Lego's aim here has been more about echoing the big scenes rather than anything like an accurate architectural representation of the castle as it appears on screen.

#HARRY POTTER FILM STILLS MOVIE#
Please note, though, that this model doesn't actually replicate the entirety of Hogwarts as seen in the movie it's basically just the front part of it. And that's not all: outside the building you also get a Whomping Willow and Hagrid's Hut to add to the value. They're well designed and mostly recognisable, but of course they're not nearly as detailed, or satisfying, as minifigures.Īlmost everywhere here, Lego's made brilliant use of space, from the devil’s snare behind a rock to the moving staircases, which are actually rotatable. Given the huge number of scenes represented, many of these rooms are quite minuscule, and so rather than minifigures (of which there are just four), the set is centred around 27 microfigures, which are tiny enough to pose in multiple places. Elsewhere you'll find Chamber of Secrets, Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom, Dumbledore’s office, Umbrage’s office, the Transfiguration classroom and plenty more besides. It would take to long to list every single location and scene represented in this Lego Harry Potter castle, but suffice to say The Great Hall is beautifully realised, with nicely designed stained glass windows, flaming torches, and seating able to house a range of students and staff. Because this brilliant set, which measures around 60 x 75cm once constructed, really does pack a lot of classic Harry Potter moments into its multiple rooms and passageways. But if you are prepared to invest both, then you'll get a lot back in return. And we say "money" because, well, it's certainly not cheap. We say "time", because it's going to take quite a while for you to build this complex set, with over 6,000 pieces.
