Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 20

Chapter 26

Harry turned, and saw something monstrous cutting through the water towards them: a human body in swimming trunks with the head of a shark … it was Krum. He appeared to have Transfigured himself – but badly.

I had to make many decisions here. My initial idea was to build the platform on the lake and show the four champions when they jump into the water. But since I already built the spectators’ stand (MOC number 4), I didn’t want to build a similar MOC.

 

The next logical step was to do the underwater scene where Harry rescues Ron. I know there is an official LEGO set dealing with this exact scene and I saw it years ago. I was worried to build something too similar to it, but I gave it a try without looking at the set again in order not to refresh my memory.

 

In the book, the “victims” are tied to a statue, in the film they are tied to an arch. Due to the restricted space I decided to go with the arch, though only by including a part of it.

 

I have been asked by James Bailey to show how I edit my pictures when they need flying, gliding or floating objects. I’ll post a link in the comments below to my twitter account where I upload some pictures that will explain the process.
