Sometimes it feels like the world is split into two: people who love Harry Potter and people who fucking hate it.

Even if you are one of the incredibly strange people who hate it, you have to admit that the fact J.K. Rowling managed to imagine a whole world inside her head is pretty fucking impressive.

Although, what she imagined and what eventually was put on screen have to be wildly different... right?

Well, it turns out that they actually weren't far off judging by these sketches that Pottermore (the official fan site) has just released.

Here's Harry looking into the Mirror of Erised...

Peeves being told off by Professor McGonagall...

Snape leading a pissed off-looking Potions class...

Quidditch...

The Weasleys...

Harry at Privet Drive...

And Hagrid, Dumbledore and McGonagall saying goodbye to baby Harry...

Fair play to her, she is extremely talented and awesome and please send me an autograph.
