My Collection Of 20 Comics Exploring Crazy Ways To Take Down The Dark Lord

I started creating comics during quarantine. It was that crazy (and also kind of wholesome) time when everyone would go out on their balconies in the afternoon and sing songs or hold yoga sessions and things like that. I also wanted to do something with my spare time, but I sing like a screaming dog and have the flexibility of an 80s Barbie doll... BUT I've always enjoyed drawing and telling jokes since I was a little kid.

I followed webcomic accounts like "The Adventures of Business Cat," "Cyanide & Happiness," and "Strange Planet," and thought that I could learn how to draw my own comics on an iPad. And so, my journey began...

I periodically do HP movie marathons for inspiration (and for fun) and re-read the books from time to time. I do it with a notebook on my lap, and whenever something magical appears, I write it down. It might be a spell, a creature, a character—anything.

When I'm drawing, I pick something from my notes and think of a funny (and nearly always stupid) way to use it to defeat Voldemort. When you're not focused on being lore-accurate, it gets easier. Also, people send me DMs with their ideas, and that helps, too.

I became the father of a beautiful girl three years ago. My spare time was drastically reduced, and it was hard to be consistent with my posts, so I stopped drawing for quite some time. Now she is old enough to enjoy HP, and I've started drawing again.

I also sometimes get creative blocks. When that happens, it’s time for a movie marathon again (yay!). Every time I do one, I find new things.

I receive a lot of love on social media. People really like the series and send me their own ideas from all around the world: India, Germany, Russia, Spain, the US... It’s amazing.

Also, I grew up with Harry Potter, and creating these comics feels like I’m adding my silly but funny grain of sand to the wizarding world.
