The DH covers have me excited.
The OotP movie stills have me excited.
The fact that alchemy is on the UK children's cover has me really excited. After all, which ship in fandom has been most prolific with intelligent, fascinating, enlightening, and, best of all, evidence-filled essays on literary alchemyTo be honest, I never cared for alchemy

I love the way you add to the characterization of everyone by their clothing. While I may never see Harry and Hermione quite the way you do, you have their distinct personalities captured. I especially love your Lupin, and Tonk's clothes in general.
My only quibble is that Ginny looks freakishly skinny- she's as wide as Tonk's sleeve.

I've never seen Luna drawn with bangs and her hair pulled back, and I didn't pay enough attention to the quote, so I just assumed... I feel quite the fool.
Though I still think she looks insanely skinny.

Where was Ginny in this picture? The way I read it, she should be standing next to Harry, possibly still holding his hand from when she led him up to the hospital wing.

Actually, Ginny didn't disappear. She's mentioned and/or talks quite at bit through that entire scene.
On page 622 (in the US edition) it says, "As Professor McGonagall nodded, Harry felt Ginny move beside him..." Since it's never mentioned in canon that Harry let go of Ginny's hand after she pulled him up and away from Dumbledore's body, it's likely they were holding hands all the way to the hospital wing, and she stood beside him through the entire scene. He wouldn't have had to let go of her hand when Hermione hugged him; it doesn't say he hugged her back.
Naturally, you don't have to draw Ginny if you don't want to. From the "camera angle" of your drawing, she could be standing behind Harry, out of frame.
I hope you don't mind me coming here to discuss this. I'm trying to be polite. I really do like your artwork.

If I come off as somewhat abrasive, that's because I have no interest in hiding the fact that I thought H/G was nauseous garbage, and I think Rowling wrote it this way intentionally.
As for your argument that Harry and Jenny were holding hands the entire time...
Rowling doesn't mention Hermione letting go of Harry either, so can we also assume, by your logic, that Hermione was hugging Harry the entire time?
:P

I think, yes, Hermione might have held on to him for a few minutes, but not the entire time. I think it's on the next page (about three quarters of the way down), Hermione covers her mouth with both her hands. She would have to let go of Harry to do this.
So I think Hermione gave Harry a good strong hug, but let go after a few minutes.
