Very well done! The look of concentration on the model's face is great!

Very clever but watch the healing brush around the edge of the hair. Try cloning at 70% opacity around that area and the join up to the top of the image. Then drop the opacity to 50% and then 25% to help conceal the evidence. 6 for creativity and effort.

would have been cool it the spell was real (I'm a potter fan too!)
this is a nice idea. anyway, if there is something I'd like to pick on it, it would be the wall at the back - it doesn't seem to serve a purpose. My preference would be to entirely remove it, or having something more interesting, like using an old building (example). nice work once again.

Meets the challenge but not a particularly strong shot for me. The lighting seems wrong somehow...

I really like this one. The expression on her face is terrific! I look forward to reading how you did it. I also like the lighting - it's dramatic on her face.

A nitpick would be to clean up the bumpiness in the wall. You did a nice job of fuzzing it out on the left around her head, so I mean to extend that to the left edge and also from the right side of her head to the right edge.

The rubbing of the string is visible above her head...
only if it werent I would have never figured :-)

Good idea though.

Mr Potter... I think I see the remnant of a string across her shirt and a suspicious fuzziness at the top of her head that may be a sign of some cloning. Nice concept but it looks like the execution may have been rushed. It's back to Charms class for you!

I like this idea a lot, but could think of a number of improvements. Darker room, darker clothes (perhaps even something looking a bit more like Hermione Granger), better background and much more subtle lighting could have made this a great photo! The glow stick looks terrific!

Love the title & concept... wish the background was better and the lighting was less harsh.

Wait, hermione had curly hair! Nice concept. Nicely done bit of trickery. A bit harsh on the sidelighting. I'm not crazy about the texture on the wall, but that's a nitpick. 6

Nicely done. Only thing I think that could improve this image (IMHO) would be the background and lighting is a little bright, I think if you used less light the glow stick would have glown more and would have less hot spots. Or could have not kept light on through the whole shutter time and only flash it for a second.

good idea, the side lighting is a bit harsh and background is uninteresting ... I think that the model and background in black would have made the glow stick stand out more ...

excellent as a square crop...great result...perhaps the lighting could have been better, but well done
