I cut some corners myself with the magic of Photoshop.
I think it's harder to make a group of friends when you're all introverts than to make friends for anybody else. I always wonder how those groups work, since I guess I must have somehow missed out on being within them as I grew up.
I've seen the movies, (un)fortunately. I quite enjoyed the movies, so I guess this is my way of delving deeper into the world Rowling created, and it feels slightly richer so far. I guess I actually like watching movies then reading books, because it allows me to have a character template in my mind, and mix the two to my liking.
I'm feeling much better than I was thankfully. Hopefully just one of those 24 hour things so that I can go out tonight.... annnnd I'll PM you the sprites now :P
