As many of my fellow Lego enthusiasts are, I to am quite unhappy with the
roof on the Harry Potter set Hagrid's Hut.  So, I spent about an hour or so
this evening (well morning actually) designing a new roof for it.  While i'm
not going to claim that it's the greatest thing, I do believe that it is
much better than the roof supplied with the set.

Pictures can be seen here:

Comments are of course welcomed.

Part list (all in black):
8 4x9 Wings
8 4x6 Plates without Corners
8 1x1 Bricks
8 1x1 Plates
8 2x4 Plates
4 1x6 Plates
16 1x2 Hinge Bottoms
16 1x2 Hinge Tops

There are 86 new pieces total in the roof.  The old roof consisted of 34
pieces, so the roof would have added 52 pieces to the set.  Using an average
of $0.10 per piece, this would have added $5.20 tot he cost of the set.

(...) Great job! And MUCH better than the orgami thingie that the set came with. I knew someone on Lugnet would redo it for us. Kudos! Katie (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.lego.direct)

Superb! A textbook example of why this community needs to have more interaction with TLG so that suggestions like this could made to the mucky-muck's who don't know any better.
