Harry Potter...sort of....

Much like most of the nerd community and others we went to go see the last Harry Potter movie recently.  I have enjoyed the books and the movies were a pleasant glimpse into those worlds.  One of the things that I like about the books is the wealth of secondary and tertiary characters that drift in and out of the stories.  The Weasleys seem to generate a lot of these type of individuals and the brother of Bill Weasley intrigued me.  He plays an important role in the books of interacting with Harry at various times and provides an interesting counterpoint to the rest of the Weasleys in that he is portrayed as "cool" someone who makes his own way in the world and ends up with the prettiest girl in the whole series based on the descriptions.  Anyway, rather than illustrating something that is seen in the books or movies I thought it might be fun to draw him, and draw him while he was working in his job that is first described in the books, as a curse breaker for Gringotts.
