LEGO Harry Potter 4709: Hogwarts Castle

Product Information

Comprised of the Great Hall, Grand Staircase Tower, Owlery Tower, a gatehouse, a rowboat, owls in brown, grey, white, and black, a rat, and a bat, this version of the castle is based on its appearance in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

The Great Hall is the biggest single room in this set, but contains only one table and Dumbledore's seat (which can be lifted up to reveal a secret compartment), and a fireplace. We've already reviewed the 43227-1 Villain Icons and 71038 Disney 100 Collectible Figures, and today we dive into history with the 43230-1 Walt Disney Tribute Camera. The floor below (which can be reached by a spiral staircase) is the Restricted Section of the library.Use it as a guide to the contents of the set, or to find out part numbers when requesting replacements.

On the other hand the playscale version from 2009 wasn't that good in my opinion (way too thick and the play features are questionable). The nine minifigures included are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Hagrid, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, Peeves, and a Knight. The Gryffindor Tower top floor has an adjustable telescope for studying astronomy and a blue book (with a transparent spell tile inside).The tradition started in the 19th century by German Lutherans, and has since spread across the world in various forms.
