I was wondering why more wizards don't create
portraits of themselves. Why don't Sirius (and Lily
and James) have portraits so  that they can be with
Harry? If Phineas Nigellus and Sirius's mum  can still
interact with others after death, why can't Sirius do
the  same?

Vinnia:
You know, I was thinking about this the other day. I
also wonder why each person can only have one portrait
image. I mean, with Phineas (and Dylis Derwent), they
have 2 frames, but only one image, going back and
forth.

Is it possible that wizarding portraits are not
painted by artist? I mean, those images are actually
the wizards themselves in another dimension? So, when
they think that their mission in this world is
finished, they just jump into the frame, and with some
enchantment live as a portrait.

So, there wouldn't be any portrait of
Sirius/James/Lily, because they died before they
jumped into their frames.

Any thought?
