Enlarged Dining Hall Hogwarts Castle Lego Harry Potter set 4842

Having build this very nice set I thought de dining hall was a bit too small.
I started to make it larger and wanted to build a wall around it. Thinking of nice feature of the modular system in this set (making it possible to arrange the castle in different options) I wanted this wall in accordance to this system.

I’ve come up with a wall hinged on various sites, making it possible to change the wall very quick. Also, the roof is detachable. In this way you can imagine the magic of the dining room where you can see the sky through the roof.

Off course I haven’t forgotten the prominent appearance of the owls in this part of the castle.

Overall I liked the building experience and I think it is a fun addition for playing. I’ve tried to keep it as close to the overall appearance of the original Lego set.

In the pictures you can see different angles and views of the enlarged dining room. The first view shows the complete castle from different angles. 
I have build it on the inside (and reversed) lid of a plastic box, that I use to keep the set dust free.

The next couple of pictures show the Enlarged Dining Hall set apart from the set. You can see it in different angles and eventually also without roof, where you can see the different owls.

The last couple of pics show the combination of the wall attached to one site of the Dining Hall showing the different options ‘unfolding’ the walls.
