Harry Potter computer room

[Guest]

My big brother just moved out last week to melbourne and with him went all his jazz music and PC games that I had grown accustomed to seeing everywhere, whether it was on the floor or littering the computer desk. Now that hes gone I decided to convert this music/computer room into one room dedicated to Harry Potter. So I went out and bought the HP wizard's chess set, some posters and got decorating. Took me a good solid 6 hours but its mostly complete. Ive taken some photos to share as I thought you may all be interested to see how its turned out.  Ive also placed the Harry Potter standee in a corner and as you may be able to spy, I created two bookends using my Philosopher's stone card boxes.  All of my Harry Potter stuff is all packed up in my room so that is why I chose to go out and buy some things and display them so that Harry Potter goodness can be shared by the whole family. 
Im still waiting on a Half Blood Prince poster that a local bookstore has kindly offered me but for now Im well pleased with how its progressing. Well enjoy the pics (sorry if they're a bit rubbish) and let me know what you think.

Updated with new pic. Took my spare cards and decided to put them up on the wall.

That looks cool.    How did you attach the screwdown cases to the wall?

Thanks for the comments McG and Kelly. Really appreciated. 
I used Blu-tack to secure the screwdowns onto the wall. Just a little on each corner. I was a little worried they wouldn't stick but they seem to be doing alright.

Very cool

I'd probably need two rooms for all the junk I have

[ArwenEvenstar]

Hehe I know what you mean Mike.
99% of my Potter stuff is stored in my room and I seriously just have no where else to put anymore...but that so far hasnt stopped me from buying more. 
Im going out today to look for the Goblet of Fire poster book and also a theatrical poster of the Philosopher's Stone, hopefully I'll have some luck.
On my travels I have found a few things Id love to put into a giveaway so watch this space.

I have no room at the moment but I want to have a poster from every movie and also the posters from the books (missing poster and book from SS and CoS and missing a poster from PoA and GoF , not a great head start ). Most of the stuff I have is stuff I found just shifting through loads of stuff at the store

[ArwenEvenstar]

Man was today tiring. After going to 3 shopping centers I finally found the Goblet of Fire movie poster book. Also managed to get a COS theatrical poster and the bookstore called and told me they found some HBP stuff for me. It turned out better than a poster...its a big cutout of Harry and Dumbledore from the cover of the book. I also got another 2 cutouts and a large A3 sized box that features the cover, spine and backing of the HBP novel. So the room is updated and I'll take some more pics in the morning.
the final thing I need is a Philosopher's Stone poster which I'll be hunting down in the next few days

As promised here are a couple more photos.

What's on the floor?  Is it a stand up?  I can't judge the size. 

[ArwenEvenstar]

Kelly, its a wall hanger, kind of like a mobile as there is a small hole at the top for which it can hang from the ceiling. Its about 23 inches high and 30 inches across. Im just going to stick it to the wall though.
My Dad picked up my SS poster today. It's really nice, but different to how I imagined. It looks like this:

That's actually my favorite SS poster.    I like it better than the owl.

[ArwenEvenstar]

Yeah it is really cool, I like it much more now than I initially did.  So this is it the final picture of where the poster is situated and my HP room is done! In the end I feel it looks really nice, and my parents seem to really like it as well. The only problem is Im always tempted to buy more to add to it. 



And here's one of the chess set. (This one is not the noble one as Im sure you can tell, but I have the Noble one also).
