The slope of his chest plus the way his head turns makes him seem like he's wearing his robes backwards...

Also, link is typo and card not up on site yet?

I didn't plan the robe (or the entire wardrobe for that matter) very well. In fact it took me till after finishing the card to go back and check in the book that they would be wearing normal clothes instead of the entire school uniform, it having been final exam day but them having had time to change. I don't get what you mean by "backwards" though...

Damn, I always get that wrong. Should've just named the folders "majors" to begin with. XP There should be no reason you're not seeing the card though...

It looks like his body is actually facing away, toward the moon. I think maybe his head is turned a little too far around.

I see the card now. Did not reload and apparently had an old version of the page cached.

Mmmmmnope, can't see it. Wouldn't his head be turned even further around if he were facing the background?

Seconded - to me, it looks like he's stretching out with his right arm with his head turned right a bit under 90 degrees. Either that or he's stretching out his left arm and looking to his left over his shoulder at the pratonus, which seems wrong. The first one (looking right) seems more natural with that positioning.

I think for him to be looking to his left, his body would have to be rotated anti-clockwise so his head doesn't seem to be twisted round as much.

I DON'T GET IT, YOU PEOPLE. Are you telling me it looks more natural for him to be doing A over B?

I have to agree with everyone else here... although I think it's neck shadow issue than anything else. The head is facing nearly 90 degrees from the body, and since neither the head nor the body is tilted or turning in any way, all of the "twist" is compressed into the neck, and yet the neck looks straight. I think the slope of Harry's right shoulder almost makes it seem like the body is turned even further in the other direction.
