This is truly amazing yes I have been so many many many times as my mother works for universal studios Florida
Mom has made so many costumes etc including, monsters and King Kong etc etc Spider-Man’s throughout both parks.
she made so many things in both Harry Potter parks including Hermione dresses , Gingots goblin in the banks Outfit, she paints the inside of the dragon every so often because it burns and gets black after he roars the fire , it is amazing she made 375 of the curtains throughout both parks Diagon alley , out in “London” and Hogsmede, she distressed suitcases and so many other items to make them look old and weathered. She has also made the inside cushions of the trains that goes from one park to the other (HP) she just went back to work and is so thrilled to be working on Hedwig. She and her team have been recognized for so much including putting cushions on the Hagrids ride so no one gets hurt as it was a bit of an issue in the beginning but no loner is 😃
I am so very proud of her !!!!! you have to go you WILLL fall in LOVE with the both sides of HP Wizarding World!!!! every time I go I love it more I want to move to there !!! Your video has given me inspiration just to keep it real because I am in New York. please stay safe I love your videos. Use whatever colors u feel make it all HP !!!
Wow Jenny, that's truly impressive! Your mom is one creative lady! Thanks so much for watching and liking my creations, this is exactly why I am here!
That’s awesome! Lucky you! 😁
The stained glass window and lanterns are wonderful xx

Another amazing scene. I like the darker colors, I think they fit more with the Harry Potter aesthetic.

Your dioramas are freaking adorable!!!!

Super cute tiny sorting hat! I really enjoy seeing you use watercolour on the matchbox dioramas 💜
Thank you! 😊
Another Great Build!

Such a fascinating diorama masterpiece!🌿 muted earthy tone colors make the Great Hall look cozy and inviting. The depth illusion looks wonderful!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@RavensMinis My pleasure! 🌷
I think it is great. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!
You are such an awesome artist! I love your work!
Thank you so much 😀
So much to love here! The muted colors are perfect and you did an amazing job at perspective to give the illusion of more depth. The Sorting Hat was the perfect focal point.
Thank you so much!
Really dig these! Great builds!
Glad you like them!
Amazing as always
Thank you!
I am SO loving this series. Your work is terrific!
Glad you enjoy it!

