Luna and the Thestral

Since the Great Hall set includes the boat that Harry and friends travelled to Hogwarts in during the Philosophers Stone, the Whomping Willow set has already been made, and the Dementors are included in the Hogwarts Express set, we decided to approach the first time Luna is introduced in the Order of the Phoenix and Harry can see the Thestrals pulling the carriage for the first time now that he has seen death.

We built Hogsmeade station and a small replica of the Hogwarts gates, which the carriage will approach. The Thestral is made from many pieces of a Batman set, including its wings, to give it the reptilian, skeletal look that JK Rowling describes. The carriage has space for four characters: we included Harry, Ron, Hermione and Luna who they meet on the train for the first time that day. 

The Thestral is all black except for its white eyes standing out.
