LOL I love Hagrid being so touch with Norbert over a dead ferret. I'm sure that says things about me (and maybe you, dear artist), but it's just too cute. He even put it a bow and all. XD

Love this! I can easily see Hagrid reacting this way when it comes to Norbert :D

[ely-baby.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! I love everything about this. Especially Hagrid's proud expression and Norbert's eyes. LOL. Great job!

[dracogotgame.livejournal.com]

LOL! It's so cute and gruesome! Just the kind of thing Hagrid would love! This is perfect!

[chibitoaster.livejournal.com]

THIS IS FANTASTIC!! (I hope that ferret isn't Draco)

I love the look on Hagrid's face, and the tear in his eye as he watches his baby open its first Christmas present. And Norbert is wonderful! You should draw dragons more often, "mystery artist."

Seriously, though, this is perfect!

[tryslora]

Oh my dear gods, that is so adorable.

(I can't believe I said adorable to a dead ferret)

BUT Norbert's expression, and Hagrid... it's just absolutely brilliant.

HAHAHA!!

First of all, 'Mystery Artist', you always draw such gorgeous creatures - even the dead (weasel?) is cute all wrapped in his Christmas bow.

LOL And Hagrid's pride is so sweet and genuine - it's wonderful and dare I say it, perfectly you. Merry Christmas, darling - you've done amazingly good things with the holiday season - long may it continue!

I love this Hagrid - perfect - exactly as I see him. The whole tableau is excellent. Love Norbert's gift, love the perspective of the entire piece. What a great idea, and a very unexpected "baby's first Christmas." lol

[kellychambliss.livejournal.com]

This is fabulous. The perspective is great, and it's just the right mix of "nature red in tooth and claw" with "parental" sweetness. The color is placed in just the right spots. Love all the little Norbert details of spikes and eyebrows and tail.

Haha, that pic is fantastic. I love everything: the perspective, Hagrid's tear and beard, Norbert's agitation over his present, his tail, the ferret or weasel or mink (some kind of marten, right? Edit: I should just read the tags) with the wonderful red ribbon. The ribbon makes it so cute (even if it's a dead animal ;P).

Thank you, MA! *giggles a bit more*

Awhh... I love this!! So many feels :')

[mahmfic.livejournal.com]

Omg I love the touch that the toy is a ferret. Amazing job!

[shadowycat.livejournal.com]

I adore the fond expression on Hagrid's face, and your Norbert is so cute! Great job! :D

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

*titters* That is so cute! Well, except for the poor ferret, but I choose to believe it was a marauding, chicken-killing, mean and rotten ferret.

*nods*

[kittylefish.livejournal.com]

oh, this is supersweet! <3

[melodyssister]

Too cute!

[gracerene]

OMG, this is so great! That expression on Hagrid's face is perfection, as is that terrifyingly gleeful look on Norbert's!

[iwao.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA! Awww, this is priceless! LOLOL!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_hannelore/]

Awww, Hagrid really is the best parent.

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

Well done, Mystery Artist! I love Hagrid's look of love the very best.

[delphipsmith]

"Ooh look, he knows his mummy!" Or should that be "nummy" ? A funny, sweet and charming piece, with lots of love :)

[lokifan]

Haha, this is hilarious! OMG, the bow on the dead ferret!

[smallbrownfrog.livejournal.com]

The look on Norbert's face! It's exactly the expression the little menace darling should have. God, I love everything about this.

[amorette.livejournal.com]

Omg Hagrid. Omg Norbert. Omg dead ferret xD *cries like Hagrid because this is ADORABLE* I just love this so much. You should draw Hagrid forever and ever.

Baby's First Christmas

[koshweasley.livejournal.com]

Oh, I just love this. Your fine tints of color is a wonderful compliment, Norbert looks awesome as does Hagrid.

And the ferret has his tongue sticking out - LOL

Bravo!

[divertazsc.livejournal.com]

How can you make a scene with a dead ferret soo cute?

[therealsnape.livejournal.com]

I happened upon this entirely by accident, and what a lovely surprise! Hagrid and Norbert are both adorable. And the Christmas tree in the background and the bow on the little animal are just so.

Norbert's very special kind of cuteness (eye of the beholder, eh?) just comes across so beautifully.

[delphipsmith]

BTW, that's not Draco in ferret form is it lol?!
