Back to Hogwarts: LEGO Set No. 76432 Forbidden Forest Magical Creatures - Part 2 Built-up

This is a nifty set in that it's comprised of five separate modules that one can use all connected or split up as you desire. I didn't do a complete photo essay for each one of these modules because I just wanted the set to get built an on the train layout like ASAP. Essentially, the modules are:

-Baby Thestral

-Tree with large spider web and bat

-Base with Ron and Hermione

-Buckbeak

-Spooky tree with Cornish Pixie ("...Devilish tricky little blighters they can be!")

The five modules can be connected and set up as a ring, taking up less shelf space, or laid out in-line. While I'm not a big fan of the trees I do get it - they're LEGO, and they are what they are. I have some thoughts/budding plans on doing a Magical Forest vignette for next year's train layout but will need some more stuff - specifically model railroading supplies. To be continued (I hope).

In the movie, Hermione feeds Buckbeak dead ferrets, but the LEGO set has her holding a drumstick (hmmm did she make a quick trip to KFC?). Ron looks scared or perplexed - as usual.

“Why spiders? Why couldn’t it be ‘follow the butterflies?'”

Setting the modules up into a nice compact ring.
