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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />The latest masterpiece from Bridget, from Los Angeles, is a tiny Hogwarts Great Hall from Harry Potter.<br /><br />The scene is just 90cm tall, 60cm wide and 63cm deep.<br /><br />It even includes a tiny festive feast with cutlery - and even the iconic floating candles seen in the films.<br /><br />Bridget, whose full-time job is making miniature art, said: "I’m a Harry Potter fan and I watch the movies every year.<br /><br />"I wanted to make something festive for my followers to look at they - they are also big Harry Potter fans. <br /><br />"I definitely enjoy making all of these miniature scenes - especially when I've just watched the movie.<br /><br />"Something about looking at miniatures is very magical."<br /><br />Bridget's structure is made of wood, but also features different types of plastic sheet that look like stone, for the floors and walls.<br /><br />The tables are made of wood and the tiny foods - including fruits, cake and a tiny turkey - are polymer clay.<br /><br />She added: "There are small boar heads on drink pitchers on the table just like in the real film.<br /><br />"I couldn’t find those anywhere, so they had to be digitally drawn and 3-D printed."<br /><br />Bridget even had to go to a specialist model shop to find the smallest lightbulbs there are, so the scene would come to life.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />"The lightbulbs measure under a millimeter."
