I'm Back!

 After a series of expensive challenges the past few weeks - including losing my PC (it had been giving me grief for some time now and decided to go belly-up last week) - I'll be posting regularly again probably starting tomorrow. I'll leave you with this photo for right now. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Back to Hogwarts: LEGO Set No. 76413 Room of Requirements Pt 10 FINAL Fiendfyre

The last 'figure' included in the LEGO Room of Requirements playset is the Fiendfyre - that devilish snake-like fire dragon conjured up by Vincent Crabbe. The film version is of course much, much larger, but then, so is the Room of Requirements. I haven't explored the possibility of buying parts to expand the beast but here we see it as included in the playset. The Fiendfyre is 6" (15.24cm) L, comes apart, and through the use of additional components, can be positioned at various places along the Room of Requirements walls. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

From Harry Potter Wiki

"Fiendfyre, or the Fiendfyre Curse (Pestis Incendium),[1] was a deadly curse that produced powerful enchanted flames of immense size and heat that were capable of destroying nearly anything and everything in its path, taking the form of gigantic fiery magical beasts such as serpentschimaeras, and dragons that sought out living targets. The extremely volatile and sentient cursed fire spread rapidly, and incinerated nearly everything through mere physical contact. Fiendfyre required extreme skill and intense concentration to control."

The form resembles that of an Asian style serpent dragon - only made out of fire!












As you can see, it really doesn't fir well inside the built-up Room


Extra pins included in the set enable the Fiendfyre to be taken apart and positioned at various places along the Room walls

Back to Hogwarts: LEGO Set No. 76413 Room of Requirements Pt 9 Helena Ravenclaw (The Grey Lady)

Alas, Helena Ravenclaw, the Grey Lady: brutally murdered by the Bloody Baron, her ghost roams the halls of Hogwarts for all eternity. But my mini-fig wanders no further than the tiny LEGO Room of Requirements set up in the house. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Back to Hogwarts: LEGO Set No. 76413 Room of Requirements Pt 8 Blaise Zambini Mini-fig

Blaise Zambini was a new character to the Harry Potter series when the scenes with the Room of Requirements were filmed. Unlike the others, his LEGO figure doesn't have two faces because of his 'high-&-tight' hair style. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Back to Hogwarts: LEGO Set No. 76413 Room of Requirements Pt 7 Draco Malfoy Mini-fig

I really like Draco's look in this movie - that black dress suit is very stylish and of course harkens back to the 'villains always wear black' tradition. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
