A 2,660-piece micro-scale Hogwarts model with a nameplate
This model is made for adults ages 18 and up who want a truly unique, large display piece. You receive 2,660 pieces. With them, you can build the miniature-scale castle and grounds, plus three separate brick-built models of the Durmstrang Ship, the Beauxbatons Carriage, and the Ford Anglia in the Whomping Willow tree. You also get a gold-colored Hogwarts architect minifigure and a “Hogwarts Castle” nameplate.
Inside the castle are many recognizable scenes from the films. You can rebuild the Main Tower and Astronomy Tower, the Great Hall, the greenhouses, and the connecting bridges that let you travel throughout each section of the castle, along with a boathouse near the Black Lake. On closer inspection, you also find the Chamber of Secrets, the Winged Key room, the Potions Classroom, and the Chessboard Chamber.
Once again, the grounds offer so much additional detail. The Durmstrang Ship rests on the water in the Black Lake, and next to it sits the Beauxbatons Carriage. And inside the branches of the Whomping Willow is the Ford Anglia. Each of these miniatures represents some of the most memorable scenes in the entire movie series. Searching for all these little builds adds to the overall enjoyment when your friends and family see what you’ve created.
Next to the “Hogwarts Castle” nameplate is the gold-colored Hogwarts architect minifigure, completing your display. Your finished model fits perfectly on a shelf, mantel, or desktop and provides a dramatic focal point anywhere in your house. Surrounding areas of your model, such as the rock formations, add depth and visual interest from any angle. It could also make a great gift for a friend who’s a Harry Potter fan, particularly if they enjoy building and displaying their LEGO sets.
With the LEGO Builder app, you can access digital building instructions, zoom in, pan out, and track your progress during construction. With 2,660 pieces, this set offers a relaxed yet satisfying project you can take as long as you like, whether you work on it a few nights a week or over a single weekend. As you work through various sections of the towers, bridges, and ground-level areas of the castle, it stays interesting until completion. The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle and Grounds creates a visually stunning representation of Hogwarts right in your own home. It appeals to both Harry Potter fans and LEGO collectors.
