Suspension of Disbelief
My sister and I have been watching the version of Nicholas Nickleby that features both James Darcy and Lee Ingleby.
At one point they travel to Portsmouth to see if they could find work on a ship. I found this endlessly amusing.
I long ago concluded that Mr Ingleby would be the perfect Quirrell, and upon watching this mostly non-naval film I have decided that Mr Darcy would make an ideal Tom Riddle. Tall, pale, handsome, long fingers, country estate ...
On an entirely different subject – drawings!
Crowley's Special Delivery - This is mostly a rough draft... I'm not terribly happy with anything (Crowley's pose, Ligur and Hastur, the perspective on the tombstone, the colour of pencil I used, etc) but it's not too bad to put up for now. How far can someone lean back before they fall over? And what does their neck look like when doing so? This is something I need to find out before I redo it.
Harry and the Minister - I was so pleased with my earlier design for Mr Lion that I was disappointed when he had a small and two-dimensional role. What the heck, I drew him anyway. I hope he turns out to be faking this whole self-interested-politician thing. I mean, he's an Auror, right? And Aurors are cool, right?

Back to Nicholas Nickleby:
Should crazed Master & Commander fans even be allowed to watch this movie? They should do, like, a background check at the library or something. Offer you two mealworms and if you choose the smaller one, you don't get to check out the video. Or something.
All prior cast member associations aside, it was actually really good. Really. And I want it known that the casting was SO GOOD that I predicted the twist at the end! Hah!
