Great Hall Cross Section

"I think all this merits a good feast. Might I ask you to go and alert the kitchens?" [J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]

said professor Dumbledore to professor McGonagall when he heard Lego Harry Potter is celebrating 20 years.

This cross section gives us a glimpse into the Great Hall of Hogwarts right in the middle of this magnificent feast.

We can see Dumbledore giving a toast, students enjoying delicious dishes prepared by Hogwarts’ house elves, and, in the kitchen, the elves are still preparing puddings. In a corner, there is Dobby chopping some more chocolate needed for the chocolate fountain, while on the stove delicious magical custard is slowly getting ready. In addition to the iconic floating candles, there are also several balloons floating all over the Great Hall.

This model was initially designed to fit a deep frame but was later redesigned so that it is able to stand on a bookshelf on a lego stand, that was specially designed for it.
