Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

Harry Potter - pencil drawing
his is a pencil sketch of Harry Potter, not really based on Dan Radcliffe. Harry's a little older in this one, maybe end of 6th year.

The squares are from the sketch pad I use. It doesn't scan well, unfortunately. There's a thingie on the lower right hand corner which will give the scanned image, larger and without the squares.

Harry Potter

Re: Harry Potter - pencil drawing
Thanks for the positive feedback!

It's funny you mention watercolor, forked_shadow, because I just bought a lot of watercolor pencils so I can experiment. Sounds like fun.

Thanks, Inkwolf. Harry is a nice guy when he's not leaping to the wrong conclusions *ahem*.

And, Golden_Snitch, maybe Ginny gave Harry a little Best Wizards Magical Hair Tamer & Gel, do you think?

I think it's really great! I like how you don't base your drawing on the actor. Well done!

Re: Harry Potter - pencil drawing
Great job, you can write AND draw. I must comment on the rushed style. I love it. You make it look like you just rushed through this and I really like that look. The only thing I do not really like to much is the hair . It is a bit too 2-D...Great drawing!
