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.

Hogwarts painting
This is a painting I did of Hogwarts for a school project - draw a landcape. So I chose Hogwarts castle 'cuz it's just so pretty . Anywho I did this painting using black ink and water colour pencils/paints. Hope you all like it.

Re: Hogwarts painting
Why thank you...lol my art teacher didn't think it was so great though, I only got 74% on it - she said it was too dark, but I couldn't help it because when I added the watercolour paints the ink ran.

Re: Hogwarts painting
Wow. That's incredible. Watercolor is a difficult medium to work with (for me, anyway), but you pull it off. Excellent.

Re: Hogwarts painting
That's beautiful. It kind of makes me sad, though (I don't know why, but really amazing art always makes me sad.) But anyway, wow, I could stare at it forever. I love the colour and contrast. Also, what did you use as reference? The movies? Because I always like that picture of Hogwarts.

I found a screenshot of the castle from the movie online after searching for hours and hours.

Re: Hogwarts painting
You said (over at HPN, I think) that you're a tattoo artist, too! There's a thread on HP tattoos here, maybe sometime you could post any HP tattoos you happen to give or get.

That is my plan. As soon as I come across a person who wants an HP one, I'll post it.

Re: Hogwarts painting
That's fabulous! You're very talented. I wish I could draw/paint/do anything artistic like that. Seeing as how my mom's an art teacher you'd think I would have caught the bug...but no *sigh*.

Art teachers don't knwo anything, I have come across some shockers in my life. I think you've done a great job, keep it up!
By the way 74% is nothing to snezze at.

Re: Hogwarts painting
Beautiful painting! I love the shadowy lighting, and the textured, aged look of the castle.
And yeah, 74% isn't bad at all...
