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.

This is inspired by the movie still from OotP, but I moved things and played around with the setting. You can click the resizer on the lower right hand corner to size up.

That's gorgeous. I can't draw people so I love to see them when they're done well. I love the texture in the bark as well it looks as if I could reach out and feel the roughness.

Great, I can't draw realistic people, so it's nice to see that! Good job

Beautiful drawing, Olwen! And that looks like such a cozy spot to be sitting in.

Re: Snape's Worst Memory - Film Version
Wow! It's really good. I especially like how you did the tree- it looks so realistic! And the castle in the backround looks really good.

The castle looks great! And so does the tree... and the people... and... everything, really.

Wow...this is really good. This isn't exactly how I imagined the scene, but it really brought it to life. And the bark on the tree is amazing!

Re: Snape's Worst Memory - Film Version
How come there's only three Maureders?
I like it, though. Snape sitting there innocently reading his book, unaware that he's just about to have the worst experience of his life...bulllies in the background...

Re: Snape's Worst Memory - Film Version
I left Peter out only for compositional reasons because odd groups are more interesting visually than even, but I could've put a little rat at the base of the tree now that you mention it. And maybe I will..
