Description
I've decided to upload this one with the typography on it instead of linking you to it and having just the image. This time its the turn of Harry Potter. I've always been super nervous about drawing Harry Potter as there is so much amazing artwork out there and i didn't really feel i could compete.....plus i've never drawn a Harry that i'm happy with. BUT i like this one!
Hope you do too
Done in watercolours
Harry Potter obviously belongs to J. K. Rowling
EDIT: I tried submitting this piece to an illustration group, and although i can understand some of their reasons for declining it, they said harry and ron looked undefined and drawn rather childishly. Does anyone else think so? I was rather happy with my Harry, for the first time ever really.

Regarding the criticism from the illo group: The boys' faces are certainly drawn very simply, the eyes in particular. But that's just a style. I'd call it "primitive" (in the artistic sense) rather than childish. Ron's eyes could use some work even if you keep the "primitive" style. They're different sizes and are looking in different directions.
As for the overall composition: I like the castle. Nicely abstract in the Scottish fog. The fuzzy gap between the two boys, however, seems to me a weakness. It looks like Hermione is supposed to be standing there. If you don't want to include her, I think the two figures should be somewhat larger and closer together, in order to lessen the gap. It's that foggy spot right in the center of of your composition that looks undefined to me, not Harry and Ron.
Final technical detail: "Philosopher's" needs an apostrophe.
Offered in the spirit of friendly helpfulness. You DID ask.

I did ask
I always get the apostrophe thing wrong
Thank you for your feedback, it will definitely give me food for thought when i next paint. I tried something i hadn't done before and it didn't work out properly, but I'll get there and i definitely appreciate your help
