Today's guest artist simply goes by crisgud. To see of this tremendously talented guy, you can check out his facebook page or his deviantArt page.

I worry that we are raising a generation or twelve of really powerful, really stupid wizards and witches. I mean, with these wands and spells we're basically putting atom bombs in the hands of children, maybe they should learn, I don't know, what an atom is? Defense against the dark arts is clearly important. Clearly. But so is, you know, science and history.

It took me longer than most people to come around to Harry Potter. It's not that I hated it so much as I just didn't care. But come around I did and now that it's all over I'm totally on board a train that's no longer moving! Whoo hoo.

I really love the series and I really love that in an increasingly niche era, where everyone's everything is personalized and separated and avatared, we have a near-universal touchstone for the world-entire. Everyone knows Harry. Everyone loves Harry. And that's how it should be.

But teach the kids some damn geometry, would you please?
