Well, I can say that I was most unlucky with the title, I can blame in on a small language barrier :-P
I also love Harry Potter, there's a reason why I have the book :-)
I meant to say that it's too powerful for the untrained mind, but it came out as a Harry Potter offence.
Now that I'm through apologising, a little word on how it was done, it was nothing much, just a flash with a radio trigger inside the book, and a fan to blow my sister's hair back.
A little Nik Silverefex, faded out and a lot of detail enhance with Topaz.

I was going to make a comment about the greatness of Harry Potter, but then I read your comments and was happy to find the meaning behind the title. Great idea, wonderful lighting, though it is a tad harsh and takes the details out of her face a bit.
All in all I love the photo!! Awesome job! and keep the Harry Potter love going!
I really like the photo. Small nitpick -- it created such an unfortunate shadow on the nose, if there was a way to light that a bit or reflect it a bit, it would have been a 10.
