A very fun video. I like to do this kind of mod, first in digital and then in real life. It works well. I also agree this set was always far too compromised space-wise but you've greatly improved it especially near the stairs. A simple improvement might be to swop each 1x1 tile for a 1x1 modified tile with clip on the vertical wall surface either side of the front door to add a connection point for some sort of different handrail. Cheers!

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to do and very satisfying seeing it come together - I'm sure I'm not finished with it yet so may make an update at some point. Good idea re: the modified tile with clip, that would open up some more possibilities in a small space. Hope you're feeling better soon and looking forward to your next video!

I love your addition to the sanctum, it gives the building that extra thickness I think it really needs while also keeping the alleyway. Please put out instructions and a part list! Your design is IT.😊

[@dunkandeggbricks]

Thanks so much! I don’t think I’ll be able to make instructions as such, but I’ll upload the digital file to Rebrickable and possibly also a parts list

Thanks because I am getting this for my birthday and I want to make it the best and I love your videos

This is fantastic! Can't wait for more modifications videos!

Wow, this looks so much better with those changes! I know you did this a long time ago- I just happened to notice your Slytherin Common Room video earlier (which looks amazing btw! I am obsessed with your HP builds- I’ve been subbed for years lol), I’m not sure if you ever put out a parts list or a studio file, but if you did & you happen to see this comment, lmk! I’ve been eyeing this set since it released, and now that it’s supposedly retiring this year, I’m hoping to grab it sometime soon- I think the stairs idea is definitely a good call- I like your entryway much better (both the exterior & interior) and I 100% agree with you on the point that it’s a shame they didn’t do it this way to begin with- I didn’t realize how small it looks from the side until I watched this, and with your 4 stud expansion it truly looks like a proper building- not to mention a little more legroom inside lol. Keep up the incredible work! Your attention to detail & building techniques and ideas are truly inspirational- I hope all is well & you are able to enjoy building in whatever time you get to do so! I always love seeing updates & even just random videos from your channel. Thanks for all of the amazing content, as always!

[@dunkandeggbricks]

Hi!! Thanks so much and glad to hear you’re enjoying the HP updates - more to come soon!! I didn’t think anyone was still looking at older videos like this so thanks for commenting - I never did upload a parts list or anything like that for this, but I’ll see what I can do. I wouldn’t be able to do instructions (it would take a looong time) but I’d happily post the studio file on Rebrickable for people to use for free. I did actually sell my Sanctorum a while ago to focus on other themes, but I did enjoy the expansion and think it was an improvement on the original. If I don’t announce that the build it up then please ask me again for it, either here or on Insta

@@dunkandeggbricks yeah I tend to go on random bouts of watching old content from people who I follow who are making their own versions of things or upgrading them- so I spent a good day or so watching your channel this past weekend lol! I’m glad to hear and see you are back at it on here- I understand how “real life” gets pretty annoying & in the way lol.. can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with now! I should have picked up the Sanctum over the past few days w double points but I totally forgot about that lol. Would def love to hear your thoughts on this “current” and upcoming wave- your builds are far superior to the sets being released, however I am quite interested in seeing what they do for the Grand Staircase Tower- I have a feeling I will be unimpressed, but they’ve surprised me before! Thanks again re: parts list! I will bug you in the future if I don’t figure it out or if I don’t see you post it lol.. can’t wait for your upcoming videos! Be well!

[@potatopete3703]

Good video, looks loads better. I know the alley isn't quite right but this compromise keeps the portal to the time stone and the door changing feature.

[@dunkandeggbricks]

Thank you - I agree, it isn't quite right but made the mod a whole lot easier and kept the spirit of the original set - just a shame it wasn't like this out of the box!

[@jamescochran8273]

Very nicely done! Vastly improves the interior spaces!

[@dunkandeggbricks]

Thanks! I love the interior or the original but it was very cramped, still might add details at some point in the future but still better than it was

[@breyten_paleoman]

Great mods bro! Please do a design with the staircase going to the third floor (or second floor😂). Idk if it will be too crowded inside, but I would still be very interested to see what it could look like.

[@radoslawzagrodzki]

Wait, so you said that corner building should reach the edges on each side and you have kept the alley anyway?

[@dunkandeggbricks]

Ideally I would have liked to make it a complete corner, but for simplicity (and cost) I decided to keep compromise and keep the alleyway as is - and it means that the portal function and the chimney (that holds the cloak on the inside) could stay as is

[@TheRealmfc90125]

Could you please post the Studio file? Thanks!!

[@Bebo968R]

This build is impressive. Are three sets needed to make your moc or are two enough?

[@dunkandeggbricks]

Nope just the one plus some extra pieces! I’ll try and upload the digital file to rebrickable which shows the extra parts needed

[@wai0937]

This is a great mod. Can I ask how much it cost in extra parts? Will instructions be available?

[@dunkandeggbricks]

Thank you! I’m not sure of the cost but happy to share the studio file on rebrickable - I’ll post on Instagram when it’s up there, the new parts are a sub model so should be easy to work out what’s needed

[@IG2013-z]
