Harry potter

Harry potter is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harry potter was a boy that grew up with Dursley family , they where very ordinary people ( or as wizards called them" Muggles") harry was not a very ordinary person at all in fact he was a wizard!
the Dursleys treated him very badly because they hated magic. but when a giant called Hagrid came to were harry lived and told him that he was a wizard and that his parents were to very poweful wizards and had died fighting Voldermot the most evilest dark wizard alive (although he was barley alive . harry had defended himself some way when he was a baby and it had made voldermort lose most of his power ) , harry and Hagrid went to Hogwarts school and harry went to the Gryffindor house and made friends with a redhead named Ron Wealsy and a Muggle called Hermione . the bully at hogwarts school was Draco Malfoy .Snape was a teacher that did not like Harry at all. When Harry, Ron and Hermione accidentally fell upon a corridor way where there was a three headed dog guarding a trap door , they ran out of the room before it could eat them . the next day they found out that the dog was guarding the sorcerers stone. a magical stone that would keep someone alive with the fountain of youth . harry and his friends thought that snape was in league with the dark lord (voldermort ) and that he was trying to get the the stone to make voldermort  alive again so he could kill harry . but when they got past the three headed dog and loads of magic to guard the stone instead of finding snape they found .....  Professor Quirrell! ( he was a stuttering teacher  at hogwarts ) but he was with Voldemort and was going to get the stone but it fell in Harry's pocket and Quirrell tried to take it from harry and then harry became unconscious.  but right then Albus Dumbledore (the head master of the school and the only one not afraid of Voldemort ) came bursting into the room and stopped Quirrell . the end of the first book
i read 6 of the of the books so far and i really like them i would tell you about the rest of the books 2,3,4,5, 6 but i want to read seventh one now :)

Tintin drawings and Tintin toys


i like Tintin a lot i have read some of the comics and watched the movie. Tintin inspired me to draw
Tintin and make Tintin toys . here they are :





king Ottokar's scepter . the real book cover doesn't have the scepter in Tintin's hand. because the book is about the bad-guys stealing the scepter and not Tintin stealing it out of the palace !!
Thomson and Thompson . i made them as one piece although they are two different people they tend to stand next to each other !
Captain Haddock made out of water bottle(his body) ,a foam ball (for his head ),two penny holders (for his arms)and some construction paper ( for his hat )
