⚡ Harry Potter Book Nook ⚡

The making of a Harry Potter themed Book Nook I made as a gift to my super fan sister in law! I had to skip over a few bits for brevity, sorry if that gets confusing at all but it's about three weeks of work cut down to 15 minutes! Here's an album of the finished nook! - imgur.com/gallery/3LD8DUj

The trick with the mirror and the double-sided shop signs make me clap my hands with glee like an 8 year old :D

[@ErisedMediaCo]

Seriously! Such a good idea!

[@MsArana]

That was my favorite part of the build and something I'll keep in my back pocket for future projects.

[@peterlee9691]

Mirror was a great idea because you could see the details of the hidden side too not just the illusion of depth. But should use a glass cutter instead, cleaner break & less dust.

[@billyb4665]

@@MsArana Exactly

[@22nola]

Very clever. I also love the bookends.

[@TheRealSweedie]

Starts cutting out individual bricks Nerdforge: **nightmare flashbacks**

[@zORg_alex]

Yeah same thing. This was insane thing. This creation is priceless.

[@ItsVerosLife]

But she copied him?

[@ayehhamidian542]

@@ItsVerosLife I'm pretty sure she didn't "copy" him. making a Harry Potter book nook can be a very appealing idea for any artist who is a fan of Harry Potter (me included). At the end of the day they have mostly used very different techniques and had different approaches. I personally love both end results. :)

[@patmacrotch5611]

@@ItsVerosLife The whole point of making these videos is so other people make what you make but with their own touches, ideas, and style. That's kind of the point. That and its basically just a diorama (you tube is full of book nooks), Harry Potter themed. Finally, she makes things she wants for herself, documents the process in an entertaining way, and by no means tries to portray any of her work as completely 100% original ideas.

[@davidhope5875]

Marks out all the individual cobbles, paints them and weathers them, then covers the whole damn lot with snow !

[@TheProppingBlock]

Ha! Yeah I was making it up as I went along so that'd be due to my poor planning! I wasn't sure where I wanted the snow to be so I just painted and weathered everything!

[@FlowersInHisHair]

@@TheProppingBlock That's the best way to go. That way you can change your mind on the fly - don't have to worry about sticking to a plan too rigidly and can adapt if there's a problem.

[@kayleighbrown965]

I see you point but it makes it much more realistic that way, as the snow gets trodden in, it turns to ice and as it melts and refreezes, it takes on a crusty semi-opaque glassy look? So you see the cobbles underneath. You see it in a lot of old cities :)

[@aerial_silks_hoop]

Love it

[@311Gryphon]

I kind of thought that too, but then I saw the tiny feet come out to make footprints and all I could think was, "GENIUS!"

[@DukeOfChirk]

It’s just occurred to me that when a house spider wanders in there, it’s either going to settle right down or be scarred for life....

[@mxd-1990asn]

Making something like this, could actually be a idea for actual spider cages (like for people who keep tarantulas) ...but idk if thats not too much or possible ,since u have to clean the cages once in a while...i dont have much knowledge about keeping spiders as pets ,so.... dunno if that would work. Was just a idea

[@catsandcrafts171]

Started out thinking 'ooh, I already have everything I need to make something like this'. Finished with 'except the skill... '. Amazing work!

[@DemonMage]

But you have the TIME to get good enough.

[@megp3526]

The tiny toothpick foot to make footprints on the path got me

[@alexandrabond4320]

This is mind-blowing!!!

[@lorrainemoynehan6791]

You're a wizard mr Propping Block!

[@standemonium8212]

This is insanely cool! I hope to see other iterations of these. Like horror stuff.

[@ameliacasarez8352]

im actually speechless. the more you added to this i kept thinking there’s no way you could top the last detail, and then you proved me wrong... continuously! for 15 minutes!! well done, this deserves more views 👏🏼

[@andrew2033]

I don’t even like Harry Potter that much but I still want this! 😊 awesome work

[@BerlsMcSquirrels]

6:13...relatable! This is how my table looks after an hour of crafting:)

[@TheProppingBlock]

Every time 😆

[@izzy0629]

THIS IS HONESTLY SO CUTE AND I HIGHKEY WANT IT

[@nickorsini2975]

My friend, you bow to no one - Aragorn

[@hayleystellabrowne7626]

10:31 I lost it - the icicles! Brilliant - what an amazing gift

[@dorisschmelhaus7621]

Wow, was für ein Künstler. Was für ein Kunstwerk. Einzigartig!

[@MrJtilleman]

Your creativity and ingenuity are amazing!

[@kristianberg4264]

I would die to be able to have one of this very same Book Nook, just gorgeous!!

[@keldaogg2157]

I could NOT stop watching this!

[@philips170t]

Very nice, Only a wizard can perform such wizardry.

[@erinwatson9952]

This is amazing, you've done SUCH a beautiful job! You totally need to do The Hobbit Shire or The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe or more Harry Potter because heck we need more of these!

[@Alan_AB]

One of the best "hobby videos" I have seen to date. Brilliant!!!

[@AbiNomac]

I was glued to watching this from beginning to end. This channel will be big.

[@JGLy22086]

I can’t imagine how many hours this took. The talent and artistry are evident! I would love to have one, but I’d never be to afford one!!

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

I cannot remember the last time I was as vicariously stressed as I was when you got to the lantern.

[@TheProppingBlock]

Hahaha that was a stressful bit! I cut out the 20-30 minutes of me just trying to get the tiny thing in the right spot with the glue!

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

@@TheProppingBlock I used to paint miniatures for D&D, back in the day. Watching your very awesome work triggered vivid memories of trying to paint a hard-to-reach belt buckle with a toothpick tip. I goofed and some of the paint pooled inside the buckle, ruining the leather colour beneath. I have never been as angry at a cubic millimeter of liquid in my entire life. So, thanks for that! (Seriously, though. Keep up the good work!)

[@minimaker5600]

I love the idea of book nooks . . . it gives you another alternative way of displaying.

[@DevilsHandyman]

It was great watching you build this out.

[@gaudia3985]

Wowza! A mechanical wizard molding magic with his hands.

[@xonikkiecal]

I’m gonna cry about how beautiful this is

[@nate_2002]

The details in the snow, the lights, the mirror, everything is beautifully made and detailed

[@IsaBetaBug]

Totally mindblowing. Sooo good!

Digging the dirty workspace!!! That’s a sign of a TRUE MAKER!... Lol.

[@salemgraves1692]

I've seen a few HP booknooks and this is by far the best! The snow really knocked it to the top of the list because it makes me think of christmas, and what's more magical then christmas time? Oh and the train bookends. 😉 nice touch. This was amazing. Thanks for sharing.
