Throwback Thursday: Harry Potter Style

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches!

Occasionally, we will revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before Fandom In Stitches existed!

Today we share not just one pattern, but over 52! Many years ago, as part of an alphabetical block of the week, I created and shared the Harry Potter Title Font (U.S. & Movies) Alphabet. In addition to the alphabet, you can also find a small collection of punctuation on the Harry Potter page.

Use these 5" blocks to mix and match to make your own phrases, names, initials, etc! The Throwback Thursday banner was created doing just that!

Like all patterns shared during Throwback Thursday, this pattern was originally shared on Harry Potter Paper Piecing, a Livejournal community, and the predecessor to Fandom in Stitches.

Throwback Thursday: Harry Potter Style

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches!

Occasionally, we will revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before Fandom In Stitches existed!

Today's pattern, Hagrid's Hut, is one of my earliest designs, both as a designer and for my then-growing collection of Harry Potter patterns. This is my version of the little wooden hut as described by J.K. Rowling and interpreted by by Warner Brothers.

Hagrid's Hut

Updated Version (2014) & Original Design (approx. 2005)

by Jennifer Ofenstein

5" paper pieced

At five to three they left the castle and made their way across the grounds. Hagrid lived in a small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest. A crossbow and a pair of galoshes were outside the front door.

Philosopher's Stone, British children's paperback ed., pg. 104

Hagrid's Hut appeared in my first Harry Potter quilt, the project that started all this fandom quilting madness! My Magical Lens, 2005 - 2007

Throwback Thursday: Harry Potter Style

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches! Each week, we revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before FiS was A Thing!

Today's pattern was originally inspired by chapter art of Mad Eye Moody from the American edition of Goblet of Fire created by Mary GrandPré. Mad Eye remains one of my favorite characters and he is rendered here in a simple but effective design. Looking at him now, I think a few embroidered lines would add to the cragginess of his face!

Paper Pieced Mad Eye Moody, updated 2014

Mad Eye Moody
Updated Version, 2007 Version

by Jennifer Ofenstein

5" paper pieced

The lightning had thrown the man's face into sharp relief, and it was a face unlike Harry had ever seen. It looked as though it had been carved out of weathered wood by someone who had only the vaguest idea of what human faces were supposed to look like, and was none too skilled with a chisel. Every inch of skin seemed to be scarred. The mouth looked like a diagonal gash, and a large chunk of the nose was missing. But it was the man's eyes that made him frightening.
One of them was small, dark and beady. The other was large, round as a coin, and a vivid, electric blue.
Goblet of Fire, British paperback children's ed., page 163

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches! Each week, we revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before FiS was A Thing!

This is one of the very few Harry Potter-themed blocks I personally designed did not spring to life right out of my very own noggin.

Instead, it was inspired by this now-classic image from Warner Brothers:

Throwback Thursday: Harry Potter Style

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches! Each week, we revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before FiS was A Thing!

Here we have one of my all-time favorite Harry Potter-themed blocks, The Knight Bus. After many requests, I've also included an additional version of the pattern with pieced wheels. Both patterns are in one document, link below.

The Knight Bus Updated 2014

The Knight Bus in fabric, 2008.

Originally posted to Harry Potter Paper Piecing, March 2008:

There was a deafening BANG and Harry threw up his hands to shield his eyes against a sudden blinding light...

With a yell, he rolled back onto the pavement, just in time. A second later, a gigantic pair of wheels and headlights had screeched to a halt exactly where Harry had just been lying. They belonged, Harry saw when he raised his head, to a triple-decker, violently purple bus, which had appeared out of thin air. Gold lettering over the windscreen spelled The Knight Bus.

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches! Each week, we revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before FiS was A Thing!

This week we share what has always been a bittersweet design for me: Dumbledore's Half-Moon Spectacles. I designed his block after reading The Lightning Struck Tower.

Dumbledore's eyes were closed; but for the strange angle of his arms and legs, he might have been sleeping. Harry reached out, straightened the half-moon spectacles up on the crooked nose and wiped a trickle of blood from the mouth with is own sleeve.

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches! Each week, we revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before FiS was A Thing!

This week, we turn away from the funny brought to you by Merlin's Pants and straight into the scary.

Voldemort's Eyes was one of my earliest designs; not just Harry Potter, but in general. Here they are again, as creepy as ever and updated for 2014!

The thin man stepped out of the cauldron, staring at Harry...and Harry stared back at the face that had haunted his nightmares for three years. Whiter than a skull, with wide, livid, scarlet eyes, and a nose that was as flat as a snake's, with slits for nostrils...
