🏰 *The Forbidden View* captures the magical silhouette of Hogwarts rising above the Forbidden Forest, bathed in moonlight. ✨ Painted in 2022 by Hope Blakely, this 11x14 acrylic-and-oil piece was inspired by a fleeting scene in the Harry Potter films—when the castle appears from the forest below.  
💡 A mix of acrylic underpainting and oil highlights bring depth to the dark pines, glowing castle windows, and luminous moon.  
🎬 A screen-still moment turned into original fine art.  
🌌 A one-of-a-kind piece for fans of fantasy, film, and magical worlds.
