That is nothing like I ever imagined the Riddle house.  Or the Shrieking shack.  Way too big for the Shrieking shack (it's a shack, after all!) and it doesn't remotely resemble a muggle house.  What's the thing on the ledge?  Is that a statue, like a gargoyle sort of thing, or something alive?  I'm thinking it looks more like St. Mungos than any other place introduced so far.  For one thing, it's big.  Second, it just *looks* like it's part of the WW.  Third, what about the windows?  A mental patient could have broken one.  One is boarded up, perhaps a patient who kept trying to escape out it?  Look at the top, under the attic windows.  There are what looks like letters.  The first one looks like an S.  Maybe a W, M, or N.  (You have to zoom in pretty close to see.)

And that wing . . . it's awfully big, or awfully close to the foreground.  It could be something altogether different than an owl or phoenix, a hippogriff or other winged creature?

<sigh> 36 days.
