Sophia Canning posted an illustration of Hermione as a woman of color, which took her about three or four hours to draw.
Notice how Hermione's wearing a SPEW badge — that's Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, for those unfamiliar.
Illustrators and Harry Potter fans alike were amazed by Canning's beautiful piece.
Fellow illustrator Sara Rhys said the piece clearly "took a ton of skill" and didn't look like it had been drawn quickly.
This is beautiful, it obviously took a ton of skill, but I can't imagine it was quick. It's ok to admit to dedicating time and effort on creating something, admirable even!
One fan wrote that it was the "most beautiful and realistic Hermione" they'd ever seen.
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND REALISTIC HERMIONE I HAVE EVER SEEN PROPS TO YOU FOR ADDING THE SPEW BADGE ASSGJHGKHYFDS
Another fan said it was "hands down" the best Hermione fan art they'd ever seen.
Some asked about Canning's technique. She explained that the whole thing had been drawn in Photoshop.
"Take a bow," one fan wrote.
Some people took issue with the fact that Canning drew Hermione as a woman of colour. She had something to say in response:
"Shut the fuck up dumbasses," wrote Canning.
Let's all just remind ourselves what J.K. Rowling had to say when it was announced Noma Dumezweni had been cast as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermionetwitter.com/mauvedust/stat…
Beautiful!
