Elvendork

Update: Here’s the really funny thing. Ned reminded me in the comments that this was an old story. That rang a bell in my mind. I searched The Hog’s Head. I reported it way back on September 15, 2006! Here are some better pictures. At least now, via John, we know what to call people like this (and like us): elvendorks.

John Granger came across a pretty impressive undertaking by a genuine elvendork – a matchstick scale model of Hogwarts!

Pat Acton, 55, of Gladbrook, took more than two years to complete the model which features all the turrets, walkways and towers seen in the films.

“I love the books and consider myself a Harry Potter fan,” he said.

“A fan,” indeed. I look forward to John’s future nominations for Elvendork of the Month, and perhaps the pub’s patrons can nominate a few of their own.
