If you'll allow me to stretch your imaginations somewhat, I have
discovered something interesting! In our kitchen, we have a copy of
Renoir's "Le Dejeuner des Canotiers" ( lunch of the boatmen--I think)
which is one of Renoir's most famous paintings. I kept looking at it
this weekend and noticed that several of the subjects could be right
out of Harry Potter.

The luncheon is a 5th year reunion of our heroes after Hogwarts. They
obviously decided to have a theme vacation and transported back in
time. Seated at the table on the right side are Hermione and Ron with
Harry leaning over them. Across the table with a small dog is Ginny
Weasley and George (or Fred) is leaning on the rail behind Ginny. Behind
Harry on the right side of the painting is Madame Rosemerta. Sirius
Black has his are around Rosemerta and Remus Lupin is talking to them. I
believe Neville is behind the pack talking to someone older than him. If
interested try to help figure out who the remaining characters are in
the painting. I can't figure out who the girl leaning on the rail near
George is. Any suggestions?
