The Statue of Friendship

Through the whole Harry Potter Saga, friendship is one of the most important magics: We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. {Dumbledore, HP4}

The central friendship is that of Harry, Ron and Hermione. Therefore, in celebration of 20 years of Lego Harry Potter, I chose to build a golden statue to honour the golden trio, whose friendship began in their first year, as there are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them. {HP1}

The statue displays the trio climbing up, supporting each other while overcoming various obstacles, represented by thorns and branches. On the opposite side, there are some of the little goodies that accompanied them on their journey - love, chocolate (frog), and, of course, the golden snitch. On the very top of the statue, there is Hedwig, one of my favourite characters of the saga, perched atop a golden number 20, watching over Harry and his friends.
