An artist spent a YEAR recreating the iconic Great Hall scene from Harry Potter in miniature - but it's so realistic you'd think it was straight from the film.

Bridget McCarty, 38, creates miniature film sets out of wood, plastic and clay - and has recreated everything from the set from Friends to a tiny Stranger Things.

The latest masterpiece from Bridget, from Los Angeles, is a tiny Hogwarts Great Hall from Harry Potter.

The scene is just 90cm tall, 60cm wide and 63cm deep.

It even includes a tiny festive feast with cutlery - and even the iconic floating candles seen in the films.

Bridget, whose full-time job is making miniature art, said: "I’m a Harry Potter fan and I watch the movies every year."

"I wanted to make something festive for my followers to look at they - they are also big Harry Potter fans."



"I definitely enjoy making all of these miniature scenes - especially when I've just watched the movie."

"Something about looking at miniatures is very magical."

Bridget's structure is made of wood, but also features different types of plastic sheet that look like stone, for the floors and walls.

The tables are made of wood and the tiny foods - including fruits, cake and a tiny turkey - are polymer clay.

She added: "There are small boar heads on drink pitchers on the table just like in the real film."

"I couldn’t find those anywhere, so they had to be digitally drawn and 3-D printed."

Bridget even had to go to a specialist model shop to find the smallest lightbulbs there are, so the scene would come to life.

She said: "The floating candles were very difficult because I had to look at various model shops until I finally found one that made a tiny lightbulb with a long wire."

"The lightbulbs measure under a millimeter."
