Anything in the text which talks about Ivy drawing, I've probably drawn. Unfortuantely I usually sketch on paper, not having gotten the hang of doing it on the Wacom tablet yet for most things. (And fortunately, it's okay if my art isn't very good, since that's pretty authentic to high school art quality.) About the only thing I have up currently is some pictures of the students in Ivy's year I made using a now-sadly-gone icon generator.
I've been sort of toying with the multimedia idea for a while now on other projects as well; one of my friends is producing audio dramas, and occasionally suggests I write him scripts. I'm also playing with the idea of being able to include content in an online form that I can't have in a paperback - one of my sci-fi projects is wanting to include press releases in-world, video and audio, interactive quizzes and crap like that. But most of the electronic-age stuff isn't really valid for HP character-created works.
I think anybody with a gaming background has probably created maps, props and so on for games; I see no reason this can't happen for stories. I expect most people tend to prefer only one medium for their story telling, or maybe two, so muldimedia projects may be a bit rarer, or at least want collaborators. Not everybody can draw, write, sew, animate, sculpt, and collage well enough that they want to share work in all those mediums.
And for me, it's part of the writing process; I draw location maps of bloody everything (damn Hogwarts' moving halls), sketch characters and furniture and clothes, things like that. I've made jewelry and knitted things for characters, bought outfits with them in mind (which sucks if what they like to wear doesn't look good on me; Ivy's coloring and mine don't go at all, so it's a good thing she's not a chotheswhore like me).