You make it look so easy and effortless! I bet it isn’t, but I am learning a lot from you! Thank you for sharing. 🙏☺️
I love it so cool
thanks!
You are amazingly talented...I found your channel last night and I've been binging ever since ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! And welcome here!
Amazing, just what I needed. INSPERATION! I have a old chapel in Cornwall UK, I have slowly been working on for years to make a small attraction full of miniature magic, its been very slow prosess , but you have put some fire in my belly to get things going with your amazing work THANK YOU
You can do it! Thanks so much for watching!
Just love you creativity!
I have never been to Florida. But I do have all the books and the movies. I really love these videos I am so happy that I found them 🙂
Glad you like them!
Crazy good yet again!
Love it!!! Amazing details (as always)
Thanks so much!
We live in Florida and are big fans of Harry Potter books and movies so yeah, been to Universal Studio's Harry Potter Wizarding World a few times. Most often for my oldest son's birthday (he's in his 20's lol). It is a lot of fun. You would love it. You are doing a great job with these dioramas! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Thanks so much for your support!
I wanted to like this video several times
Argh, that's so cute!! I was doing something completely different when I suddenly had that 'DING' moment when I realised there might be another of these HP matchboxes out today and had to run for the laptop. Yays, so awesome! Even though I knew what was coming when you opened the trunk to pick a prompt, I swear, all those rolled parchments STILL made me squeal with delight. I thought the painting on this one was amazing, and I think the arched window in the background came out so delightful, it really brought a sense of depth to the piece, especially with the banners hanging, and that fabulous stool and sorting hat. And I loved the addition of the house counters in the background, I clapped my hands when you started colouring those.
BTW, I don't think you should be too bothered by the subdued pallet you've chosen so far for these, it works really well, and no doubt there will be prompts that demand a little more colour naturally anyway- especially of you included the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, lols. I am THRILLED that Hagrids Hut will be done in 1:12th, I cannot wait to see that. And I'm crossing my fingers that one of those prompt scrolls (eeeee!!!) is the Chamber of Secrets, and that it will come up soon. Or Grimmauld Place! Or Borgin and Burkes! Oh man, I am loving this series, and I already cannot wait for the next one! Thanks so much for making these!
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. I am glad you like the scrolls. They are a treat to open! I'm really excited to create Hagrid's hut next month. There will even be a live stream in between part 1 and 2 of the Hagrid's hut videos :D All the places you mentioned are on the scrolls in the box... which one shall it be! Oh the anticipation! haha
This so cool I love your Harry Potter stuff
Thank you! Me too hehe
Super cute once again! That background is amazing and you made the sorting hat look so spot on! I love the 3D details that come into the foreground. I was thinking maybe hanging the baskets with eyepins and thread or a thin chain would make them more dangly btw 🤔 I plan making a swing in circa this scale so I'm facing a similar struggle lol
Good luck! It is so tiny
Love everything! Your attention to detail always amazes me!
Thank you so much! I love adding those tiny details
I love this! I’m working on a Harry Potter book nook at the moment so this series is definitely some added inspiration ☺️
Oh would love to see your HP book nook!
Darkest Raven Designs I’ll post it when it’s done!
Ooo my favorite part so far has been the stool, the sorting hat, and the banners. I like how the doors open and close.
Maybe next time you’ll pull a scroll for one the dormitories!
I’d love to hear more about how you chose the watercolor set that you mixed.
Hi Becky! The watercolors are interesting... There is a watercolor set that is called Shadow black by boku undo (a Japanese brand) I ordered these but BEFORE I received them I thought: What the heck, I can make this myself. I had only 4 tubes of the professional W&N watercolors, blue, yellow, red and black. And I mixed all colors myself with those 4 tubes, using black in every color.
Oh man ther are so manny new videos out alreddy!!! I´m so sorry for not beeing here that often. there is just so mutch going on right now. Annyway, I love your little creation and how the video is put together. Awesome as always.
So wonderfully cute
You are AMAZING!
Awesome detail!
Was hoping to see how you would do the Floating Candles! A bit tricky, I imagine!
Great job! Have a better day!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos
Yay! Thank you! And welcome here!
Just found your channel and I love it! Amazing work!
Thank you so much!
Hello Darkest Raven I am a new friend and I truly love your channel all your art is truly amazing.
Thank you Jason and welcome to my channel!!
i love the background painting of the books .. my fav part is definitely the hate though.. so tiny lol..
The matchbook dioramas are adorable. I'm hoping you do the Hogwarts House common rooms. =D
They will be in there! Also will make them in 1/12 scale next year.
this came out so well ❤
Thank you!
I LOVE it!!!!! Oooh,....... How do you get into Hogwarts? Through the 'Dumble-Doors' LOL :D I've been to Leavesden/Warner Brothers Studio in Watford, England as a V.I.P. guest. I met and chatted to Margot Robbie :D The Harry Potter studios are beyond amazing!!!!
HAH that made me giggle.... how is your Ollivanders going?
Amazing!
I enjoyed watching you create this diorama of the great hall. I love watching you work on your projects. It all seems magical! I was wondering, will you be creating a diorama of the school library's restricted section? I would like to see that! I used to work in our local library, and love books! ~Janet in Canada
I'm pretty sure it is one of the prompts in the box but I'm not sure!
Looks great! I wish you added the floating candles somehow!
Next time! In the larger diorama
I love these! Im a slytherin too 🥰🐍
