The wizarding world and LEGO have imagination in common – combine the two and the possibilities are endless. The remaining teams in LEGO Masters JR. had to channel all of theirs, when tasked with putting a new spin on the Hogwarts houses with their ‘uncommon’ common room creations. Wondered what Hogwarts would look like with a floating hot tub? See for yourselves, in the first of our exclusive sneak peeks…
An ingenious idea for the Hufflepuff common room! The hidden midnight-feast-snack-station? Inspired! It may not look like the common room that we’re familiar with, but with a statement badger and nod to the Hufflepuff trait of loyalty, it certainly captures the spirit of the house.
Airing 1st September on FOX, this episode of LEGO Masters JR. would be brilliant to watch with the kid in your life, embodying the mischief and magic found in the Harry Potter series. Perfectly demonstrated in our second exclusive clip by host, Kelly Osbourne, with her unusual take on the Invisibility Cloak.
Ouch! Looks like Kelly could do with her own LEGO version of the Hospital Wing! Where’s Madam Pomfrey when you need her?
With Kelly at the helm, after a sorting ceremony, the teams of junior LEGO enthusiasts (plus celebrity companions), must use their unlimited supply of bricks to create structures that reflect the unique eccentricity of the wizarding world – secret passageways heavily encouraged.
As the title of the ‘most talented amateur LEGO builder in the US’ is up for grabs, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Brickmasters and judges, Amy Corbett and Boone Langston (season one finalist and LEGO designer) have a tough decision ahead – especially with the final drawing ever closer.
So, what dazzling creations did the teams dream up? Let’s take a look…
Alison Sweeney and team have tapped into the daring nature of Gryffindor house with their bold, scarlet design. Is that a LEGO Harry Potter we spy? We wonder what spell he might be casting…
Jordin Sparks helps the team responsible for bringing their version of the Slytherin common room to life. With snakes, their signature colour palette and stately atmosphere, could they be in with a chance of Slytherin’ into the top spot?
This LEGO build with towers and spiral staircases that seem to stretch up towards the skies – is a fitting reimagination of the common room whose house is represented by an eagle. Plus, we’re pleased to see that the team, including Andy Richter, built a healthy number of bookcases for the Ravenclaws – it is the house of wit and wisdom after all.
We’ve already had an exclusive look at this Hufflepuff home, but once again, we can’t help but marvel at the moving badger statue created by the team and their helper Ravi V. Patel – it’s just like magic.
Coinciding with Back to Hogwarts, one of the most important dates in the wizarding calendar, if you’re in the US, this new episode of LEGO Masters JR. would be a fun way for you and your little one to join in the celebrations.
You can watch LEGO® Masters JR. Monday 1st September (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Or stream the next day on Hulu.
