I love how at first glance it looks like the classic card, but there are all these little touches, like the broom, and the snitch, and his jeans and sneakers. Nicely done!

Thanks, I had planned to try and "age" the card a bit, but I couldn't get any of the filters to work like I wanted. So I went with the basics.

Your story is on a tab to be read (when I have some time).

No worries on slowness on reading; I've only read about half of the stories so far, and haven't managed to comment on nearly enough of those. *sighs* I really wanted to keep up better! And I know I went longer than I intended. I'd originally planned to write a 2-3k story and had to talk it down from ballooning into a 10k piece. So I should be relieved it only ended up 5k!

Aw, I like it! Making his dog Sirius is a cute touch, along with the snitch in his hand! =)

Thanks!

I just love it. So evocative of the old circus-poster look of the Rider Waite but so fittingly adapted! Oh and it hadn't even occurred to me when I first saw it that the dog is Sirius! Of course! :-)

Yeah, I thought it might be a bit too obscure for people to pick up on it, since it's just a black dog. Thanks!

Very nice card, very classic. And Sirius in his dog form is such a good idea! :D

Thanks!

That is delightful! I;d never even thought of adapting the classic Rider-Waite images, bit now I would love to see similar interpretations of some of the other cards.

Sirius as the dog is inspired. And Harry is very much 'The Fool'.

Yeah, if I do another card in another round I will probably try and keep with that plan. Maybe I can get ambitious and do them all... thanks!
