Hogwarts entrance hall

[hoiharry]

Hi everyone,

While everyone is waiting for potential new Lego Harry Potter sets, I've been building something.

I got inspired by playing the older Harry Potter video games on my PC, so I decided to build the Hogwarts entrance hall with my own twist on it.

I hope you all like.

Wow! I really love the look of the whole thing! Are you going to make modular sections that can be connected like the rooms in the game?

Wow! Was brought right back to the start of the Philosopher's Stone game, haha. Fantastic MOC!

Haha I wish I could do that, but unfortunately no.

You really captured the shaping and color! However (and this may just be the size of the baseplate), it feels a little stark and empty when compared to what the castle usually looks like. Is there any chance you could add more detail and/or figures?

Edit: One thing that might really help is if the ground were decorated, whether that means tiling it somewhat, or using plates to vary up the shades of gray. Far from the only option, though!

I love those games. That room is as iconic to me as the great Hall in the movies. I can already see the battle between Harry and Draco happening.

This IS great, shame you can't have Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs (yet).

Nice build.

Maybe you can add some tiles to cover the baseplate.

Hey thanks! That's actually a very nice idea. I also thought that there was still missing 'something'.

I'll see what I can do.

Yeah I know, such a shame. That's why I let the red and green banners face the other way.
