As soon as I had some Harry Potter sets in hand I dug the candles out to check. <br /><br />I suspect we'll see them cast in black and grey before too long.

The slight difference is actually significant as Are Heiseldal and I were discussing and he asked if the candle has clutch between four studs on the studded surface - I checked and it is smaller and does not :-( Elspeth De Monteshttps://www.flickr.com/photos/azurebrick/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-47907515230169466002018-09-11T14:09:00.169+01:002018-09-11T14:09:00.169+01:00Hi Ben,

So the narrow end would fit into the tubes on the underside of the 2x4 brick but the other end would not.Elspeth De Monteshttps://www.flickr.com/photos/azurebrick/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-84080072814662702522018-09-11T12:51:20.012+01:002018-09-11T12:51:20.012+01:00So is the candle the same diameter as a stud?

It doesn't seem to have any common LEGO metric, so it's just decoration, lanterns have that bump.anothergolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063659558378517999noreply@blogger.com
