Bentolicious #153
Have you watched Harry Potter 7 Part 1 - The Deathly Hallows? We watched the movie on Friday afternoon. The theater was full but hubby was so smart to buy the tickets for us ahead. Audrey was enjoying the movie while Andrew was bored after half it. My kids never watched the Harry Potter moview (1-6) at the cinema before. So it was always only me and my husband. But I have the Harry Potter DVDs collection at home and my kids were having Harry Potter movie marathon (1-3) on Saturday. Inspired by the movie, I browsed the internet and found the cute Harry Potter cartoon here. I used egg sheet to re-create the character although I couldn't create as details as the original cartoon because of the time limitation. But I think I'm happy with it.
I hope everyone had a great time on the weekend. I have one good news to share. One of my bento pictures has been featured on newsletter from SCA Hygiene Malaysia Sdn Bhd (picture shown below). The company asked me whether they could use one of my bento pictures for their company newsletter and I didn't have any objection on that. In fact, I love they asked for the permission first which showed their appreciation for my bento pictures. Thanks to Jasmine and Sherin to send me a complimentary gift. I was surprised to receive that on last Friday. Now thinking about Christmas, thinking about when I should start making Christmas theme bento. Maybe I will start tomorrow, school break is coming soon. So I will try to find some ideas for that tonight.

And congrats for the bento feature in the newsletter! I think soon our bento community will goes into Christmas bento, can't wait to see all the lovely creations! I already made one for my son, but no chance to share it yet, haha...

Lia, you are the GREAT bento maestro! I really admire the amazing things that you can do with the egg sheet. I really could use some lesson from you.

@Kelly Polizzi : Thanks a lot Kelly! I just edited the post. I want to use nori for the hair and eyes details but still have the brown egg sheet left, so used it and saved my nori hehehe ... You can use X-Acto knife to cut the details. It helps a lot :)

@Rio : Thanks a lot Rio for your kind comment!

@Lil'chan : Thanks a lot Lil'chan! I love the books more than the movies. More details in the book :)

@sherimiya : Thanks a lot Sheri for everything! Really appreciate your supports all this time. Feeling blessed to have you as a bento friend. The Japchae was made last night and re-heated in the morning. Saved me a lot of time so I can do the Harry Potter peacefully hahaha ... :D

Congratulations on your featured bento photo! That is fantastic! Your Harry Potter is amazing! You have a wonderful talent for creating characters with egg sheets, I love seeing your art. I can't wait to see what comes next!!

WOW!!! Congrats on the feature!!!
And this is the best harry potter bento I've ever seen .... you're an amazing amazing bento artist!!! I am so glad you are my friend ^_^

thanks for the reply. i thought it was just me missing something haha. Whenever i try with the xacto knife it always comes out jagged. You do such a wonderful job! Do you put the picture over the egg sheet and then trace around it?

@Indonesia Eats : Thanks a lot Pep!

@karaimame : Thanks a lot Lilian! You can speak so many languages, awesome! Hope to see your Christmas bento soon :)

@OhayoBento : Thanks a lot Heather!

@Just a MOM : Thanks a lot Lin!

@Kelly Polizzi : For the big parts of the picture, yes I traced the picture on the parchment baking paper and put on the top of the egg sheet. But for the small parts just cut it free hand :)

Congratulations on the photo! It looks great, and I bet more people will be inspired to try bento. I also made a Harry Potter bento, but yours is light years better than mine. Maybe mine needs more training at Hogwarts. Ha ha!

Wow, what a great looking Harry Potter! We haven't seen the new movie yet and will probably wait until in comes out on video - going to the theatre is very costly where we live. It has been fun though, listening to everyone's comments about it!

Congrats on the feature and this outstandingly cute and skillful bento! You are a superstar in the bento world, inspiring us with your creations. So great, Lia!!

@Sonoma Bento : Thanks a lot Michelle! I hope more and more people will try to make their own bento and throw away their negative thinking about bento. I love your 3D version of Harry Potter bento, so cool!

@Kuusou : Hi Kuusou! Thanks a lot for your kind comment! Watching on the video at home is fun too with the whole family. I think will be coming out soon on video / DVD :)

@bentobird : Thanks a lot Jenn! All of you are so inspiring too. I love how we learn from each other bento :)

wow! This is a cute Harry Potter! I enjoyed the movie very much! We have been following the Harry Potter movie too. Can't wait til part 2!!

Congrats on being in the article. Your talent deserve mentions! :)

wow.. I am big fan of Harry Potter too.. I watch all the movie.
But this time I might have to get the DVD. Never step into a cinema after my elder is born.. haha.

Love the cute Harry bento, now he has grown up, so kinda miss him in the ealier episodes.

and just curious, the face also made of egg sheets? and how u make that colour?

sometimes i am still no clue on how to mix the correct colours.

wow cute lovely Harry Potter mba lia.
Congratulation for your first international debut on Malaysia newsletter.

Hope you like it ^^

@Mrs. P : Thanks a lot Mrs. P!

@Bobo : Thanks a lot Florence! Me too, kind of missing his kid' face and now looks so grown up. The face was made from egg sheet too. I put just very small amout of red food coloring otherwise couldn't get the beige face color. You have to experiment with the color. Is always wise to put small amount of food coloring and increase the amount until you find a perfect color that you want :)

@3snadesignshouse : Thanks a lot Esna for your comment and your review! Actually is mother of Audrey and Andrew, not Cindy and Bryan hehehe ... :D

Congratulation on the feature, you deserve it. Your bento is like "everyday surprise" to me. Just like this bento, it's so awesome....

@Vanessa : Thank you so much Vanessa!

Lia, Congrats on the bento feature! Totally cool. For this Harry Potter bento? I am BLOWN AWAY!! Whoa. That is the cutest Harry Potter ever. So freaking cool!! I don't know how you do these but soooo cool! You need to do a book. I wanted to see the movie yesterday on my day off but it was rainy and I was still so tired. Maybe next week. Kids.. they are so used to seeing everything these days. lol!

Congrats on the feature and superb job on the cute Harry ! We saw the movie last sat and it was the first Harry movie for my kids too. Son love it but my girl said it's scary !

Congrats Lia, happy for you! your work deserves it enough! you are an Indonesian bento queen :D

Maybe we'll never be able to see the last Harry Potter at cinema coz my kid's scared of it so I'll have to watch the DVD while she's not at home ^^;

@Chantale : Thanks a lot Chantale! I am happy just to blog it, no pressure hahaha ... You have to rest so you get fully recharge. The movie will still play next week, don't worry you have plenty of time to watch it :)

@anna2003 : Thanks a lot Karen! Lucky that your girl didn't ask to go out from the theater before the movie finish hehehe ... :D

@babykins : Thanks a lot Izumi for your sweet comment and for the title hahaha ... Hope you will enjoy the DVD later at home at your home alone time :D

wow...that's very nice and very detailed of Harry Potter. Although I didn't watch the movie, but I am sure he is as handsome as the person in movie :) And congrats to the feature in SCA. You really deserve it :b
