Caput Draconis
"Password?"
"Caput Draconis."
My iteration of the iconic scene from Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone where Percy introduces the first year Gryffindor's to their common room.
The figures seen are: Percy Weasley, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnegan, Parvati Patil, Padma Patil (I know in the books she's a Ravenclaw) and Lavender Brown.
There's also a print of the Fat Lady who guards the common room from non-Gryffindor students.
The huge staircases and hallways, with stone statues, flaming torches and of course moving paintings are just so quintessentially Hogwarts Castle to me, which all add to why Philosopher's Stone is possibly my favourite of the eight films.
I think this build was even more appropriate as the Fat Lady and the Gryffindor common room first appeared in the original line of Harry Potter sets.
