Thanks very much! I tried having sims live in numbers 11 and 13, but everyone kept wandering round together - so this is great thanks! I no longer have to worry about the lives of the muggles of numbers 11 and 13! As ever, fabulous work!

Wow! This revision is fabulous and is such a nice surprise. =D I love the exterior! And the interior looks so rich in taste; it's gorgeous and definitely fits my image of the Black House.

And I'm so delighted at the smaller lot size, since I find that my computer lags a bit when I'm playing on larger lots...Thank you! :]

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone.

KneazlePuff, that's funny. I guess you could have locked the doors on the other 2 buildings to keep your Simmies from roaming! I can imagine that. I have build quite a few LARGE lots for the Potter collection, but this redesign has made me rethink lot size immensely. I think my future uploads (after the Harry Potter collection) will have more of a variety. I will keep residential lots small (unless they are MANSIONS) and reserve the larger lots for commercial areas. It's funny as when I actually PLAYED the Sims in the past, I mainly played in small lots.

Starfish, ditto. I was surprised too as I don't know where the energy came from last week. I was working on and COMPLETED 4 lots at once! NEVERMORE! :D

Thanks again everyone! I'm off to paint my son's bedroom at 2:00 in the morning! He just celebrated his 7th birthday. Spiderman rules the day. He had a basketball court mural. Now he wants a RED bedroom with the Spiderman theme. I am going to be covered in red paint sleeping on the floor by 6:00 A.M.. As usual, it was supposed to be a simple paint job, but I decided to do a faux finish on the red walls, add a fake window with a useable window sill above his bed, hang yarn spiders from the ceiling and graffitti his name in a painted spider web. YUP...dead asleep by 6:00 A.M.!

Thanks Rhinsmsi!

12 Grimmauld Place is actually one of my favorite places in the Harry Potter books. It has so much history and so many core events happen there! I love the idea of having a Family Tree as part of the wall paper (be sure to click on the image -GR2f- to get a small glimpse of the Black Family Tree)!

Thank you. Please do create a neighborhood, after all that was my intention for creating the lots. It was a lot of work, but once I finished I was most happy with the results. My favorite to date still has to be Godric's Hollow! Take care and once again I truly appreciate your taking time to look at and/or download my lots as you made comments on them. I bow to you!
