Where It All Began - The Cupboard Under the Stairs

The cupboard under the stairs! When LEGO announced that they would hold a contest to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter, the first image that came to mind was Harry's cramped bedroom from Book One, The Philosopher's Stone. This is the first time we see Harry, and it's hard not to feel sorry for the poor boy, who is oppressively locked in a claustrophobic cupboard. The reason I chose this scene to build is because it's the first shot where Harry Potter is the focal element. I wanted to build something simple - a small pocket-sized build that could sit on a mantelpiece, a friend to various other LEGO builds. As this is a relatively small build, I do not know the overall piece count of it's contents. I wanted to present my build in the best possible way, so this meant turning to the 3d, open source, software: Blender

Overall I'm very happy with the look of this build - I hope others will like it too!
