Read MoreI've often wondered how much of the wizarding world lives in distant fantasy, and how much was real. Not that I believe in magic (maybe), but I know there had to be people trying to turn lead to gold, humans are just like that. Enchantments may not have really done anything, but I like to believe they were attempted in places like this wonderful interior by Cesbrick. And if you don't believe in magic, please explain how those hammers are used for the fireplace.
I love to see builders break out of their normal genres. This wizard from traditionally castle guy floodllama is lovely. The character himself is great, but what really sells this MOC is the use of 1x2 trans plates to great effect, especially above the hand. I can't imagine how fragile that is, but it's amazing.
KA-BOOM!

Excellent work here by Digger1221. I always appreciate a good fireball with corresponding smoke trail. The rest of the build has some great details and wonderful contrast between the Wizard's lab in the basement and the dinning room on the main floor.
