Did anyone else get here from going to the PotterMore video and then looking up all the "links"? It's a picture of links, but not real links (go there, you'll see what I mean), and I think each link could be significant.

lol some of those kids are like 8 years old! I was 17 when I read Deathly Hallows. Could they really appreciate how incredible it was??

@Balian49 That's the beauty of it, they can read it again and again and appreciate it more as they age :)

To end this video segment Jo Rowling says; "I've done my Harry Potter". From what I have said you will either believe Rowling created the Harry Potter story and that I am a raving idiot or you may wonder if there is any truth in what I have said here. She created books with words. As you read the books your mind transforms the text messages into images you perceive as scenes. Knowledge develops into a story you love or hate. I designed the story in my mind and drew the imagery to show it to you!

@gumusluk05 I didn't want to be reminded of the child I had known years earlier and I told my girl character I would rename her. Luck was with me at that time as I named the girl by modifying the business name on my van (HERMANN'S REFRIGERATION) to derive the name Hermione. I owned my van, the girl character, she was my girl, so the name Hermione was formed. The drawing continued until it showed the key components that you now know as the Quidditch scene with the Snitch. That info. is all true!

@gumusluk05 The addition of the brooms transformed my story into a story about wizards and witch's and that suited me as one of my interests was electronics and there was a lot of wizardry in the things I designed as inventions, so I felt I was a wizard boy in my story and the brooms hovering gave the appearance that my characters could fly about the drawing page. The drawing developed into the Quidditch scene. I was not employed, so I was expecting my story to reward me with a quid!

@gumusluk05 As I drew the girl I talked to her as 'Joanne', a girl I had known in the early 1980's, aged nine, so one can see how old my characters in the story were as I drew the artwork for the perceived film. A boy is said to mature a year or two later than a girl so the boy character was older, ten to eleven years old, therefore the main character, a boy, had to be older than the girl I drew. As I looked over my artwork I envisioned myself as the boy and I saw the girl as my friend.

@gumusluk05 It was very well into the night, about 1:30 am, as I was nearing the completion of the boy. I had been drawing most of the day and evening and I was very tired but I wanted to finish the characters as I had been building the stories construction for many years, since 1978 and after leaving the Army in 1987. I had been designing and drawing many inventions while unemployed. It was tedious and tiresome but drawing key scenes for my stories was a joy and a headache-tension relief.

@gumusluk05 I formed the focal-lines in front of the arms and legs into a broom handle which included my initials 'stylized' as letters G and S, as I had done with many of my drawings! The result was a girl witch on a witches broom. She needed a mate, so I considered I would be her mate and drew a boy to her right and likewise formed the focal lines into a witches broom. I then drew my face onto the boy character, via what I saw in my grand dads old shaving mirror which I held in my right hand.

@gumusluk05 One fine day I drew the drawing of a girl. Out of sheer frustration I made some scribble lines that nearly destroyed hours of drawing effort to draw a girl in proportion. I used a image torn from a TV guise as a model to help me draw the main torso of a girl. The remainder was of my imagination and desire to have a girl in a position sitting on a fence with legs naturally placed. As I erased the scribble lines the remaining darker areas of the lines formed a brush broom.

@gumusluk05 From the beginning of the film of Harry Potter to the last frame, of the story content, it was based on my story-boarded story and the artwork I had created for use in the film production! Consider the flow of publications one after the other relatively quickly, then the films likewise appearing quickly in succession. There was a reason for that to have happened. It was because I drew often and my many drawings filled files. artifacts.yolasite.com has information on the true origin.
