Whilst working at Greaves and Thomas I designed and made a prototype globe based on the characters from the Harry Potter books.

In this Harry Potter Celestial Globe the position of each figure was carefully considered so that the book character had some connection or personality trait similar to the constellations represented in a Celestial Globe. For example, the Weasley twins represented Gemini, Professor McGonagall (in cat form) as Leo, and Harry replaced Orion, the most easily recognised constellation from Earth. The characters in the stories were perfect to go on a globe, a mix of the magical with historical celestial mapping.

This globe did not go into production due to several factors outside my control, but the making of the prototype was enjoyable.
