I'm not sure I understood what you said... did you mean to break the King
(somewhat like on this picture) to place the Queen better, or only to remove
some parts of the King without breaking it ?
(I put the Queen behind the King because I still don't know how to place her
:-)

Btw, I have not seen Harry Potter, so I can't be accused of plagiarism ;-)

Thank you
