Description (2007) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil on Paper. Processed and framed in Photoshop.

For the Disk courts I haven't stuck with a family, but instead picked characters that I feel have a strong Earth element connection in the books. They are either good with plants and animals or have a tendency to keep the folks around them grounded in reality when they take off on - particularly Gryffindor - flights of fancy...

So of course who else could be the King of Disks but Hagrid taking care of his beloved dragon baby, Norbert. I decided to have him hold the egg as a substitute for the traditional disk and put him into the homely and earthy environment of his hut ("You call this a - house?" - Lucius Malfoy in COS) known for the hazards of slobbering Fang, rock cakes and sudden tea spills...

The King of Disks is defined as a no-nonsense person, a realist who knows his strengths and weaknesses, he is not mislead by wishes and dreams and is absolutely trustworthy. However, sometimes he's a tad inflexible and heavy-handed. Tact and polite niceties are not his forte. He gives it to you straight - together with the shirt off his back should you need it.

Thank you! I'm glad you like him as the King of Disks. I thought he was great as Norbert's "dad"!

I have to admit, I found one of your tarot cards, had to find them all and then ended up putting them all into my favourites. I am absolutely astounded at your ability to integrate scenes and characters from Harry Potter into the tarot deck. (And amazed you pulled it off.) I must know if you are ever going to get these published (they're obviously good enough) because I would definitely buy some!

Thank you so much! I think an officially printed deck seems more and more unlikely. However, if you wanted to get a personally printed one (the quality is the same as my printer uses heavy glossy cardstock), I'd be happy to have one made for you. Just note me please

I wanted to go through all the cards before I commented. I love this so much. I especially enjoyed the history and meaning of the cards. I have always admired those who read tarot cards. It takes a lot of practice and memorization. I never had the paticence. Also, I love HP so this is twice as enjoyable for me. Thank you so much for showing and sharing these with us.

I bet so. It was such a large project. I'm sure it's kind of bitter sweet for you. Keep up the great work!

This is great... I liked Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid... I remember watching him in episodes of Black adder and the young ones when I was younger...

Sorry I've been neglecting you....I'm just about caught up with my in-box.. Still got a few more deviations to look at.

Thank you! I agree, it was a great actor-choice for Hagrid. And I am with you on the messages. Still got several hundreds of pieces on my watchlist. And the fact that DA still does so many time-outs on me after I've been on for like 30 minutes doesn't help...

I like that idea, but unfortunately at a very early date I had him firmly fixed as the Hierophant for the Majors. He should be coming up, soon. Let me know what you think of him there...
