What a ridiculous task it was to pick the winners of the #LEGOdarkArts Riddikulus contest! There were just so many amazing entries, but eventually we have the winners.
Toy Photographers, together with Cheepjokes, Frost Bricks, and Stuck In Plastic are excited to announce the winners of LEGO’s #LEGODarkArts Riddikulus contest!
The contest was to create a fun and creative before/after scene showing the effect of the Riddikulus charm. The entry must consist of two elements; first showing a scene with a Boggart in the shape of something frightening – then show the scene after the Riddikulus charm has been cast.

You’ve made through all my blathering and ended up here, you should sign up to our weekly email round up where you’ll get a recap of all the babbling from the week.
Woohoo! Thank you! This was a tough challenge for me.
Even just trying to find an amusing way to transform a fear was hard because on top of the contest rules, I had my own: no clothes change gags.
I’m glad my spelling bee pun worked! The alternative was doing something with the Bee Gees but I couldn’t get beards on the bees LOL.
Again, a tough contest to come up with original concepts for — and build for — so my hat off to all the photographers who entered.
amazing! thank you!it has been a real challenge for me,since I don’t know anything about harry Potter 🙂 i’m so proud of this prize!
Congratulations to all of the winners! This was such a fun contest to watch, there were so many excellent entries and it was great to see so many creative interpretations.
