Title: Volunteer by AnastasiaMantihora
Subject: Luna
Why: A lovely whimsical piece. Luna is trying to convince the Hogwart's owls to deliver a letter for her. It seems that the poor things have been scarred by her missions before! Luna is beautifully drawn here, elegantly slender with long flowing hair, yet not idealised - she's still very much Luna. And the owls have so much character, each communicating apprehension and displeasure in a different way.

Title: Helga Hufflepuff by lemonade8
Subject: Helga Hufflepuff
Why: lemonade8 is a longtime HP 3D artist, and - as far as I can tell - one of few. There's so much that I love about this piece. I love that she takes the yellow and black colours of Hufflepuff - a combination that I've never been fond of - and makes them really beautiful together. I love that the artist gave real thought to the character, as shown in the accompanying notes, and communicates a character rather than just a visual, which is less common for these historical characters about whom we don't know very much. From a technical standpoint, I love the lighting, too.

Title: This Isn't Love and I Know by neverlandforever
Subject: Bellatrix Lestrange/Voldemort
Why: These two, and the others in the series of related artworks, have a fascinating style to them. They are essentially cartoons, but this is no ordinary cartoon. There is amazing emotion and humanity in these very messy characters expressed in deceptively simple lines. Voldemort is simultaneously emotionally inaccessible and vulnerable, while Bella is both superficially submissive while also taking the lead to bridge the chasms between them. Really, you won't believe what this artist can do with a handful of lines and shades.

Title: Fred and Angelina's Wedding by leelastarsky
Subject: Fred Weasley/Angelina Johnson
Why: A beautiful celebratory scene. The artist intends it to be Fred and Angelina in a Fred!Lives world, but I love that you could also take it as George, with Ghost!Fred unleashing light and joy behind them. There's also amazing texture in the clothes and the whole scene.

Title: Tom and Minerva by leelastarsky
Subject: Tom Riddle/Minerva McGonagall
Why: Oh, I love this piece, from the classical border to the way Min really looks like a young Min. I love the way the characters have this clean-cut 1940s couple thing going, until you look closer and he's gripping her neck in a way that's quite controlling and sinister. I love the shadow of a snake sliding up her thigh and the symbolic suggestion that he's infiltrating her. A very clever, as well as visually beautiful piece of work.

Title: Azkaban by LadyMothwing
Subject: Azkaban, Dementors, Bellatrix
Why: This compelling piece is of Bellatrix in Azkaban, in shadow, looking out at the moon and the Dementors. There's something deliciously disturbing about these Dementors, particularly the way the one on the right just sits and watches her, still yet predatory. They're also exquisitely drawn.
