The View Below

My entry is the view Harry and Ron see when arriving at Hogwarts in their flying car.  They see Hogwarts, the lake (with first years on the boats), Hogsmede station with Hogwarts Express, the carriages taking the rest of the students up to the school, Hagrids Hut, the forbidden forest (with Aragog wandering around inside), the Quidditch pitch and Hogsmede village.  And of course the whomping willow that they are about to crash in to!  In order to fit all these parts in I made this into a mini version, which meant I had to experiment with varying elements to create different detail.  My favourite pieces are the tower made from rolling gate pieces, the Hogwarts Express and Aragog in the forest.
