21. Simon Liu’s Room of Requirement Build
Here’s a build from the Harry Potter universe that’s a little difficult to make. That’s because the Room of Requirement doesn’t show up for just any old student. It’s the way Hogwarts helps its students protect the magical safe haven when dark forces threaten peace and prosperity for everyone. Lego builder Simon Liu created this stunning cutaway scene featuring what goes on inside the Come and Go Room.
This is the scene from the final book/film, where Harry and his friends discover an impromptu entrance into Hogwarts after the Death Eaters sealed off all the existing ones. Using the power of discretion and lots of magic, students were able to fashion a new entrance into the Room of Requirement from the Hog’s Head pub in Hogsmeade. We can see Harry triumphantly returning, much to the delight of Dumbledore’s Army (and their owls) look on in delight.
One of the most intriguing parts is the tall ceilings. It gives the impression of a gigantic room, and the high walls and windows look like they go on and on for days. And given that the Room of Requirement changes up based on students needs, it’s not impossible to think that this room could potentially stretch on for a lot longer.
Though Simon says he “rushed” this piece, it still came out looking great. This build works much better as a standalone creation, since it’s a little difficult to create a Room of Requirement we can actually see inside a Hogwarts Castle build.
