Fan art comes in many forms. Some artists like to illustrate only scenes from the books (canon), and some artists like to portray favorite theories or ships (fanon). Which do you prefer?

Here are a few examples of canon art from our Fan Art Gallery!

And here are examples of fanon art!

Thanks to the Butcher of Hogsmeade (Hagiographer13) for the montages!

I love both canon and fanon art. There's some fanon art I don't like but overall I like all of it mostly.
