Before beginning to build, I try out many options for how I might lay out the scene through sketching. Whether they are drawn on paper or on my iPad, the sketches\u00a0help me prototype the house without using any power tools or lumber. \u00a0I love this part of the development phase. \u00a0Below are several sketches showing the evolution of some of the ideas.<\/p>\n

These sketches helped me come up with the final design.\"Halloween<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, I explored several options along the way\u2014everything from a Diagon Alley\/Hogsmeade line of shops with the Hogwarts Express at the end to turning the whole front yard into Dumbledore’s office.<\/p>\n

For the last few years, Grace has joined in to the ideation effort, contributing her own sketch for the house. \u00a0Can you see the different magical features from Harry Potter’s world that she incorporated into the her\u00a0drawing?<\/p>\n
