Light Kit for Gryffindor House Banner #76409

A fire that never quite goes out

Gryffindor's common room is the one the books spend the most time in, and almost all of that time is spent around the fire. The Fat Lady guards the entrance, the armchairs are worn, and the windows look out over the grounds toward the lake. The house values courage, which in practice means the room is full of people who have decided that rules are negotiable — a detail the films handle by making the room the warmest set in the castle.

The hat's first verse

“You might belong in Gryffindor, / Where dwell the brave at heart, / Their daring, nerve and chivalry / Set Gryffindors apart.” Four lines, and the house never gets a better description. The lion and the red field on this banner come straight from that verse, and the common room behind it is the one the trio spend most of their evenings in.

House 76409 Gryffindor's banner folds from a red crest with the lion at the centre into a common room with a fireplace, two armchairs, a rug, a window and the house's display shelf. The crest side is flat enough to hang, and the interior side has enough depth to read as a small room rather than a backdrop. The two halves meet on a hinge that also carries the shelf, so nothing has to be removed to open it.

Third party lighting kit ZENE Bricks splits the lego lighting along the same line as the build. The crest takes a soft, even wash that keeps the red rich instead of pushing it orange; the common room gets a warm, slightly flickering fire, a cooler window, and a low shelf lamp. The fire dominates, which is what makes the room feel inhabited. The engaging effect is a window with a fire behind it rather than a light on a wall.

A flat cable crosses the hinge, so the banner closes without unplugging. Hung with the other three houses, it is the warmest of the set. Of the harry potter lego sets designed to hang, these banners are the easiest way to put a lit castle on a staircase wall; a small light kit is all they need.
