HP Portrait Series-McGonagall

Harry Potter Portrait Series-Professor McGonagall

I decided to start drawing her a bit younger because that's how I've always pictured her when I read the books. It wasn't until the movie came out did I realize she was supposed to be older. I remember JKR describing her hair as being black and not gray...I think that's what did it. Because you'd think a woman in her 70's would have gray hair, ya know? She did describe the spectacles though so I was thinking she was like in her 40's maybe? O.o I dunno....that's just me anyway. But Maggie Smith is awesome in the movies though!!

I also drew her kinda sassy lookin' because everyone always draws her looking so stern and I just thought I'd do something different. I mean you know in her head she realizes what an awesome witch she is.

Yes, and marvel at her exceedinly extravagant outfit! lol, I suck at clothes. These poor female characters will suffer dearly.
