06 - Draco's Detour

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 06

 

Chapter 6 : Draco's Detour

 

The right-hand window was covered with a gigantic poster, purple like those of the Ministry, but emblazoned with flashing yellow letters:

 

Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who?

You SHOULD Be Worrying About

U-NO-POO-

the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!

In which the trio visit Diagon Alley to find it ashen except for Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. They follow Draco secretly to Borgin & Burke and overhear a peculiar conversation between Draco and Mr. Borgin.

This is easily the most fragile, and ridiculous MOC I have ever created! I decided that if I was going to build the Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes store front that I needed to do it right. I tried multiple techniques, starting out with the regular orange windows LEGO released for some Spongebob set, but easily I knew that that was not going to work. I was scrolling through the available parts LEGO has released in orange and came across the minifigure vest. Of course I had none to test out the idea, since this piece is USELESS but luckily my friend Cecilie was drowning in them and didn't mind express shipping me a few dozen of them. I really cant thank her enough for helping out with this one and laughing at my wild ideas! The hat is held up by a stand, which I editted out since it looked better; tried multiple techniques to get the hat to be held up with the arm but the weight of it was too much, ce la vie.
