Utility Box
 Electrical panelWe used a 125-amp GE electrical panel for the house. All the wiring is 12 gauge, except for the lighting, which is 14 gauge. The water heater had its own wiring, which we connected to a 60-amp breaker. The kitchen and bathroom have GFI outlets. The exterior outlet on the front of the house for the ClimateRight unit is on its own breaker. |  UnicornThe unicorn, a pure-white horned horse. It is a monstrous thing to kill a unicorn. The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you ae an inch from death, but at a terrible price. |

 NifflerNifflers, Nifflers, everywhere! |  Golden Dragon EggAn absolute necessity. The golden dragon egg is a must-have to complete the 2nd Tri-wizard task. |
 Large blue light-up DragonThis large blue dragon lights up, and certainly looks like the dad to the smaller dragons in the den. |  Young DragonThis soft blue dragon looked like he should be the offspring of the large blue dragon! |
 Hagrid delivering baby Dragons.This mini Hagrid wearing the cute oven mitts came with the miniature dragon shown beside him. |  Golden Egg SocksThe utility box wouldn't be complete without socks for the house elves. We were thrilled to find these Golden Egg footies at Hot Topic. |
 BuckbeakThis plush Buckbeak (or maybe Witherwings?) from Barnes & Noble has the most engaging look on his face! |  AragogShopping around Halloween paid off again with this large spider, which we hung from the top of the box. We couldn't have found a better Aragog. |
 Hogwarts OwleryThe utility box on the back of the Hogwarts Inn Express houses the electrical panel, water heater and incoming water. We dressed up the water heater/plumbing side by creating an owlery, complete with a variety of owls, and a plain metal postal box painted and decorated in bright red. Inside the box is a letter to the new owners with a message about Horcruxes and Hallows. |  Owl PostWe found a raw metal box that looked perfect for a Muggle post box. We just added paint and a letter for the new owners. |
 Utility BoxThe utility box outside houses the electrical panel and the water heater. We wanted to dress it up a bit, so we created the Forbidden Forest and a Dragon's den on one side, and an Owlery on the other. The forest curtain hides the panel on the left, and velcro'd black material covers the incoming pipes for the plumbing on the right side. There is also an outlet and a light in the box. |  Forbidden Forst and Dragon's DenThese spaces have been decorated just for a bit of whimsy, and to make the utility box more attractive. Since several of the decor items are licensed Harry Potter collectibles, the new owner will most likely remove some of these and place them inside the house. |
 Two caged owlsThis cage had just the old-fashioned look we wanted for the owlery, and the tiny owls had these really quirky looks, a great combination. Maybe Pigwidgin. |  Ornament owlWe loved this ornament owl, and wanted a variety of owls in the space. |
 ThestralThis thestral is one of our favorite Funkos. |  Potions for Utility BoxWe took some empty bottles and jars, and added a variety of ingredients and labels to create a few potions bottles. |
 Marey Eco11 on demond water heaterFor the hot water, we included an on demand ECO11 system. It is quite small and lightweight, but strong enough to heat water for a shower and sink simultaneously. |
