(And do it quick, because it’s set to retire next year.) If you only buy one LEGO Hogwarts set, make it this one. The open-backed approach makes it the perfect playset, but also encourages combining two copies to create an enclosed Great Hall. It’s not just a case of ‘first is best’, of course, because 75954 has plenty of its own merits, too. All 10 of its minifigures were brand new in 2018, and it essentially redefined what a miinifigure-scale Hogwarts could look like in LEGO. It’s hardly a fair contest, though: this is the most iconic part of the wizarding school, and kicked off the renewed Wizarding World theme with a bang. One of the very first LEGO Hogwarts sets remains the one to beat. The shorter offshoot that runs next to the imposing tower also gives some visual variety within a single set, making this a solid standalone choice – or one to pair with virtually any other on this list.
GERMAN CLOCK TOWER MINECRAFT MOVIE
The exterior is no less impressive, recreating one of the movie series’ most recognisable sections of Hogwarts. The wintery decor is a welcome change, while the turntable dance floor is a rare interactive play feature for these static locations. Here, it’s the Goblet of Fire’s Yule Ball, and that gives it a clear distinction from other Harry Potter sets, both inside and out. Like its successor 75969, the Hogwarts Clock Tower is driven first and foremost by a party. Its only real flaws are a couple of odd colour choices: those white door frames stand out horrifically, and the push towards sand green sits at odds with the more realistic grey of previous sets.
Indeed, as we touched upon in our review, it’s simply a means by which the designers can pack in more details, more references, and more minifigure variants.ħ5969 includes all of those, while standing proud as the tallest segment of Hogwarts yet. Like all of the Hogwarts sets – and to an extent, the entire Harry Potter line – the Astronomy Tower focuses on story above all else. If you’re only aiming for one or two Hogwarts models, then, look to the top three.ģ. Perhaps because of that, though, it’s not quite as impressive as a standalone set. It’s also a nice bridging point between the larger Hogwarts sets in a wider layout, offering some contrast to the climbing spires of the Astronomy and Clock Towers. But the play value is arguably above and beyond any of the sets on this list, thanks to the inclusion of the eponymous tree and the flying Ford Anglia. The aesthetics of the castle’s exterior are clearly communicated, and there’s plenty of interior too. Now this is how you do a Hogwarts set without breaking the bank. (And it was pretty massive in the films, to be fair.) It still scores points for its three exclusive minifigures, too, and those trans-blue Patronus pieces are almost worth the entry price alone.Ĥ. But maybe that’s the point: this is the Room of Requirement, so its size is arguably whatever its students need it to be.
