19. Nick Wolfe’s Three Broomsticks Inn Build
Anyone for a Butterbeer? Why not head down to this wonderful Lego replica of The Three Broomsticks Inn and grab a pint? This design come from Eurobricks member Nick Wolfe, and there’s a lot of explore, both inside and out.
The Three Broomsticks is one of the few locations in the Potterverse that didn’t have a custom set. But it’s also one of the more significant places in the series, as it was the most popular pub in all of Hogsmeade.
First off, the facade of the building looks great, definitely giving it the look of an older stylistic pub. Turning around, we get a good glimpse of what’s going on inside, thanks to the cutaway ‘diorama’ structure Nick built. As we look in further, we see a few members of the Slug Club gathering inside, listening to whatever a drunken Professor Slughorn may be telling them. There was also apparently a brawl that broke out shortly before we got to this scene, as there’s one guy lying in the corner who got socked in the face by a chair. There’s also a wizard battling it out with a dwarf, a scene that can be viewed from the pub’s front window.
To the side we have a back alley, complete with an enormous keg and a few chickens wandering around. And of course, sitting above everyone else in the pub, a trio of broomsticks to remind you where you’re at. After a bit too much butterbeer, plenty of patrons may forget where to pay the tab, so it’s a perfect logo to have.
