Harry Potter Cards and Inexplicably Starry Scabbers

[stuttermoan]

Today, while cleaning my room, I found a box of cards from the Harry Potter Trading Card Game. I remember finding them in a store a few years ago and buying them with the intention of scanning images. Here are a few with particularly interesting character depictions.


Snape, looking uncharacteristically happy:



Lily with frogspawn:



The Dursleys, looking snooty:



Percy, most likely experiencing pwnage at the hands of the twins:



The Trio, along with inexplicably starry Scabbers:



Scabbers is pictured again by himself here, both starry and blinged out:



In both images, he's got black stars on his fur. A few years back, laverinth posted about this weirdness. There is absolutely nothing in the books about stars on Scabbers. The only reason I can dredge up is that, over a decade ago, some marketing person thought he looked too plain and decided to jazz him up to appear more magical. Seriously, if anyone has more info about starry Scabbers, please share it!

Indeedy. It's hard to see in the scan, but he's got long, black fingernails. Maybe he was feeling perkygoth that day
