Product Description:

Amazon.com Review:
Harry Potter is entering his fifth year at Hogwarts, and now you can replay important scenes from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix book, movie, or even make up your own adventures. Legos are perfect for social play, and this Hogwarts castle set provides loads of exploration and cooperative play with 943 pieces.

completed model
Set includes step-by-step color diagrams
showing how to complete the model.
The set is modeled so that, when constructed, it recreates the look and feel of the Order of the Phoenix film. Several unique rooms are represented here, including the Room of Requirement, where Harry can get just about anything he wishes (provided he walks past it three times). The greenhouse provides a place where Hermione can tend a potted mandrake, which is included. There's even a fireplace through which Harry could exchange messages with Sirius Black, only there are no owls included. The accessory pieces of the set are loads of fun. It includes orange flames, tiny goblets, trophy ribbons, jewels, magic books, charts and many other interesting pieces.



While most Lego playsets come with just a few minifigs, this one is packed with almost the entire cast. Harry and his companions Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are included, along with Hogwarts staffers Hagrid, Professors Dumbledore, Snape, and the evil Dolores Umbridge. Potter will also have to contend with his nemesis, a newly designed Draco Malfoy who sports a mischievous grin, and a Death Eater. The playset also introduces two Thestral minifigs modeled after the large, winged, skeletal horses from the fifth installment.



With almost a thousand pieces, kids between 7 and 12 will likely take a few hours to put it all together into a finished playset. Fortunately, Lego includes colorful, step-by-step diagrams that makes construction--pardon me for saying it--a snap. And unlike other, non-Lego playsets, this can be broken down and re-assembled into many different combinations.



Hogwarts Castle minifig characters
Hogwarts Castle comes with nine minifig characters from the story.




The downside, though, is that Lego packages all of the tiny plastic parts in bags that don't reseal. You might want to consider getting one of those parts organizers to keep the pieces well sorted between assemblies or at least safe from Lord Voldemort. --Porter B. Hall

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My first set of Legos!
This was my first set of Legos, and yes, I am an adult. I thought it was challenging enough for my tween children to help me, and still fun for me as well. Plus, the Hogwarts Castle turned out really cool. Harry and the other characters are great looking. Especially Hagrid! The only negative thing I could nit-pick about was the castle is a lot smaller that you would expect. (Comparative to other Lego castles.) Great Lego set for the Harry Potter fan!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pieces missing, but service helpful.
My husband and I purchased this item for our son as his gift from Santa this year. Imagine our disappointment when the set was missing 22 pieces, (which we didn't discover, of course, until we started assembling it)... Our son handled the story that santa and the elves had a rough year ok, but it has been very hard on him waiting for the replacement pieces to come so we can finish building his castle. It was all he wanted and we were not happy to dispapoint him.

On a good note, customer ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hogwart's Castle
My 10 year old daughter received the castle for Christmas. She enjoys all things Harry Potter and LOVES the castle. She had no difficulty putting the castle together (it took her about 3 hours). She especially likes the greenhouse. She likes how Lego includes all sorts of small details in the kit that are discussed in the Harry Potter books, e.g Sirius Black's head in the fireplace.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hours of Fun
I bought this for my grandson's 6th birthday. Even though he does not read, he was able to follow the instructions for building the castle by looking at the pictures and diagrams. He needed a little help at times in identifying pieces by their length. Since I have read the first two Harry Potter books to him, he was very interested in the Lego castle. He spent two days engrossed in the building of the castle. There were many small details that made the castle worth the extra cost, and the figures ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best Lego thing ever!
This is the best Lego thing ever! Before I saw this, I thought that Legos were just blocks of plastic that you put together, then take down. I was wrong! This is so much fun ( the best part is messing up the characters.). It was a lot smaller than I imagined when it got put together, but it is good because if you have other Legos, you can sort of add parts to it (so far I have made a house for Ron, a bed for Hermione, and a chair for Harry.). The only thing is that when you have made the table and chairs ... Read More
