I am proud to post our very first piece for the blog!

Its a wonderfully creative illustration of a Hungarian Horntail Hatchling by artist Adrian Brierley (aka ADi). 

The Hungarian Horntail dragon played a pivotal role back in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Harry's first task in the Triwizard Tournament.  It is said that the Hungarian Horntail (native to Hungary) is one of the most vicious and dangerous breeds of dragons.  So naturally, out of the 4 dragons Harry was able to choose from, among them the Chinese Fireball, the Common Welsh Green, and the Swedish Short Snout, Harry picked the one with the worst temperament.  

They should have awarded him the darn Triwizard Championship cup right then!  Maybe the oh-so-dreamy Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson) could've been spared and appeared in a few more sequels. 

 

Thank you ADi for this awesome piece!

Hagrid reveals to Harry what his first task would be and Harry struggles to find a way to overcome it.
