Thanks. Working on interior of Ollivanders at the mo but should be done in a few days. Finished interior of Broomstix tonight .

Made a comparison picture of the original and my moc. Made a few more alterations to some of the buildings as I ordered some more bricks. Just need to do interior of Oliivanders and Scribbulus now.

A bit off topic but has anyone bought the new Bonsai tree set for the tree build. I'm not usually mad on the trees that come with the harry potter sets except the ones that came with Expecto Patronum, they were pretty good.The Bonsai tree is cool, I just don't want the stand and bowl. I would love if lego would just do a varied tree range that is just the tree (to keep costs down) and you could get multiples of them to fill your builds.

Fab. Looks Amazing. Do you make interiors or is it just exterior build. Do you post your work anywhere? insta or flickr? Greenhouses look cool.

Happy new year everyone, hope everyone had fun building all their Christmas and New Year lego. I managed to get MBoM when the Lego shop was selling it and it was all sold out in-store but the staff sold me the one they build themselves for display that morning for 20% off. I was more than happy, and whoever built it was amazing at applying stickers. Got all the new Harry Potter book sets but they released early in-store here in Melbourne so no free MBoM set with that which was a shame. All my sticker sheets were crushed which is so annoying, gonna request new ones, I'm trying to flatten the ones that came with the sets under some actual books. The sets are cute but not really must haves. I think I would have preferred if the fronts of the book were covers like a Potions book cover. McGonagall is probably the best figure, Flitwick is ok but still not totally accurate and finally a soot covered face for Seamus.. Love all the new small book inserts and the new earmuffs for Herbology class. And the stickers are a mixed bag, some are nicely detailed and I'll use them in my moc but some of the Herbology and potions ones are a bit simple and ugly looking. Now I'm off to tidy my building room so I can build without messy distractions. Looking forward to seeing what 2021 brings to Harry Potter Lego.

My second side of the Fireplace from the advent calendar came with the cup of water again not the chocolate frog.

Not a fan of the Harry Potter lego arts. I was expecting colourful for some reason. I think the books are cool though so something new to get in January.

Not a fan of the second film or Depp in it. Hopefully recasting him might reinvigorate the next movie and hope they cast someone who has chemistry with Dumbledore, a bit like the chemistry between professor x and magneto, friends and enemies at the same time.

On the final run on Diagon Alley moc. Just need to finish Olivanders and all the outsides will be finished at least.

Nice job, you should probably add and extra level of window to the top and bottom windows in Olivanders to scale it up to the size of the other buildings, It looks a bit squished.

Yeah I actually never built the set from instructions, I went straight into my moc as I had decided on the new sizes of the shops and what I was going to alter. I might have tried my initial idea if I had built them normally on the baseplate first but I was too excited to do my bigger floor plan idea. I'm not finished QQS yet but this is what the new facade looks like after alterations. By ditching the baseplate I could reduce the width of the building and make the right side more balanced.

I'm all for giving a movie another go but when its bad its not worth wasting time on it. And the last two star wars movies were in the same boat, awful as well. No second viewing required for that rubbish. Rant over. Looking forward to seeing what the book sets look like. Not expecting much but hopefully some cool stickers and maybe new prints for some figures.

Yeah its a terribly written mess of a movie. I really don't think another movie will make this one seem better. They should pretend this one never happen Hoping the new game is great and then we might get more of them.

I think the Bell Towers are really the only major recognisable part of Hogwarts left considering the scale they ued for the Viaduct entrance this year. The set could be the towers and the building behind it that leads up to the Viaduct entrance. The Boathouse is possible but scale is an issue with that one. And after getting the Room of Requirements as an interior set we probably will get more of these now as they are running out of castle to fit rooms into. They could do a courtyard battle scene next year but it's hard to predict where the line is headed. They are starting to venture out of Hogwarts for more sets now so hopefully we get the Ministry and other cool places, maybe some new Fantastic beast sets or buildable animals, and maybe something from the new Hogwarts game.

Thanks, fun one to do as its so colourful. Makes a change from tan Hogwarts. Finished Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Cool build, love all the windows. Didn't change much of the original design, just expanded on it.
