Effectivement, c'est toujours sympa d'avoir des commentaires des designers. Encore plus quand ils commentent un peu le processus de création ou les choix opérés. C'était très intéressant, merci à toi pour ce partage!
Mark est revenu répondre sur eurobrick: voici ces reponses (je souligne les choses importantes)

More questions - so a few more answers.
"Are you a harry potter fan? And did you work on an other project from the wave of HP?"
Yes, though I am also a Star Wars, Marvel, DC, LotRs, Destiny, Narnia, Overwatch, Portal, Anime, Dungeons and Dragons and Sci-fi fan to higher or similar extents, so it's very rare I'm not excited by what I'm working on! I built a lot of sketch models of all kinds of parts of Hogwarts when we started this theme, I got a bit obsessed with it, but this is the only set I got to be final designer of. I hope we do more in future and I get to do more!
"Is Voldemort on the back of quirrel’s head ?"
I won't give spoilers, so you'll have to wait and see.
"Dumbledore was clearly some pre-version of the Michael Gambon actor. Was this changed in process because you wanted a parts 1&2 setting? or was the one from the toy fair really just a placeholder?"
The toy fair figures are all half finished stand ins, only look at the press release figures. We based these sets on movies 1 and 2 with a few bits from 3 added for flavour, it is Dumbledore, which actor we don't like to
"- How did you choose to make "child variants" of the kids? Was it to save space or to reach another audience (because they look soooo adorable!)?"
This was a huge discussion in the design team- some of us wanted full sized legs, others wanted kids legs as in the first couple of movies they were definitely kids. And it was not to save space or anything, it actually introduced all kinds of challenges about how to let them 'sit' at tables and in seats and things. (I almost talked about other sets there... sneaky fans!)
"Would they not also have had an issue with the fact that the student protagonists are unable to “sit” down because of the short legs?"
Yes. This was part of our big discussion. In the end I found a way to make the benches so when they are in the set they give the impression of sitting, it satisfied most of the kids.
"Why the basilsk?"
Play. The only antagonist in the set is Quirrel. If the kid wants to play fight conflict but also want to keep Quirrel's secret from harry there needed to be a 'bad guy' and the Basilisk provided this. I built a ton of Chima sets, this is not my proudest animal build! But it is great play for kids.
"I'm starting to hope that you will be working on the next true Castle theme."
True castle theme eh? You could be waiting as long as the space theme fans!
"Aren't you guys meant to be the last line of defense against things like this, it is lego's product. Who stands up for the consumer?"
The product is ours and I'll fight for the best building and play experience I can every day, I'll do my best to make this an excellent toy. But the characters and setting belong to the creators and franchise holders. If JKR says Quirrel should be in black school robes like the other teachers then Quirrel is in black.
Although on many occasions we do stand up for the consumer please don't think this is our responsibility, we aim to please and make an excellent product, and I want my work to be loved and appreciated, but it is not our duty, it is only our honour that keeps us doing so. At the end of the day we are a company, our priority will always be to make money for our owners. As consumers we all have to stand up for ourselves, let LEGO know if something is not good enough, if we make mistakes tell us. Keep us on our toes. Keep all companies on their toes, remind them who really has the power - it's us!
"Dumbledore is not Doubledoor."
I'll call him 'Gandalf' if you prefer, or 'Lord Melchett' - old, robe, beard, easily confused.
"You both will have one set or will each have own?"
They should both buy three sets each, one to build one to keep mint in sealed box and one because I answered this question for them.
"Am I right to think about 2 sets combine in one proper size?"
One set is the proper size. : ) There is no easy way to join two back to back if that's what you mean. Sorry. The back wall is open so kids can play inside.
"Has anything been said about the black stand at the beginning of the video? Are those Lily and James? What is it for?"
That is Lily and James! Drawn badly by my own fair hand. As someone has guessed this was an early version of the Mirror of Erised that folded flat and slid under the floor of the hall, I wanted it to be like the Room of Requirements and appear like magic if needed. As that layer of bricks disappeared it moved to the tower. That both versions are in this model is even weirder to me as this ties the model down to a very specific point of development as I was figuring out where the mirror would end up and also as I was deciding if I should use the mirror design from the first movie or later in the series as they were a bit different! Cool.
Take care everyone. M.
