The bus's height posed a challenge for the filmmakers when the vehicle was required to pass underneath bridges. To solve this problem, the top of the bus was designed to be removable.

After I build a new Lego set I always have a few small pieces left. Did I forget to use them? Verified Finally, the Knight Bus was first commissioned in 1865. [2] The idea was proposed by then- Minister Dugald McPhail. [2] Eight years have passed since 4866 The Knight Bus was released during 2011 and this brilliant model represents a considerable improvement over past versions. The vehicle measures 16cm in both length and height so its proportions seem more accurate when compared with the movie and the shape of the bus is almost perfect, due primarily to the shallower angle of its front windows above the cab. One notable feature of the film adaptation of the Knight Bus is the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling.The bus appears to travel over large distances with the sound of an explosion, indicating that it may use some form of Apparition to do so. During the early 1990s, the Knight Bus's conductor was Stan Shunpike, who greeted passengers and handled baggage, and was driven by Ernie Prang. [1] However, the new double-sided head undoubtedly captures some emotion and I like the textured hair piece. This component was designed to replicate Harry's hair style from the earliest movies but works here in my opinion, even though a specialised part would have been preferable. The figure includes a dark brown wand and a trunk which contains a letter, a chocolate bar and a trans-yellow potion. Beds replace standard seating during overnight journeys aboard the Knight Bus, although this model only includes one bed. Nevertheless, it appears nicely detailed and opens to place a minifigure inside which is fun. In addition, the bed slides across two 1x8 tiles so replicates their dangerous motion from the film while Ernie Prang sits in the driving seat at the front.

The two biggest contributers to the discolouring of the plastic of Lego toys are long term exposure to sunlight and cigarette smoke. Try to minimise these when storing your Playmobil. The Knight Bus is named after the various night bus services throughout Great Britain, as well as a play on the word "knight", as it gives the connotation that the vehicle comes to the rescue of those who need it. [7] Behind the scenes [ ] Most Lego sets are suited to play with from age 4 and up, because of the small parts they include. The special Duplo theme is suited for children aged 1,5 and up. The recommended age is always mentioned on the box. The driver and conductor of the Knight Bus in ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ are named after my two grandfathers, Ernest and Stanley." Although the capacity of the bus is not stated in the books, in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban a sign inside the bus states that the bus can carry 9 passengers, 3 on each level.

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in: Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery& Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells& Harry Potter: Magic Awakened. In the book, items appear to jump away to avoid collision. In the film, the bus just swerves around or squeezes past (or through) obstacles, and in terms of the latter, the driver is shown throwing a switch that causes the bus to contract. The bus also becomes invisible within the distance, materialising when called, and vanishing when leaving. I am equally satisfied with Ernie Prang, whose invariably alarmed facial expression looks marvellous. The white facial hair and round glasses both appear faithful to the source material and his olive green cardigan is brilliant too. Its intricate patterning looks particularly impressive and I like the muted colour scheme, faithfully replicating Ernie's onscreen clothing. Since Apparition would be a faster and more practical way of transportation, the Knight Bus may be used for those who cannot use Apparition or Portkeys, or those who are underage, and therefore need the bus, and may even be accessible to Squibs.
