hoiharry Posted September 24, 2017 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.

GentlemanJoker Posted September 24, 2017 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnnaBuildsLego Posted September 24, 2017 Wow! Was brought right back to the start of the Philosopher's Stone game, haha. Fantastic MOC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N_Cat Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) 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!

Huigberts Builds Posted September 25, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Kallus Posted September 25, 2017 This IS great, shame you can't have Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs (yet). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted September 25, 2017 Nice build. Maybe you can add some tiles to cover the baseplate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

That's why I let the red and green banners face the other way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
