Thats really awesome! She;s from St. Paul, Minnesota, and thats close to where I live! She even had an exhibit here of other artwork she had done, and made the official artwork for the State Fair a couple years back. As soon as I saw it, I KNEW it was her, because of the uncanny resemblances to Harry Potter!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-07 19:12:30

i believe she lives in Sarasota Florida now. Shes awesome, I mean can you imagine if anyone else did the artwork in HP? I cant.

great interview. Most fascinating part was her discussion of the tie-ins for the last and first covers--the curtain, and most esp, the position of Harrys arm and hand. I went back and looked at SS, his hand is almost exactly in the same position as on the DH cover. Wonderful to know they all took such care.

Great episode, but why was this post gone for a while then came back?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-03-08 12:02:00

Hmm. Ive been updating my Mugglecast feed all night and all this morning, but still no new episode in iTunes. Also, I cant find it on the downloads page. I hate to listen to it on air (because Im way behind and Im not ready for it yet) so Ive not tried to see if the on air player works for it yet. But all other avenues to get at #172 have failed me. :( Just letting you guys know.

Haha, I CANT WAIT FOR HOGSMEADE! Haha, JK really like writing on things, doesnt she? Hehe, that guy did not know how graffiti is made? Wow.
