Happy Flower and the Photosynthesiser's Stone

My entry to February’s Monthly Art Challenge, and also a parody of the “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” movie poster.
(Original movie poster:https://www.closeupshop.fr/media/oart_0/oart_h/oart_14361/thumbs/1023049_3407026.jpg)

Here are the flowers that I used to represent the characters:

Harry: Aster, Hermione: Cactus Dahlia, Ron: Gerbera, Hagrid: Peony, Dumbledor: Echinacea Purpurea “Meringue” (at first, I wanted to make him into an Iris, but it was complicated to give it a face) Griphook(?): no particular plant. I just saw him as a root-type creature because of his hair.

The idea was kindly offered to me by @Corentin. Even if I didn’t win, it was a great exercise, so thank you very much for that!


If someone is interested on the next Monthly Challenge (March 2025), here’s the link to it:

There was actually a plant motive in Harry Potter too. Harry’s family from mother’s side seemed to have flower-related names (Lily, Petunia) and his father was a Potter.

@KNap That’s some interesting info… it’s as if the story was made to have flower characters! :laughing:

You’re welcome! :hugs: I gave the general idea but you added so many details to it! You tackled the challenge masterfully, as I expected! :wink: I hope I gave you the taste to make more parodies, because you’re very good at it! :grin:

Yup, it was a lot of fun :grin: changing everything, but keeping it as close to the original as possible; as if the poster came from a parallel universe!

Oh I like it enough, it’s a decent story and attaching characters, but I wouldn’t say that I’m a big fan. I’m not a fan of their magic system, the need of a wand to cast spells is a bit ridiculous in my opinion, and also I prefer medieval settings in general…
But you know, you don’t need to be a fan to have parody ideas! It’s all a matter of word play! :wink:
