Sisco Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I'm all for a good Harry Potter Month. That would be so much fun! Quote

Oky Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Glad to see so much excitement for a HP Month! It would be very much fun indeed, and there is lots of potential for contests and other activities! We could have a "Build a room in Hogwarts" competition. It could be any room, including class rooms, common rooms, bathrooms, or the Room of Requirement. Or perhaps a contest to recreate a scene from one of the seven books on a 16x16 vignette (and possibly other size categories), just like the epic scenes contest in the Star Wars forum. Maybe the mods can even use their "magic" powers to get TLC to provide some of the new HP sets as prizes! Either way, it would be truly magical month! You just love Toy Story, dontcha? Indeed I do! As they mentioned in the beginning of this topic: A pirate themed month would be awsome! And as it was mentioned later on in the thread, we already had one, and a pretty long one at that. Quote
MrTools Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) I agree with Oky, HP month would be best, as mentioned we are getting the theme back and would be something we haven't had for a while. Plus i do like the ideas for the contests! Edited July 30, 2010 by MrTools Quote
The Legonater Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I'll be the first to say I'm all against an HP month. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I'll be the first to say I'm all against an HP month. Seconded. I'm not really a fan of HP, but if it's just the two of us against many of them, our voices will be drowned. But still, it would be cool to have a new themed month once again. It's up to our mods to decide. Quote
Oky Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) I'll be the first to say I'm all against an HP month. Care to elaborate why you're so much against it? I can understand if you're not a fan of the franchise like KielDaMan, but straight-out objecting it is a different thing. And instead of just saying "no", how about suggesting a better month?

-JD- Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 What month do I want? HP Why? Hermione Nuff said. Quote
Professor Flitwick Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Seems like a Harry Potter month contest would be great! Hopefully if it is H/P, it'll be in September, as I'm away for most of August. Just think of it, scene contests, design a character contests. What month do I want? HP Why? Hermione Nuff said. I must say, I've always been more attracted to Ginny. Hermione makes a nice second, though. Quote

It's all that stupid witchcraft and magic spells... Personally, I'm all for a Toy Story month. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 It's all that stupid witchcraft and magic spells... Personally, I'm all for a Toy Story month. Stupid is such a strong word you might pierce the hearts and drew the ire of HP fans. I would also love to have a TS month, but it's highly unlikely since TS3 has gone past already, while HP is just about to come. Quote
General Redwater Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 And as it was mentioned later on in the thread, we already had one, and a pretty long one at that. Sadly not long enough for me to be there... It's all that stupid witchcraft and magic spells... Personally, I'm all for a Toy Story month. I'd rather have a Harry Potter month than a Toy Story month. Witchcraft and magic spells are very interesting to read about. - General Redwater Quote
Oky Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) It's all that stupid witchcraft and magic spells... Personally, I'm all for a Toy Story month. I see. So magic spells are stupid, but levitating objects with your mind, having visions, and performing Jedi mind tricks is okay? Well, it's too bad you despise it so much, but I'm glad there are some supporters for a TS month! Edited August 1, 2010 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Eskallon Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 I'm all for a HP themed month, perhaps in november though when the 1st part of the deathly hallows comes out. Oh but would that be too close to all the bits EB for christmas? Quote
Matn Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 I agree, November would be good. Or October, as the new sets will come out then. It sounds a good idea anyway, I was already hoping for a LEGO Harry Potter month when we had our previous themed month! It would be so much fun, perhaps including contests about: characters, epic scenes, classrooms, dormitory rooms, 'behind the scenes': creations about stuff that's not described but could have happened (like playing outside on Hogwarts' ground),... the list of possibilities is pretty big! Yes, I'm already excited. Quote
Oky Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Yeah, November would be best since that's when the movie comes out and people who don't have any Harry Potter sets have some time to buy the new sets. How about a twist on the Whack-A-Fig contest where you have to use magic spells instead of blunt objects? I mean, who doesn't want to turn Hinckley into a toad, or even better, a Lego ice cube tray? (No offense, Hinck!) Quote

Ah, but levitating objects with your mind, having vision, and performing Jedi mind tricks has nothing to do with sorcery Quote
-JD- Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Yes, with a HP month, we should have the following: - Contests - Community Builds - Whack-a-Sigfig - HP Themed Avatars - New HP tags Perhaps some contest could be: - Scenes we'd like to see (silly/serious parts not included in the HP story) - EB/HP Mash-up (putting our sigfigs in Hogwarts) - Epic Scenes - Best Avatar I'd prefer Harry Potter over Toy Story any day. Quote
Oky Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah, a "Who are you in Harry Potter" competition like the one we had for PoP month would be great! Scenes we'd like to see You mean like expanded universe? That's a bit vague and would probably only interest the fans. I'd prefer a Recreate-a-scene contest. Quote
-JD- Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 You mean like expanded universe? That's a bit vague and would probably only interest the fans. I'd prefer a Recreate-a-scene contest. No, more like stuff we wanted to see happen, not stuff to add to the story. For instance, Fluffy eating Ron in the first movie. Quote
Oky Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I see, so like a "What If" kind of contest. Interesting idea, but I'd still prefer a Build-a-Scene contest. Another idea would be a "Whacking Snape" contest. Build a scene showing Hogwarts students pulling pranks on the least popular teacher of the school. As for other possible theme months, how about a Ninja Month? I mean, who doesn't like ninjas? We could have it tie in with the release of NinjaGo. There are possibilities for both serious and humorous contests, such as "Build an epic battle scene between ninjas" or "Show ninjas in alternate professions". Quote
CMP Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 As for other possible theme months, how about a Ninja Month? I mean, who doesn't like ninjas? We could have it tie in with the release of NinjaGo. There are possibilities for both serious and humorous contests, such as "Build an epic battle scene between ninjas" or "Show ninjas in alternate professions". It seems for now that Harry Potter is a bit more widespread with fans in this forum, while with NinjaGo, a few people are skeptical. Or maybe it's just me. I'd like a Harry Potter theme month. Most of the things done in PoP month should be done. I like the mash-up sigfig idea, along with the 'recreate a scene' contest. Perhaps a make a new 'make-a-set contest' too? Quote
Nick Wolfe Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Go Harry Potter month!!! Fantastic Idea! There are no words to describe how much I want this month, so I'll use smilies. Quote
