I would not say that my household is looking forward to the final Harry Potter book, in the same way I would not say that the Pacific ocean is damp. The sheer volume of understatement would fill… at least a large thimble.

When I talked about the Armory and Fruits icon sets, I criticized both for being muddled at small sizes because the vector art was resized without being touched up. This icon set, however, is a perfect example of attention to detail at smaller sizes. Each of the 16×16 icons is redrawn to better fit the space. I especially like that the Hedwig icon (that’s the owl, if there’s something terribly wrong with you and you haven’t yet read the books) doesn’t just flatten perspective to try to fit, it’s a complete redraw.
