TRAIN TIME: Our 2026 Holiday Train Layout Featuring Lionel's LionChief Hogwarts Express and LEGO Harry Potter - Pt 2 The Owlery is Added

Yesterday I built the LEGO Hogwarts Owlery and added it to the layout. What makes this a good fit for this tiny space is that it has a small footprint and the Owlery, as depicted in the movies, is a separate tower away from the main Hogwarts Castle complex. As such, it looks better than the Room Of Requirements I placed in the northwest corner of the layout. That room naturally resides within the walls of Hogwarts itself, however, LEGO chose to make it a separate structure - so I'm using it!! As this layout has turned into a Hogsmeade Village, Forbidden Forest setup do you think I should remove the Room of Requirements all together? If so, what can I replace it with?

Speaking of separate structures, I've been working on the photos for LEGO Hogwarts Express and Hogsmeade Station set. Hopefully I can start that series in the next day or two. Then I'll need to start taking the photos for the Owlery, and lastly Hagrid's Hut (which I haven't built yet). Sooo, plenty of Harry Potter on the way folks.

That corner scenic plot I finished just the other day was made specifically with the Owlery in mind.
