Every child will be exposed to more or less fairy tales from an early age, and it can be said that many children have a fairy tale dream in their hearts.
In the movie "The Legend of Narnia", the little girl Lucy hides in the closet by playing hide-and-seek, only to find that there is a world of ice and snow hidden behind the wardrobe...
I believe that the friends who watched this movie when they were children have secretly seen the back of the wardrobe at home
I hope I can have such a fantastic experience.
In real life, there is such a father who has created a wizarding world behind the wardrobe for his daughter, and he is Dylan, the father from the United Kingdom.
In April, when everyone doesn't go out often due to the pandemic, Dylan, who is worried about nothing to do, decides to surprise her daughter by designing and building a secret magical world behind her wardrobe before her birthday in September.
When her daughter was in elementary school, she became an avid Harry Potter fan, so Dylan decided to build the magic street of Harry Potter, Diagon Alley.
Of course, this is also due to the size of the wardrobe in the daughter's bedroom: 4 meters long and 1.4 meters wide, and it is not a problem for people to walk freely in the wardrobe.
When her daughter returned to school, Dylan immediately began to act, first of all, in order to let her daughter play here barefoot, Dylan chose soft wool floor mats as floor tiles.
Then, with wood and some fibreboard, the façade of each shop was built.
In order to create the feeling of the winding alley, Dylan abandoned part of the space and even set up some of the shops into three areas.
Such "Diagon Alley" has an intricate, bumpy sense of reality, and there is a sense of immersion!
Next, Dylan began to go around buying some vintage furniture and decorations, as close as possible to the Harry Potter style.

We have also designed an exclusive deposit drawer in Gringotts
The façade of each store should also be restored enough
At the entrance of the owl shop, a statue of a small owl was designed
At the entrance of the ice cream shop, there are also colorful small bunting flags▼
Dylan alone was still a little overwhelmed, so other family members came to help Diagon Alley.

This huge project took Dylan several months before and after. Sometimes when it is boring and tedious, there is also Harry Potter music, which feels more substitutionary.
Finally, Diagon Alley was completed by her daughter's birthday at the end of September.
Dylan first accompanies her daughter to play hide-and-seek, and lets her daughter find a place to hide. As Dylan expected, the daughter soon discovered the curtained room behind the closet.
The moment the curtain was opened, my daughter was shocked – as if she were really in the wizarding world of Harry Potter!
Dylan took his daughter's hand and visited each of the shops he had built.

I also changed my daughter into a Harry Potter cosplay costume, and I could feel my daughter's irrepressible surprise across the screen.
The daughter's addiction to being a little magician has really made many people envious, and kang kang's foreign netizens have commented
"It's the coolest thing I've ever seen!" Can you be my dad? I'm 30 years old. ”
"There's a 33-year-old boy here, can I be your daughter too?"
Dad is really a person who will take care of you and surprise you.
Sometimes, what children want is not such a fairy tale dream, but the companionship and care of their parents.
