The Influence of 'Potter makes itself felt

Before the happy day when some gen-yoo-ine actual Harry Potter Lego arrived, there was nevertheless a pressing need to express some Dementor related scenarios. So, something got done.

This is put together from some Star Wars lego, with You-Know-Who* getting the "Battle Damage Darth Vader" head.

I particularly like the re-purposing of the Ewok flying machine stand ...


Scene of great ersatz drama.
*Voldemort




Occasionally, out of the maelstrom of smaller items, cobbled together to fit the whim or the theme of the current drama, a bit more time is spent to get a more detailed creation together.

Maybe later I'll pull something together on the key place that the "special pieces" play in the whole enterprise. Nothing though that the marketing bods hadn't already considered, I'm sure...

Quite a complicated number: yes, there is a co-pilot in there.
And I don't know why there's a small racing car on the back.



Troopers, Troopers, Troopers


Arguably the array of Troopers in the Star Wars universe is "pre-bewildered" to borrow from Major Quimby.
They come in the varieties: Storm, Shadow, Clone (Early/Late variants), Snow, Senate, Rocket, Heavy and the list goes on.
Nevertheless, the opportunities are rarely overlooked by the Creator to make the bewildering array even more so.

It's a cop: a StormTrooper cop with an "enhanced" gun.


Handy for getting at those "hard to reach" rebels.
Actually, I'm not sure what purpose the re-breather is serving...
Never caught out by attacks from above.

May have been inspired by the "Bounty Hunter Rockets" red brick.
A Buzz Trooper.

... And yet more 'Droids

Some more strange 'Droids: the flow has only slowed, not stopped.

This one was an ad-hoc creation today: pound for pound, it has quite a high outlandishness rating.

This poor fellow needed quite a lot of help standing up...
And another victim of the rampant Gun inflation; I fear a similar fate as the Sabre toothed tiger awaits.
Though in the event of enemies needing shooting and spearing with a little help this fellow is your man.
I  just can't do this!
