The first two Harry Potter games: Mystery at Hogwarts and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game, released in 2000.

These were the first two Harry Potter games released by Mattel in 2000. I helped design and illustrate them working with Ninnett Wood, Tyler Kenney and the team at Mattel, and with Maureen McHale, Martha Catlin and all the creative people at McHale Design. The cards are shown below and are quite possibly the first depictions of Hogwarts, all the spells and classrooms, Ron, Hermione, Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, McGonagall, Dumbledore and Hagrid. All art was run by and approved by J.K.Rowling. The art of Malfoy and Crabbe were not approved in time for the initial printing and were replaced by silhouettes. They were included in later printings.
