My, what a lovely peaceful evening of scanning I had...

Page 7 - Hagrid shows off his zoological collection to Dr Maturin as requested by veronikamg, Romilda Vane for those who wanted her, and a drawing of Moaning Myrtle slightly modified from needtoflyaway's suggestion to have her looking 'freakishly' at the egg – here she is looking freaky at the egg.

Page 8 - bananabasket on his spinny cup, shadow_woods's big stuffed monkey (ape, here, actually), and the sketch of James being yelled at by Lily (or possibly his sister, or Hermione's mother ... what a bland face) originally suggested by morbidbunny and seconded by a number of other people.

Page 9 - Older Harry playing Quidditch for black_nightdress, Luna looking like a Ken Duncan character for linvalien, and someone's request for an Order of the Phoenix emblem to counter the Dark Mark ... Unfortunately it seems to be heavily based on that red dragon/phoenix thingy used in the insignia of the bad guys in Hellboy. Er.

Page 10 - The Luggage from The Last Continent for bellatella (for some reason I've always pictured it with Minnie Mouse feet in this scene), Nobby (whose design I'm still not happy with) on the 'Hogfather's' knee for naturalblue208, and Harry with a tattoo of a Hungarian Horntail on his chest. (Harry! Put some clothes on!)

Page 11 - I took some liberties with kaflower's request for Harry chasing Snape, and then there's Fenrir Greyback for linda_lupos, though really if you want to see Fenrir you should look at Makani's because hers is the definitive Mad Werewolf Man whereas mine is but a pale imitation. So pale as to be nearly albino.

Page 12 - Moist riding Boris the Mad Wonderhorse to Sto Lat for (appropriately enough) thefordmustang.

One more batch to go ... check back tomorrow, if all goes well.

Upon listening to the audio edition of The Penultimate Peril, I have come to a realisation:



The symbol for the Summoning Dark from Thud! is a perfect visual depiction of the course of the Series of Unfortunate Events. The story starts at Briny Beach, revolves episode after episode around a mysterious and foreboding eye insignia, comes full circle back to Briny Beach, then slips further on downhill.

Hmmmmmmmm.

I hope, when the series is over, they come out with a CD of all the songs they put on the audio books. It'd be nice to listen to them without being interrupted by 'Harper Audio presents...' and be able to hear the second verse of the crows song without having to check out the cassette.
