Most Impressive!

Looking good!🤩

[@BridgetBackpacking]

Wow your progress is amazing! You definitely deserve a Lego room all to yourselves with a nice table!

[@BroomstickBricks]

Love the progress! The terrain looks great, and I like your river / bridge idea to add some different colour / texture. Keen to see how the outer wall turns out next week! You’ve made great progress in 10 weeks 👍

Still so happy to see your videos popping in my feed ! maybe adding merpeople in the weird water bit behind the castle or a depiction of the scene where the golden trio give a slice of toast to one of the giant squid could be nice ... This scene is referred to in the video game and I do believe in that quest the player has to find the cave where someone is buried behind the mosaic of the giant squid. Which reminds me, the cave would approximately be located roughly at this spot of the castle ...

[@brickreations5433]

What a great suggestion, you’ve now given me a completely unprecedented side quest to find out what scene that is😂

[@lojacphi215]

@@brickreations5433 I believe the name of the quest is "scopes last hope" and it may be a Slytherin's exclusivity ... good luck

Oh perfect I’m in ravenclaw😂

It’s amazing! Base blue baseplate color looks best. But please scale down Hagrid hut, it’s too big compared to the caste

Really great job with the terrain, it looks fantastic! Also a good choice of making the fountain area in the grounds a bit smaller, adding the dark forest, Hagrids hut and the patronus scene adds so much more than just the open grounds. Stream really looks great and the colour transition works - making the lake bright really captures the scene from the movie. Leaving it brighter can also allow you to be playful with the trees, adding brighter, or even trees built with blue pieces closest to the lake to bring out a more organic look. Kinda like they are doing in the recent forbidden forest sets. If you're open to suggestions, regarding the dungeon area and empty bit of water between the astronomy tower and Ravenclaw tower - It would be so cool if you did the Hufflepuff common room where you're planning to to the Slytherin common room. Your take on the Hufflepuff common room with a small skylight and above park, like it's in the game, would be awesome to see. The Slytherin common room could instead go in the water area if you raise the water level, build a small waterfall towards the long bridge. Really great of you having us follow along your build, this is one of my youtube highlights of the week

Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to share your thoughts! You’ve given me plenty to think about and you might just be surprised how much of that I’ll be taking on board for future episodes.

I'd make the astronomy tower bigger it should be the biggest tower according to the movies😅

I hope you complete everything from Hogwarts castle, Quiditch, hogsmeade and station and a journey to London 9 3/4 along with London to the extent of leaky cauldron, diagon alley, knockturn alley and ofcourse a colony of the privet drive and of course the playing swings area from harry potter order of the phoenix!

[@brickreations5433]

Ahaha I guess I’ve got a huge list of future projects now

[@mattwhelan13]

yikes, you need to get yourself a rubber mallet or something from pushing plates down without wrecking your hands

[@brickreations5433]

That’s concerning that I’ve never thought of that…
