Posted December 19, 20168 yr Hey everyone! As it is tradition by now, my family's Christmas tree will be decorated with LEGO Christmas baubles. After my series of Disney Princess baubles last year I obviously had to create another series of custom decorations for this Christmas. As creative as I am I chose something quite unusual for me as this years overall topic - or maybe I just hadn't build enough Harry Potter creations this year already. Either way I had great fun covering Harry's adventures in seven different baubles with one bauble per book capturing some of the most iconic scenes. I loved working in this totally different scale and enjoyed the challenge to find something more light-hearted for the final three novels that as we all know are quite dark. Here they are - I hope you find all of them recognisable :) Harry Potter Christmas Ornaments by rolli, on Flickr In case you are not that well-versed with the Harry Potter novels or movies I will list the scenes that my seven baubles cover here: 1. Hogwarts with small boats on the lake 2. The Chamber of Secrets, with the phoenix Fawkes fighting the Basilisk in front of the giant head of Salazar Slytherin 3. Buckbeak taking off from the pumpkin patch next to Hagrid's hut 4. The second task of the Triwizard Tournament - or: How to steal an egg from a Hungarian Horntail and survive. 5. Hogsmeade, the tiny village close to Hogwarts that is constantly covered in snow. Fancy a tea in Ms. Puddifoot's? 6. The Quidditch pitch - today we have the grabbing match between Gryffindor and Slythering 7. Diagon Alley with our heroes escaping on the back of one of the Gringotts guard dragons I hope you like it just as much as I do - let me know, feedback in any way is appreciated :) Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Best Markus
December 19, 20168 yr Very, very nice. These micro builds are instantly recognizable. Will you create multiples of each of these? Or is this a single set for your tree? Andy D
December 20, 20168 yr Very incredible how you manage to get this much detail/recognizability in models of this scale. wow
December 20, 20168 yr It's good to see that you're still building in your spare time! Great details again on such a small scale, I love the use of the Gargoyle wings!

After all that's what they are in the first place, with my parents receiving a set for our tree.

Cheers! He came out great if I may say so myself - really happy with him 15 hours ago, Ecclesiastes said: It's good to see that you're still building in your spare time!

I try not to stop - I'm definitely building much less than before but that's due to not having my collection with me yet. Thanks!
