 | | Harry Potter chess knights
|
|
So I saw the movie, and noticed that the only scene that has knights in it, is the one with the life-size chessboard at towards the end. I'm bringing it up because I find it intolerably lame of TLC to only include a knight with the big Howarts set, (...) (23 years ago, 20-Nov-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

HP castle is GBP£80 in UK, making the Irish one at IRL£80 a real bargain for us (I know, I bought one at Smyths in October). Just for info, if anyone is going to Calais before Christmas the Carrefour supermarket has the castle in stock for approx (...)

(...) Personally, I'm not so much put out by the color as the design. As a MOC builder, sure, I'd like to see the "regular" colors, but I recognize the value in some irregular colors. But the real problem is design. I always build rather rushedly. (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) I agree, only I would go even further and suggest one try to imagine what it would look like through the eyes of a ten year old girl. Girls are as big Harry Potter fans as boys are, and LEGO traditionally has had more of a following among boys (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) I am 33 years old. But my little kid brain is only about 9 or 10. I see things like movies and books and toys through the eyes attached to this brain. I've read the Harry Potter books and loved them. I will likely read them again sometime. (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
