Exit From 12 Grimmauld Place

The scene I recreated here is the one from The Order of the Phoenix, when Harry and friends leave 12 Grimmauld Place to return to Hogwarts on the Knight Bus after the winter break. In the model, I've included a street of the apartment houses that make up Grimmauld Place; although they are repetitive left to right to match their in-universe appearance, the techniques used to construct the brick wall detailing, window offset, and doors are quite complex (particularly for the ground floor) using various bracket pieces and studs-on-the-side construction to achieve the look of the building. The street in front is built entirely with sideways bricks and headlight bricks with tiles to create an indented effect of an old brick road, and the lamp posts are, curiously enough, upside down until the top. The Knight bus has an upside down base, which was an interesting but fun challenge. Tonks and Lupin are depicted as Harry's escorts to Hogwarts, along with Harry himself ready to return to school.
