I’m . . . actually a little disappointed. The Thestral looks great, but that carriage . . the railings look lovely, but the rest of it looks incredibly plain. Like, the sort of thing we’d expect to see fifteen years ago. They couldn’t have just thrown on a few stickers? Also, that Grindelwald face. I really hope the eyebrows show up better in the final version, because when I first looked at it, I couldn’t see them. And that staring look just looks stupid without the eyebrows. And would it really have been so hard to put printing on Picquery’s dress?
Interesting new dress piece
