We Build The Massive, Multi-Set LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle, Currently In Progress

In 2024, LEGO began the astir ambitious physique task the institution has ever attempted: a afloat realized, minifigure-scale re-creation of Hogwarts Castle, made celebrated by the Harry Potter franchise. A azygous acceptable of this size and scope would beryllium impractically ample and prohibitively expensive. So instead, LEGO is releasing galore smaller sets that, erstwhile combined, volition signifier the afloat castle. It's a genuinely monolithic undertaking.

This is an ongoing project; LEGO has not announced the extremity day for the last set. But based connected their existent pace, it's going to beryllium years earlier the task yet wraps.

We've been gathering the LEGO Hogwarts Castle since it launched, and we volition proceed gathering and adding to it until it's complete. If you would similar to bash the same? it's not excessively precocious to start, though LEGO volition discontinue respective cardinal sets astatine the extremity of the year.

Here is each acceptable released truthful acold that comprises the modular LEGO Hogwarts Castle, presently successful progress. We've included a expansive portion number and terms number astatine the bottom, which we volition update arsenic the castle continues to grow. Lastly, we took and included immoderate photos of the castle arsenic it presently stands, truthful you tin spot its existent progression.

LEGO Harry Potter: Hogwarts Castle Sets

These are the sets you'll request to bargain if you privation to make your ain tremendous LEGO mentation of Hogwarts Castle. But these are conscionable the sets released to day – much volition beryllium added successful the future.

Hogwarts Castle: Owlery

The Owlery is the archetypal constituent of the Hogwarts Castle. If you're looking to chopped a country oregon 2 and prevention connected costs, you mightiness commencement with this one, due to the fact that it's an autarkic operation isolated from the main building. It has winter-themed, snow-capped spires, truthful if you're aft aesthetic consistency, you mightiness besides privation to swap retired a fewer pieces to marque the Owlery lucifer seasons with the remainder of the castle.

Hogwarts Castle: Boathouse

Both the Boathouse and the Owlery stock the aforesaid gray-colored hue connected their spires. Back successful 2024, this led galore LEGO fans to speculate that these sets marked the opening of a caller Hogwarts Castle, adjacent though it hadn't been officially announced yet. The Boathouse includes 2 tiny woody boats, truthful you tin recreate Harry's first-year accomplishment astatine Hogwarts.

Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class

This is the archetypal Hogwarts schoolroom set, which tin swap successful to regenerate different country successful the castle. To usage an example: The Great Hall comes with the girl's bath successful the dungeon, wherever the troll attacks Hermione successful the archetypal book/movie. It's bully looking diorama, but it's highly country specific, and it doesn't truly acceptable successful with the remainder of the castle. So, if you privation to, you tin swap retired the troll country with Professor Snape's Potions Classroom, which is simply a batch much elaborate and colorful, and contains a wider scope of roleplay opportunities. If you don't get the Potions Classroom, it's not going to look, astatine slightest outwardly, similar something's missing. But still, it's hard to ideate Hogwarts without it.

Hogwarts Castle: The Great Hall

The archetypal large 'essential' gathering artifact successful the Hogwarts Castle, the Great Hall includes the eponymous Hall – wherever the Sorting Ceremonies and Start and End-of-Term Feasts instrumentality spot – and 3 further rooms: the girl's bath wherever the troll attacked Hermione; a constrictive corridor; and the Hufflepuff Common Room. The Great Hall connects to the Boathouse astatine the bottommost of the outer stairwell; connects to the Main Tower astatine its side; and tin swap its bath with the Potions Classroom. We built and photographed this 1 astatine the clip of its launch.

Hogwarts Castle: Dueling Club

This acceptable recreeates the Dueling Club country from Chamber of Secrets, successful which Draco conjures a snake and Harry uses Parseltongue to halt it from attacking Justin Finch-Fletchley. There's a gimmicked level successful the array that makes the minifigures alert backwards disconnected of it. If you want, you tin swap retired the location tables successful the Great Hall with the Dueling Club table. It's a amusive alternative, but wide inessential to the larger castle, if that's what you're going for.

Hogwarts Castle: Charms Class

Professor Flitwick's Charms Classroom lets you recreate the Wingardium Leviosa country from the archetypal book/movie ("It's Levi-O-sa! Not Levio-SA."). The Professor Flitwick minifigure has his archetypal movie appearance, erstwhile the filmmakers leaned into his goblin hertitage. The Charms Classroom slots into the Flying Lessons set, and tin swap with the Quidditch instrumentality room.

Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons

On the exterior, this acceptable depicts the country wherever Harry rides a broom for the archetypal clip (it adjacent includes a minifigure of Madame Hooch). But connected the interior, this is simply a Professor McGonagall-centric set. It includes the aforementioned Quidditch instrumentality room, but it besides contains McGonagall's bureau and McGonagall's Transfiguration classroom. The Flying Lessons acceptable doesn't link to immoderate of the existent sets; it'll acceptable successful later, erstwhile we person much of the Castle completed.

Hogwarts Castle: Herbology Class

The Herbology Classroom includes a uncommon Professor Sprout minifigure, positive Hermione and Neville successful their greenhouse smocks and gloves. The greenhouse feels appropriately overgrown and busy, with 3 mandrake plants and accompanying earmuff accessories. It is simply a freestanding operation from the larger Hogwarts Castle, though dissimilar the Owlery, it'll beryllium successful adjacent proximity to it.

Hogwarts Castle: The Main Tower

The 2nd large Hogwarts Castle set, the Main Tower connects straight to the Great Hall connected its close side. And taken unneurotic (see much photos below), you truly get a consciousness of size and scope. The interior contains 3 of the rooms from the Sorcerer's Stone trials: the Devil's Snare room, the Flying Keys room, and the Chess Set room. One level up is Fluffy's country and a constrictive corridor. One level up from that is the Gryffindor Common Room. And past the existent Main Tower contains 3 staircases (two of them rotate), Dumbledore's office, and a concealed country containing the Mirror of Erised. We built and photographed this acceptable astatine launch.

What's The Current Total Price?

The existent full terms stands astatine $757.91.

What's Next?

Right anterior to releasing the Owlery, LEGO released an architectural physique of Hogwarts Castle successful miniature form. It has the aforesaid grey spires arsenic the modular castle, and due to the fact that of its timing, my mentation is that it is simply a unsmooth blueprint for however the last castle volition look.

Above, I've circled the parts of the modular castle that person been released. So you tin spot we person rather a spot (close to two-thirds) of the last gathering to go. Maybe the Viaduct Bridge that leads from the Great Hall to the Central Hall is next? That would beryllium a smaller set. And then, it's apt that the Central Hall would beryllium the adjacent large physique aft that.

But that's each axenic speculation. We'll person to hold and see.
