I liked that all the kiddos could have a pet! Just all the cats, owls and frogs. But I also thought the thestrals were an inspired creation. 🙂 Thank you for all you share. You are so inspiring. 😊🙏💖

Wow he looks so real. Like a brown recluse. 😮😮

I absolutely loved the hippogriff.

Wonderful! So creative as usual. My favorite creature is a toss up between Hippogriff and Thestral.

this might be my favourite HP diorama so far! the details, the texture, it's amazing, well done!

Absolutely inspired! That is just such a terrific interpretation of the Forbidden Forest - in a matchbox! You got so much detail with the colours, the sand, the dirt and the moss -spooky. As for Aragog, still scary, even matchbox size - great job Chantal!

I find Thestrals fascinating. I would also like to have a Bowtruckle and pet a Mooncalf. And possibly watch an Occamy fly in the sky. And a dragon, any type of dragon. And maybe catch a Nargle, but that might be tricky (:

The Hypogryffs are my favorite HP creatures. You could really use a Buckbeak to go with your Hagrid's Hut ;)

Absolutely loving this one! It’s a close run between this and the Gryffindor common room as favourites 😆 though in the books, Aragog has milky white eyes because he is so, so old, which I think would have been a nice look for him too. Looking forward to the next one!

I love this! It's creepy and looks like a real spider lives in in. You did awesomely with the glue gun and left over halloween spiderwebs to create the spiderwebs. 😍🙌

Thank you!

Love the spider webs! I think the dragons or the thestrals would be my favorite Harry Potter creatures...

Awesome project as always. I love owls, nifflers and thestrals the best. Hard to pick just one.

That's fantastic! And creepy ... Well done! 🕷️

I loved Norbert. Basically any dragon is good in my book. :} This one turned out looking so good. Poor Ron would have Nightmares so real. :}

Getting better and better!!!

The details are as always stunning!!! Love the way the eyes shimmers. My favorite creature is Fawkes the phoenix. Could go on and on why, just because I like the story around phoenixs.

The owls. I love Harry’s owl.

I love this one, you should definitely do a Lord of The Rings series once this one is finished.

I never thought of making a spider web, genius!

I love all your Harry Potter creations so much

Absolutely mind blowing, beautiful work, fabulous diorama

I think this one is my favorite so far. They're all amazing.

Woah! This one is hands down my favorite so far!! You went all out on detail. Fantastic

I was thinking... nah... it won't work, how is she going to pull this off... jaw drop.... This is now my favourite matchbox diorama!! Well done!

haha thanks so much!

This is the most amazing one you did so far I think!

This is my favourite so far, next to the Gryffindor common room.

I work as a docent at our local zoo were I can do "show and tell" with various critters. My favorite is a little girl named Rosie. She is a tarantula and sometimes she goes to sleep in my hand.

I am a big fan of Crookshanks, Hermione's cat. However, I kinda love the Mandrakes too. Nice diorama! Im not a fan of spiders, but you did amazing on Aragog.

Absolutly stunning. Well done 👍

He's creepy and wonderful! This came out so well.🕸🕷

Another awesome build from that imaginative brain of yours! Excellent!

Well done! I like Neville’s boxing cactus and those screaming plants that paralyze you. I hope to do that plant class soon!

All of your dioramas are brilliantly designed and yet you still seem to improve with each one. I love your attention to detail with the soil and tree textures. The cobwebs were genius, you have so much patience! I wish I had found your channel when I was doing a level art since I seem to be learning more techniques from you than with my teacher. Aragog looks so real and the whole diorama is horrifying (in a good spooky way). The thestrals are my favourite, their peaceful behaviour juxtaposed so much with their appearance and reputation for being a bad omen, and the talk Luna had with harry discussing them made it impossible not to love them. Thank you for the video, I can't wait to see what you make next!

Fantastic video, love all your HP matchboxes. Glad to see that you did a shadow box look on this one. The one down side was three sets of ads that interrupted your ten minute video.

AWESOME !!! I think this is one of my favourites so far the webbing was WOW ;) Thanks for sharing ;D

I really loved the dragons 🥺 and the hippogriff 🥺

Amazing job. It is so relaxing to watch you work. Your use of paint is great!

Wow!! Amazing job! It’s perfect!!!! My fave creature is Dobby!

lots of great different textures to look at here 😀

So cool and creative. I love the hot glue webbing. And your Aragog is nice and scary.

Love it! I hate spiders in real life, but fake ones I can handle. This looks so great! Can't wait to see the next one!!

Perfect! And amazing! Love watching you create!!

Started watching the HP Diorama videos today with my two kids, we have enjoyed watching all of them today!! Our favorite magical creatures are Nifflers, unicorns, and pixies!

I had been waiting a long time for this next video,and you did not disappoint! I loved watching you recreate, in miniature, Aragog's lair! It was genius how you made the spiderwebs with hot glue! Wonderful!!! The minute details of the dirt, moss, and sand in the lair are fantastic! Thank you for another magical diorama! You asked which creature I liked in the Harry Potter movies. Well, I liked Dobby the house elf, and that wonderful Hippogryph, Buckbeak. These two are my favorites! I made my own matchbox diorama of the Restricted Section of Hogwarts' Library. It was fun, and I even made a tiny lantern, and a teeny weeny book! Thank you for inspiring me! Stay safe! ~Janet in Canada

I know it’s not an exotic choice, but my Aunt made me a little stuffed owl when I was tiny and that worn and loved pillow shared my bed until it literally disintegrated in my early 20’s, I’ve been obsessed with owls for 50 years. I loved Hedwig - a true Hero!

My favourite HP world creature is the Niffler. And long before I ever saw it in Fantastic Beasts. Back from the time Fred and George levitated them in through Umbridge's window! :)

I was definitely channeling Hagrid's love for Aragog (and all creepy creatures) while watching you build this diorama, I had the biggest heart eyes during the whole video! Spiders are the most perfect combination of creepy and adorable, and you replicated that blend so beautifully in this scene! I love this one so much, its almost painful!

Welcome!!

I’ve always been fond of Thestrals because they are initial creepy, but then when you really think about it there is something so melancholy about them. Imagine not being seen until a person has seen or experienced death...a very sad and heartbreaking experience. Then you’re considered a bad omen.

OMG!! That's amazing!! :)

This is so awesome, I love it!

I'd have to say Hagrid is my most fav. Then Hermione. The was fun to watch you make! I tried making a matchbox but the outside part was to big!!! guess I'll try again soon. lol

Good job! I am TERRIFIED (borderline phobic) of spiders, so this was a bit hard to watch, even the box without the spider was really hard lol which means that you did an amazing job ;D 💜

Now...as a HUGE fan of Lord of The Rings/Hobbit, will you ever create some wonderful dioramas for them? LOTR/Hobbit crafts are hard to find and tend to be the same small things all the time, like the One Ring, flags of Gondor and Rohan, the Elf Leaf broach, Kili's Rune Stone, etc. Would really love to see some dioramas inspired by Tolkien's work. Thank you! :-)

My favorite creatures in Harry Potter were the Thestrals. I though they were both spooky and graceful.

Loved the warning for arachnophobics, you really are into details! Your work is wonderful an so, sooo original. I really think the videos could be a little longer (15 - 20 min) to appreciate it a bit more!

My favorite is Dobby

Brilliant!

I hate spiders, but I love this diorama.

Wonderful

So cool

Casey liked the dragons best in Harry Potter, and my favorite was Buckbeak. :) We liked this matchbox but we're both arachnophobic so we struggled a bit. XD Thanks for adding the warning!