I live in Florida, wizard world is pretty cool. Best part is there is a thousand kids wearing wizard robes they just bought so it really feels like you're in Diagon Alley. side note I work in restaurants, I read a hospitality magazine like a year after they opened said they hade made some ridiculous amount like 25 million on Butter beer since they opened. probably same amount on robes and wands. i would bet
That sounds really magical! And that is indeed a ridiculous amount, but not surprising I suppose. Thanks for your support!
I have been to Orlando’s Harry Potter World, it was grand☺️
Gonna try to get thru all these tonight if I don't finish I'll do it tomorrow.ive watched like 98% of Ara's Bentley House minis videos.i really like the tiny stuff. Soo soo tiny love it. I just acrylic paint. And I just started doing it again after stopping for almost 3 years. I forgotten how much I hate painting clouds 😂😂😂
Magical! I love this series. :) I have not been to (the muggle version of) the wizarding world. I think it would be nice to see it, but there would be way too many people for my taste, so I don't think I'll ever go.
Haha same, but it would be so so inspirational!
Absolutely brilliant!!! Have you thought about including a copy of your pencil sketch since not all of us have been to a Harry Potter theme park. Then we can paint or color as wanted!
Thanks and thank you for the suggestion! I'll have a look into working back and creating the backgrounds so people can perhaps print them.
Beautifully done Chantal. My sister has been to visit the Harry Potter World in London and she said it was magical - was that the one you meant? There are probably loads round the world and nearer to you!
Any park really. Would like to visit one or all!! I know there is one in HongKong but I'd rather go to London or USA.
The background painting is beautiful, and I think the muted color palette is accurate for these locations. As a small criticism, I feel that the 3D elements in this scene (the sorting hat, banners, and lanterns) were a little too large for the scale of the background. I absolutely love the teeny tiny cauldron you made for the Three Broomsticks, and I feel like that scale is a bit more accurate (although I completely understand that it is very difficult to work at that scale). I went to Harry Potter World as part of my high school senior trip, it was great and lots of fun! Definitely go if you get the chance! Can't wait for the next scene :)
Thanks! It is soooo tiny that I have to implement some creative liberties 😄
Oh one day I will visit one of the wizarding worlds, I can't wait!
It's Cool👍👍👍😉I Love it. 😁💖
Thanks 😆
Hi I LOVE these mini H P diorama's ;) May be you could have used gold on the flags instead of black though ;) Thanks for sharing ;D
Doh! Why didn't I think of that?! I think at that point I put so much detail in that I just didn't think of it.
I love it
Another masterpiece. I’m enjoying this series immensely, I actually get excited when I see the notification. 🥳🥳 I do have one question what glue are you using? Glue is my biggest problem, I can’t seem to get the right glue for my craft, super glue is my nemesis ugh.
I made some wands for a grand niece who is 10 years old, I was telling my daughter that she liked Gryffindor. So my daughter said “ you that you do a quiz to see what house your in, you don’t pick” and I said I know that dad and I did the quiz. Dad is Slytherin and I’m Hufflepuff. She was amazed then I told i knitted scarves for dad and I and sent her photos of wearing the scarves. Her reply was “ you two are ready for the nursing home now” just because we’re 70! anyway it’s the grandchildren’s fault they keep asking me to make them Harry Potter thinks now we’re hooked.☺️☺️😂😂😂😂🤪🤪
Thanks so much! I'm using UHU all purpose adhesive. If it helps there is a link to my Amazon Storefront in the description box of the video, or got to www.amazon.com/shop/darkestravendesigns. There you'll find all the materials I use for my dioramas and products I love using.
Gotta love anything Harry Potter, no matter your age!!
tiny but looks like a big space :)
I would love to go to Harry Potter world, are you talking about the one in Universal Studios in LA? I was there when they were in the middle of building that one and got to see a little bit in person but I would love to go back. These are so cute and very brilliantly created. I enjoy this series very muchly 😍😍🙌
Any Wizarding world park really. Would love to visit any,... or all! Glad you're enjoying the series!
My son and I were at Universal's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter earlier this year. I was wonderful! You really need to go. Of course, since I am binge watching your videos in order, you may have already gone. I truly hope so.
We live in Australia and I've never been. Right now we don't have the financial means to go (flights/accommodation/park entrance) unless I get a serious sponsor haha
@@RavensMinis Well if I win the lottery, I will send the whole family. Of course, since I don't play the lottery, that may be a problem. 😁
@@karengates7154 One day we'll be able to go!
I've been to the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Leavesden :D So I actually visited the real Grand Hall....
I just found your channel and it is awesome. Love the Harry Potter matchbox. I am trying to find one making the out side of the castle. And my daughters favorite is griffendor and I couldn't find the match box for Griffendors commons area. If you made one let me know. All of your Harry Potter match box I have been making for my daughter and those are the 2 I have not found that I know she would like

Omg if you dont keep I would buy
Thanks so much! I might do that at the VERY end of the series, which isn't until 2024
No need to add more colour I love your art. But might be a fun challenge!
Beautiful amazing work. But the House points counters are in the front hallway outside the Great Hall, not inside.
In the book they are, in the movie they are behind the table
@@RavensMinis Given that the movies greatly diminished the books, I think the books are definitive!
@@snowysnowyriver sometimes I go for the book version, sometimes I go for the movie version.
Wizard World is another money put like Diesny
you've been lazy with this one... you would have make the relief around the double door with some layered cardboard to get more depth perception. and also you messed up with ratio among objects at this one.
