LONDON -- J.K. Rowling, a.k.a. the undisputed Queen of Twitter, has just bestowed a very special honour on one lucky Harry Potter fan.

Rowling shared a tweet on Tuesday afternoon revealing her "favourite fan art of young Sirius with his best friend".

Today seems a very good day to share my favourite fan art of young Sirius with his best friend. No crying, now. https://t.co/nLwdYADwBq— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) November 3, 2015

Here it is in full:

For any Harry Potter muggles out there, the two guys in that picture are Harry's father James Potter and his Godfather Sirius Black (photographed in their younger years).

The picture was drawn by artist and student Aïcha Wijland (aka artofpan), who uploaded the piece -- titled "1978" -- to Deviant Art.

"A seriously shitty sketch of the lads in front of their first flat," Wijland wrote beneath her picture. "Probably gonna regret uploading this but whatever, I'll make something better before the week is up."

We wonder if she's changed her opinion of it now?
