Harry Potter Lexicon

We're having some problems with the search on the Lexicon. Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll keep wrestling with it. #PotterArt by Cambium

Artwork which is just an exact copy of a scene or actor from a Potter film is OK but I personally prefer artwork which shows how an artist imagines a character or scene. I don't want to see Dan, Emma, and Rupert, I want to see Harry, Hermione, and Ron! #PotterArt by Marta T.

We're aware that the Lexicon website is down. Should be back up soon. Sorry about that!

The statue guarding the entrance to the Head's office isn't a griffin, it's a gargoyle. "... the gargoyle sprang suddenly to life and hopped aside as the wall behind him split in two" (CS11). hp-lexicon.org/place/hogwart… #PotterArt by Nicopony

The entrance to the Head's office at Hogwarts moves around. In CS11 it's on the 5th floor, in GF28 the 2nd. And in HBP on the 7th. hp-lexicon.org/place/hogwart… #HogwartsCastle #PotterArt by Deeterhi

Happy Birthday Quirinus Quirrel! One of the most tragic characters in canon "I saw [him] as a gifted but delicate boy, who would probably have been teased for his timidity and nerves during his school life" (JKR) hp-lexicon.org/character/qui… #PotterBirthday #PotterArt by Edgar Torné

Before dawn, Little Hangleton ... The Riddle House ... There is light in an upstairs window of the old abandoned house. Frank Bryce, the caretaker, sees the light from the kitchen of his cottage nearby. He goes to investigate. #PotterArt by Sebastian Thelig
