This is an awesome tapestry


This tapestry "Captive Unicorn" by an unknown artist. It's an interesting tapestry, and the company I'm working for this summer, Artifact Puzzles, is making a wooden jigsaw puzzle out of it later this year.

The best part about this tapestry was a complete surprise:

The other day I was watching the 6th Harry Potter movie, and I saw this on the wall behind Harry and Ginny as they're about to go into the Room of Requirement to stash Harry's copy of Advanced Potionmaking. So not only is it a cool image, it's IN THE HARRY POTTER FILMS.

This makes the tapestry infinitely cooler. The only downside is that its being on the wall outside the Room of Requirement is totally incorrect. In the true source of Harry Potter knowledge (i.e. the books), the wall outside the Room of Requirement is totally bare (in the book "a blank stretch of wall") and on the wall across there is a tapestry of a wizard trying to teach trolls to do ballet (they're wearing tutus). Nothing to do with a unicorn. Oh well.

When have the HP films ever cared about accuracy anyway? Cough the Burrow burning down in the 6th film cough and then magically reappearing in film 7.1 cough.
