Magnificent! I really like your version of Narcissa.

Thanks so much! This was so much fun to imagine and draw...

It shows! You have some great skills!

Lucius definitely looks impatient to be standing around on the platform. Yes, it's important;
big day for Draco, first day at Hogwarts and all, but really- things to do, Fudge's strings to pull,
other puppets to make dance. These people won't bribe themselves!

The level of detail in the scene, the intricacy of the background really completes the overall image.
Just gorgeous!

Thanks so much. I had a lot of fun with this one. Working with the train in the background and the Victorian costumes just had such a cool steampunk vibe when I was drawing it.

Now that I look for it, yes, the Steampunk vibe is very strong.
I didn't notice it before, because I wasn't looking for it; it
was just a great HP scene. Older styled clothing and a steam
engine in the background. But I can definitely imagine how much
fun it would have been to draw this; with Lucius standing there
with his pocket-watch in hand, wondering how much longer he had
to remain.

Exquisite. And I love Narcissa's corset.

*Ellygator Apr 30, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you. I had so much fun drawing this one, it was like HP meets steampunk...
