The box features some of the elements from the film and has been a real labour of love for me.
The box is covered with the infamous Marauders Map that Harry is given in the third film. The map features individually placed footsteps that are raised up to give a 3D textured effect.
Also on the box are two hand sculpted from clay "Pawprints" - a sign that Sirius Black's has been here !
There are also tell-tale signs of Lupin's existence as the box features very evident claw marks from his "Werewolf" change !!
The front of the box features a gold Hogwarts Crest wax seal moulded from clay.
My whole idea for this box was to imagine it came from the Shrieking Shack. I purposely aged the box using various techniques and tried to 'stretch' the wood as much as possible. By doing this the box may appear to not 'fit' so to speak. This is intentional. The lid closes and is fixed in place by some beautiful gold coloured hinges but as you can see from the pictures the lid may seem to be a bit larger......or smaller.......depending on your view......but this was my concept.....I wanted it to have a 'damaged' and 'stressed' look. I hope you will agree I have done the job.
