Start by painting the pumpkin white. You'll need 2-3 coats to cover it completely, though don't worry as much about the top because you'll cover it black later. Let dry for about 30 minutes.

When paint is dry, draw Harry's scar. This will help determine where the hair goes. Now Harry Potter's hair with a pencil (or skip this step if you want to do it freehand). Don't worry if you mess up because you can paint over any mistakes.

Use a red Sharpie to trace the scar, then paint the hair on top of the pumpkin with black and let dry.

Once the black paint dries, draw Harry's glasses with a pencil. I used a round piece of craft wood to trace the outside of the frame (you can use whatever you have on hand).

Then I drew the inside of the glasses freehand. I also made the scar slightly bigger.

Originally I'd planned to paint the glasses with black paint but decided it would be a whole lot easier to use a black Sharpie instead (and I was right...so much easier!)

Once you have the frames, use the Sharpie to draw the eyes. Then you can add a dot of white paint to each eye (you just need a little bit) for a fun sparkle.

Take the pencil and draw vertical stripes along the bottom of the pumpkin. Paint the stripes and let dry.

Now you're ready to display your cute Harry Potter pumpkin!
