IMPORTANT NOTES:

Remember to use my printout provided as a pdf. The document is obviously based on my measurements given the measurements of my suitcase base, but I'd be happy to edit the printouts to fit whatever scale you need personally. This tutorial is quite photo heavy so make sure you click "show more photos" to see all the instructions.

Hey my Potter-babies! 2016 was quite the year as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came out. I went to the theater with my cousin and watched it on opening night fully decked out in my Ravenclaw outfit and my Fantastic beasts book copy in hand. At 11.45 when the movie was finished we had to spend a good 30 minutes just discussing the events of the movie with various gleeful squeals, and when I got home, I accidentally spent 2 more hours reading the Fantastic Beasts book over and over and already longing for the sequel.

I loved most things about the movie, but being a sucker for props I was instantly drawn to Newt's suitcase in the "muggle mode". Just finding the location of the map shown in the movie took weeks, but oh was it worth it! I made this miniature as a christmas tree ornament for my cousin that year, but didn't end up posting the photos at that time. But, today's the day!

After watching the Crimes of Grindelwald I'm working on adding some projects based on the new movie as well, but that's a future surprise... In the mean time, enjoy!
