15. Mr. Xenomurphy’s Hall of Prophecy Build
When exploring the Potterverse, nothing is seemingly off-limits. If you’re patient enough, you’ll find out all the information you need in order to get by. Harry and his friends have had to learn this lesson, especially after entering the Department of Mysteries inside the Ministry of Magic. Lego Creator Mr. Xenomurphy took a page out of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and recreated the Hall of Prophecies, where Harry learns even more information about how to defeat the Dark Lord.
The movie scene is almost monochromatic, since each prophecy inside the great hall gives off a haunting bluish-glow. Mr. Xenomurphy took things a step further in his design. Not only did he create shelves that stack eleven stories high, he added a feature that only works after turning down all the lights.
Flick a switch, and the eerie blue light begins to emanate from each one of the prophecy orbs. It’s a really nice touch that pays a stunning homage to the fifth film. Standing in between the trio of orb towers are Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Lucius Malfoy, Death Eater extraordinaire. We don’t get to see it in Lego form, but all these orbs get smashed to the ground when the Hogwarts students have an all-and-out battle when even more Death Eaters show up.
According to the creator, this was the first Harry Potter related Lego build he’s ever done, and it’s safe to say he pretty much nailed it. It’s also of a rare site, one that’s not readily available in most sets. Well done.
