Ever since HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE came out fifteen years ago, fans have been secretly waiting for their Hogwarts acceptance letters which never came. One fan decided to do something about this and created her very own Hogwarts right in her living room!
Using over 400,000 Lego bricks, Alice Finch spent more than 12 months building a 3D replica of the infamous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She looked to Rowling’s books, the hit movies and even the Harry Potter studio tour in London to make sure her model looked exactly like it was supposed to. Often times, the descriptions in the books and what was shown in the movie contradicted each other, so Alice used to best judgement to figure out which worked best.
Lego has created hundreds of Harry Potter play sets, but Alice wasn’t thrilled with these because they are only finished on one side. Alice wanted a play set with that was architecturally correct in which she and her kids could happily play.
The result is am amazing and intricate piece of work featuring pieces ordered from all over the world. Check out the amazing photos below:
