The Washington DC area gallery has been representing Harry Potter art released through Warner Brothers since 2000, and this is the first official image to be released with such a small edition size. One of the images from the Edition was on hand for the Harry Potter fandom panel at San Diego Comic con, and was received with aupplause and appreciation for Mary GrandPre, an artist with whom Harry Potter fans are well acquainted.

The gallery is also displaying and offering for sale original art used in the making of the style guide for the first film “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” in 2001 by movie production artist Tommy Lee Edwards, creator of the recent smash hit graphic novel “Turf”, with co-writer Jonathan Ross..
