25 craziest Harry Potter Lego creations

2. Bigrickmachine’s Time-lapse Animations

This is a fun little series from YouTube user bigrickmachine. Using stop-motion animation and what we can only imagine are a ton of custom Harry Potter Lego sets, this pair of brothers have created wonderful little vignettes, showcasing the best of the best from the book series.

This video above is their take on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Each little scene starts with the chapter titles, giving us a humorous quick playout of the main focus of the story. We’re treated to sweeping overviews of scenes, great use of rack focus from the cameras, and some CG effects where it’s fit! Like with any Lego masterpiece, stop-motion animation is a daunting task. The creator must (carefully) change around the characters in the scene, making them walk, look around, or wave their wands. So we can appreciate all the time and effort put into making these kinds of videos.

Many of the commenters are absolutely delighted to see a Lego video that follows the novels instead of the films, highlighting such scenes as Herminone’s House Elf Liberation Front or Professor Binns discussing the Chamber of Secrets with his class. Though the sets are based off what we saw in the movies, we thought it was a very nice touch either way. There’s a video for each of the first four books, but they’ve also crafted some originally written sketch animations, like Hermione’s Homework or the Secret Santa Special!
