If you weren't able to make it to Emerald City Comic Con, then you missed the awesome LEGO Hogwarts that was built by Alice Finch. This thing took a year to build, and then had to be taken apart and sectioned in order to be brought to ECCC. It took six minivans to transport it, and three hours to get everything back in place. That's 400,000 LEGO bricks, over 250 minifigures, and no glue. Check out the video after the jump that shows off the reconstruction, and just how how LEGO Hogwarts is.

Although author J.K. Rowling put the Harry Potter saga to rest this past July, she is still shocking devotees of the series with secrets to this day. At a reading Friday night in New York’s Carnegie Hall, Rowling was asked if Albus Dumbledore finds true love. She then revealed a juicy tidbit now ringing throughout the world: “Dumbledore is gay”.
Those who have read between the lines may have suspected this all along. Rowling equated Dumbledore’s affections for wizard Gellert Grindelwald as his ‘great tragedy’. The Hogwarts Headmaster, devastated by Grindelwald’s attraction to the dark side, later went on to defeat his rival.
Confusion about Dumbledore’s sexuality preference almost became an issue in the upcoming big screen installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Rowling made sure director David Yates remove a reference about Albus’ past loves from the adapted script.

Rowling for the right to build a life-sized replica of the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry in their country. The Delhi High Court threw out Rowling’s claim that the building would be a copyright infringement, giving builders the go-ahead on the huge project.

Hogwarts’ exterior will be completely replicated, even featuring an imitation marble staircase and stone floor in the entrance hall, which will be lit by flaming torches.
