Wow, your model is amazing!! True to the book, including the trout stream. I just voted for it on Lego Ideas. Good luck!

I was at the Harry Potter NY store in December and it had FB merchandise. I mostly remember seeing Nifflers and even picked up a stuffed one to check the price, but there was also wands, books, T-shirts, and more based on the franchise.

I would love to see Yaxley’s raining office in the MoM set.

I have the 2011 Diagon Alley set. I would like to modify Gringotts bank so it is larger than the buildings in the most recent Diagon Alley set. Maybe add a third story. Has anyone done this? I’d like to see some ideas.

There is a Lego resale shop in my town that currently has a Winter Village on display. I think the way they incorporated the Gingerbread House into the layout is brilliant. The center of the layout has a Christmas market theme that includes the carousel, food booths, an ice skating rink, the large GWP Christmas tree, and a gingerbread house attraction. Here is how they staged the gingerbread house attraction: -booth in front of the big house where visitors can buy tickets for the Gingerbread House attraction. -Fences surround the 3 houses (the 2018 house and the 2 small GWP houses). -On the big house, baker minifigure are standing on ladders putting the finishing touches on the house. -The Gingerbread man and woman are placed in front of the big tree a props for a photo opportunity. A photographer is taking pictures with the visitors to the attraction. It is very clever and well done.

Here’s my guess for the D2C set: A brick-built trunk containing buildable items such as Harry’s wand, glasses, a caldron, books, golden snitch, chocolate frogs, etc.
