New Harry Potter Artwork
This article describes how new artwork has been chosen for a new illustrated series of Harry Potter books, coming 2015. I think the depiction of Harry is ok, but Hogwarts looks completely wrong imo. Anyway, here it is for you all to have a gander at.

Hogwarts looks just fine to me, but then I'm a great admirer of Kay's work anyway. His illustrations for A Monster Calls were quite extraordinary in my opinion.

Why doesn't Harry have any eyebrows?
And why are there trees under Hogwarts? |

Why do people expect others to visualise things in the exact same manner as they do themselves?

He's got eyebrows in that picture. They're not as dark as his hair though so maybe that's why people are overlooking them.

Why do people let Hollywood decide how fictional characters & settings should look? That's really what's great about books, everybody can have a different image-without arguing about which image is more 'correct'. (BTW, those trees look dead to me. No leaves = dead trees. Either that or it's a winter scene.)
