I have been planning this project for a couple years after a trip to The Wizarding World at Universal Studios Florida. Member Canada beat me to the project and his chest is awesome. You can check out his thread here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=253391
My chest is based on screen captures from the movie, pics of the screen used chest located at the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London, and the chest located at Universal Studios in Florida.
As with Canada's build, almost nothing is available commercially. So building this thing is quite a chore and required a bunch of fabrication (wood, metal, and 3d printing). I started my quest with the Quaffle that is available for purchase from Universal. All of my dimensions are scaled from this ball, which is roughly 8 inches in diameter.
First, I built the chest and curved top.
Then, I built the shelf that holds the Quidditch Balls.
I used 5 inch steel balls for my bludgers.
