Yes, I am very aware of the copyright laws-know it would be 
impossible to arrange such a thing with Warner's-but I can't see too 
much difference between fanfiction and fanart and making patterns 
available on-line to HP4GU list friends.  I've been making myself 
crazy over some of the Harry Potter commercial art and how mediocre 
some of it is.  I've an art degree with a specialty in drawing and 
painting the human figure; and I'm kicking myself because I wasn't in 
the right place and time to contribute my character versions to 
anything: the trading cards, toys, etc..., or cross-stitch patterns.  
Anyway, all is moot until I get these mythical cross-stitch patterns 
created and scan them, isn't it?  Til then...
