Hogwarts: The Chamber of secrets with Basilisk

The Basilisk itself contains around 1200 pieces, while the Chamber of secrets is built out of ~10.000 pieces. Together they took me about 19 hours over the course of 9 days to build.

The fifth picture contains the Basilisk taking a nap and Tom Marvolo Riddle‘s Diary destroyed by the Basilisk‘s Tooth (which if you take a closer look is missing in his mouth) as well as the hat that Fawkes dropped there with Godric Gryffindor‘s Sword in it.

The oversized snakehead statues which you can see on the dirty, darkgreen water are mostly inspired by a MOC of „Jared If only I remembered...“ on flickr. I tried my best with building the darknougat colored door that leads to the Chamber of secrets, also building Salazar Slytherin's head was very difficult.

Thank you LEGO for giving me the opportunity to prove myself in picturing my favourite movie scene with LEGO-bricks, good luck to all the other participants and sorry for my as a german guy somewhat bad english!
