About this deal

LEGO parts meet strict quality standards, which ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart easily - and it's been that way since 1958. There are other sets in the series to collect. Designed to recreate different magical classrooms, they can be placed together to produce a 360-degree Hogwarts™ play experience. For children from 8 years old. Suitable for young witches and wizards looking for new ways to experience Harry Potter adventures. For that, you’ll need to look to the play potential the set offers, which is thankfully plentiful. Not because of any particular play features baked into the design – there are no functions to speak of – but the storytelling opportunities offered through what’s ostensibly a location set in disguise, borne out by its pop-up diorama and told through its minifigures. And for a set built around a book, that makes a lot of narrative sense. — Characters — Children open the cover of the set to enter Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration lesson. There are a ton of magical supplies to practice with - but Ron needs help turning his rat into a drinking cup!

LEGO® building components meet stringent industry standards to ensure they are compatible and connect and pull apart consistently every time – it’s been that way since 1958. This portable playset is filled with familiar features from the Harry Potter movies. Some are built-in, such as the storage cupboard, and some are loose, like the watering station, which lifts out to expand the play space. This captivating Harry Potter playset can be combined with other playsets in the collection – each opening to reveal a different Hogwarts classroom adventure. Designed with distinctive colors and a unique motif, the playsets all connect to create a 360-degree Hogwarts play space for kids to explore.For ages 8 and up. Suitable for young witches and wizards looking for a new way to enjoy a Harry Potter™ adventure. Kids lift the cover to enter Professor Sprout's Herbology lesson. There is gardening equipment and enchanted plants to practice with – and safety warnings about the monstrous Mandrake! Looking for a treat for a Harry Potter enthusiast? There are lots of LEGO Harry Potter playsets to choose from – each designed to enchant and inspire kids' imaginations. If you're looking for a truly magical treat, LEGO Harry Potter playsets offer a range of captivating gifts that will delight any young witch or wizard. McGonagall also has a new double-sided head (which was basically impossible with the older hat element, unless you wanted to sub her in for Professor Quirrell/Voldemort in the first movie’s pivotal confrontation), topping off one of the theme’s best minifigures to date – high praise for a theme often anchored around the design of its plastic people. — Price —

There are several of these magical sets to collect. They are each designed and decorated like a different classroom at Hogwarts. Together they form an innovative 360-degree play area. For ages 8 and up. A great gift for young witches and wizards looking for a different way to experience Harry Potter™ magic and excitement. Okay, it’s pretty easy to see what the LEGO Group was going for across its Hogwarts Moments sets: these things need to blend in seamlessly with your bookshelf, and bright, bold colours probably wouldn’t have done the job. Instead, you can expect muted or more subtle hues right across the board, including here with Gryffindor.

Specifications

LEGO® components fulfil stringent industry quality standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart perfectly every time – and it’s been that way since 1958. All LEGO® Harry Potter™ sets are bursting with characters, features and locations from the magical movies to enchant and inspire endless imaginative play. All LEGO Harry Potter sets include beloved characters, fun features and famous locations from the hit movies. An enchanting, useful and magical gift for any young witch or wizard. There are things to like in 76382 Hogwarts Moment: Transfiguration Class, even if they’re not the colour scheme or the price. Professor McGonagall is a marvellous minifigure; there’s plenty of fun to be had for kids who enjoy story-driven play; and watching everything collapse into the book frame is a moment of geometrical genius.

What, you don’t remember Gryffindor’s classic dark orange and flame yellow colour scheme? It was in all the movies: Harry’s dark orange and flame yellow scarf; the dark orange and flame yellow Quidditch robes; and even the dark orange gems in the house point hourglasses. What do you mean, red and gold? Features authentic accessories, such as a silver spade and pruning scissors, and a greenhouse setting that kids will know from famous scenes in the Harry Potter™ movies. It’s not often that opening a LEGO box can immediately clue you into why it costs what it does – you usually need to dive into the specifics of the bags for that information – but it’s hard to miss the huge book cover pieces that drop out of 76382 Hogwarts Moment: Transfiguration Class. Except, hang on, aren’t these sets… for kids? And aren’t the actual Harry Potter book covers all bright reds, blues, greens, yellows and purples? The answer is yes on both fronts, so why the LEGO Group opted for the colours it did for these sets is pretty puzzling.That honour lies with Professor McGonagall, who finally gets the treatment she deserved in 2018’s 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall with a new dual-moulded hat and hair piece. No longer will Hogwarts’ Deputy Headmistress look bald beneath her witch’s hat, which we’re sure is a relief to Dame Maggie Smith, who presumably cares very deeply about her LEGO minifigure representation. With various accessories for extra imaginative play, such as a teacup, a silver drinking cup and a frog to practice your transfiguration skills, plus Ron's rat Scabbers. It’s not entirely easy, though, because the end result here still feels a little diminutive for the price you’ve just paid. Sixteen studs isn’t a great deal of height, so it won’t exactly look enormous on your bookshelf, and there’s not much in the way of interactivity.

This magical Hogwarts Moment set is approx. 12 cm high, 8 cm wide and 4 cm deep, the ideal size to take with you everywhere.
