Hogwarts: Gringotts Bank

Here is Gringotts grand marble lobby ready to house the goblins that work so very hard to protect the valuables located one mile below them in the vault.  Gringotts was created by a goblin named Gringott in 1474.  It stores money and other valuables for witches and wizards and is located on the north side of Diagon Alley in London, England.  The goblins that protect the valuables are extremely greedy and protect money and valuables at any cost; they also abide by a strict code that forbids them to speak of any bank secrets.

When you walk through the front doors you enter the marble lobby which is adorned with chandeliers, inlaid floors, counters that have scales to weigh valuables, and bells to ring to get service from the ever busy goblins.   

I absolutely love this place in the Harry Potter world!!  It is beyond beautiful in person as well.  This was a real treat to be able to build something that pertains to this magical world!!
