Like other Potterheads out there, I was devastated when my Hogwarts acceptance letter didn’t turn up. At first, I blamed it on the owl – it’s a long way from the UK and it might’ve gotten sidetracked. But no owl ever came, and I accepted my fate of being a regular muggle. But hurrah, now there’s a chance for us muggles to live out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
From now to 9 September 2018, there’ll be a flurry of Harry Potter activities happening at Compass One to celebrate LEGO’s launch of the Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle. The set features Hogwarts in its full glory, from Tom Riddle’s Chamber of Secrets to the red-and-gold Gryffindor common room. Here’s what we can build with over 6,000 LEGO pieces:
While we’ve all played with LEGO in our childhood, this Harry Potter 71043 Hogwarts Castle is a whole ‘nother ball game – especially since it comes with 27 microfigures and over 6,000 pieces. That includes practically the whole gang, with favourites like Hermione Granger to Death Eaters like Bellatrix Lestrange…even He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named makes an appearance with 5 loyal Dementors.
Our favourite characters enjoying their meals at the Great Hall.
The Castle comes with everything we’ve ever read in the books: there’s even a Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Chamber of Secrets, and a Hungarian Horntail dragon to boot. Hogwarts’ grounds also features Hagrid’s hut and the Whomping Willow tree – y’know, the tree with the secret passageway to Hogsmeade.
These moving staircases are fully rotatable!
It even includes details as minute as buildable boats to sail across the Great Lake, Dumbledore’s Pensieve, and moving staircases. Really, anything you’ve ever wondered about in Hogwarts – this LEGO set has got it all.
There’ll also be other LEGO Harry Potter sets available for purchase – showcasing everything from the Weasley’s flying Ford Anglia to a Quidditch game.
The Harry Potter 71043 Hogwarts Castle is priced at $649.90. Those who purchase the set will also get an exclusive Harry Potter and Hermione Granger LEGO mosaic gift*.
*While stocks last.
The LEGO set of Hogwarts Castle launched over the weekend, but you can still head to the LEGO Harry Potter Event at Compass One to admire Hogwarts in its full beauty. There’s plenty going on, from building your own Harry Potter models to scoring free LEGO sets.
There’ll be a Build & Redeem Area where you can build with LEGO pieces, snap and share your own Harry Potter build to claim a Compass One freebie. It’s a space where you can build a whole lotta Harry Potter creations, from a wand – who needs Ollivander’s Wands these days? – to the Weasley’s flying car. You can also try your hand at building the Hogwarts Express.
Helping piece together the massive mosaic that’ll feature a larger-than-life version of Harry Potter’s face.
Also, if you purchase any LEGO product of any amount at the Launch Event, you stand a chance to win the Harry Potter mosaic – plenty of HP fans contributed by piecing together this mosaic mural over the weekend.
Spend a min. of $80 to get a free LEGO 3047 Harry Potter Harry’s Journey to Hogwarts too: it comes with parts of the Hogwarts Express along with key characters like Harry and Hedwig.
From now till 9 September 2018, make your way down to the LEGO Harry Potter Event to start building all your Harry Potter favourites. Although you’re resignedly still a Muggle, you don’t need to go to Hogwarts – you’ve got your very own Hogwarts Castle.
You can also get up to 30% off selected LEGO Harry Potter items, to make the entire Wizarding World come to life.
