Awful Experience, Beautiful Set | LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle & Grounds (76419) Review

You can have your own scale model of Hogwarts made entirely out of LEGO, with the new Hogwarts Castle & Grounds. However while it may look perfect for any Harry Potter fan, it is not a build that you will probably enjoy...

This set's going to be my first Harry Potter set. Finally a good display set that doesn't break the bank and fits on a reasonably sized shelf.

Really interesting hearing about the build experience being worse than other sets, which I rarely ever hear other reviewers talk about but is absolutely a huge part of the experience of every LEGO set! Great review and fantastic final set

As a Hogwarts castle enthusiast who has replicated it in Minecraft ten times now, I am disappointed that the castle didn’t come with the Clock Tower, the Wooden Bridge, the Owlery, and the rest of the Training Grounds Courtyard. 😞

Really thinking about picking this one up, it looks really cool and I love Hogwarts architecture! Quick side note: the two binocular towers on the side of the big one are Dumbledores Office in the movies, not the Gryffindor / Ravenclaw towers. Gryffindor is the tower diagonally across the courtyard from the grand staircase tower :)

Just want you to know how much I appreciate your reviews! I've seen people complain about "negativity, " but the fact that your reviews are balanced and honest is the reason I come here. In fact, when I want an honest review with actual useful information, you and JANG are the only two I trust. Keep up the good work!!!

Somehow I found this set early in my local store and finished building it today. I agree, it wasn’t really enjoyable for me to work on, but I love the final result and how fits nicely on my shelf!

I think it was an awesome building experience 😅 to me one of the best in the Harry Potter universe

I am looking forward to getting this set. Although I loved the big one, it was too big to display. So something smaller, but still feeling complete is good. I also really love the way it is tiled off with the water at the bottom and the framing around the water, so it will be easier to pick up and move and look like a good display set for a story I absolute love and am a fan of. Combining two of my favourite things Lego and Harry Potter.

2:50 that’s binocular piece is not Gryffindor Tower nor Ravenclaw Tower. That is Dumbledore‘s office.

She’s so negative. I’ve built this set, it’s my favourite build to date. The building experience was very enjoyable; although it was a bit fiddly in pasty, I loved putting the techniques the used to create the illusion of grandeur. It’s majority small pieces so you need to pay attention 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was considering building the rebrickable moc version of this for years. Cool to see LEGO do a formal version of it.

Should be easy to add an expansion to the back of it with clock tower, the quidditch pitch, Hagrid’s hut, and owlry tower.

I cannot wait for this set! Will sit so beautiful with all the other Architectural sets

[BritsBricks]

I am so excited to get this set!! Thank you for the review!! 🎉

[OTHDogDad]

Unless I’m wrong, I now need to expand the display stand for my golden Harry Potter figures.

I love Holly’s creative videos! Even though there are already reviews on this wonderful set no review matches up to Holly’s except maybe Cheeseys and a handful of others

i love this set so much. i had a fun time building it for the most part. there was 4 pieces missing but i was able to use spare pieces from other sets, and the second booklet had about 12 pages missing that had been replaced by random pages from the first booklet??? that was annoying but i found the set instructions online luckily.

My brother got me a Lego skyline set from the 2nd fast and furious film for christmas and i kinda caught the lego bug i havent done a lego set in over 20 years, i just grabbed this set and will be buying the lighting kit to go with it, i also got the lighting kit for the Skyline

[murtazasyed]

the quidditch poly bg would be a perfect addition to the set!

[brick_mania]

My expertise is micro scale, as i have built the entirety of the fellowships journey through middle earth in it, so i ordered this day 2 so i could get the gwp's as well. The Repetitiveness is my favorite part due to knowing it will look good in the end. For instance, the mines of moria had a ton of rocks for me to build, as did ithilien and fangorn with all the trees. Really excited to build this when it arrives!

Do you have a link to the display cabinet you had the held the 71043?
