25 craziest Harry Potter Lego creations

4. Jared Rosenblitt’s Gringott’s Bank Build

YouTube channel Beyond the Brick took some time out at Brickfair Virginia 2016, to ask Jared Rosenblitt about his custom creation of Gringott’s Bank from The Deathly Hallows. What we see is a faithful recreation from the sequence in Part II when Harry, Ron, and Hermione grab ahold of Griphook the Gremlin and burst out of the impenetrable Wizarding bank, not only with a horcrux in tow, but riding on a freakin’ dragon. Rosenblitt, who is from Toronto, said he was disappointed with the lack of Harry Potter MOCs, so he took it upon himself to make his own.

It first started with the dragon. The wings are actually sails from the Star Wars Imperial Flagship set, but fit perfectly as the delicate yet powerful dragon wings. He liked the look so much, he decided to perch it upon a custom built Gringott’s Bank.

One of the focal points of the wizarding bank is its uneven pillars, which Rosenblitt captured to a tee. “I have to go all the way, or it’s not worth doing,” he says. There’s also a few pieces of other Diagon Alley shops that can be added or taken away, depending on whichever mood you’re in.

Rosenblitt also mentioned a project he and his friends from all over the globe were assembling. It’s a challenge to create different scenelets from the Harry Potter books every single day for 30 days. He says it’s to show the younger generation of Lego builders that you can make extraordinary scenes with just a handful of bricks.
