Ollivanders and Borgin & Burkes


  I finally finished the Harry Potter Diagon Alley on Chinese New Year of 2012. I made Borgin & Burkes. It has many glow-in-the-darks but very less Lego pieces. The building is mostly black, has a skeleton downstairs, a chimney, a bulletin board for pinning notes and 3 big folding windows. My brother Brandon wanted to make Ollivanders and finished it (mostly with my dad's help). Ollivanders has many windows and of course, wands, wands' boxes, shelves, a ladder, a counter table, 3 owls, a bat, a green and a blue wizards' hats and 2 wand displays. Ollivanders had more Lego pieces than Borgin & Burkes. The building in the middle is the Gringotts Bank. On the right is Ollivanders. Then last the left is Borgin & Burkes. This is a short clip of Harry Potter entering Diagon Alley for the first time (only for 51 seconds).

Diagon Alley Harry Potter Lego

   For my birthday last year, my parents gave me a Harry Potter Lego of Diagon Alley. Instead, I didn't open it on my birthday, I had to open it on December 31st, because I didn't have time(It was almost 2 months before I opened it!). I only made the Gringgots Bank and it had Harry Potter, Rubeus Hagrid and 2 Gringgots goblins. I still hadn't made the Borgin Burkes and Ollivanders. It will look just like this when I finished it:
