I Open at the Close

This. Took. FOREVER!
Holy cow, never again. I've never kept coming back to one piece so much and I'm thoroughly sick of looking at it. I guess I've been going at it bit by bit for a month or so... GAH!

Anyway! This is my entry for the HarryPotter-FanGroup contest, 'Beginnings and Endings.'

The idea is that Harry's been working up to the moment he opens that Snitch - the moment he is going through the Forbidden Forest to meet Voldemort and his death - since he first started Hogwarts. I used a reference from 'The Philosopher's Stone' for the younger Harry (he's holding Flammel's Stone in that picture) and a screenshot from the newest film for the older.

I hope my meaning gets across! Or at least my hard work >.<
