Finished product display
This LEGO® 71043 Hogwarts Castle set is a must-have for fans who appreciate the immersive experience provided by recreating a landmark of the wizarding world through a book and eight films.

Five years after the release of this set, for all Harry Potter fans, it still has endless aftertaste. After the release of LEGO 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Garden Set this year, I think it will further deepen the fans' favor for the LEGO Group. Not only is the set more reasonable in size, but it is a full version of Hogwarts castle, which was not fully represented in the previous 71043 set.


This set is smaller, simpler, and has fewer parts. The proportions are similar to the castle set in the LEGO Architecture series. Although some compromises have been made in the design, it does not mean that corners will be cut. The small size of the set means a lower price. Some, but also has a certain collection value.

As mentioned earlier, it is obvious from the name of the suit that this brand new castle suit expands the scene to a panoramic view. You must know that the huge castle five years ago only had an area of ⅓ of the panoramic view.

And in the actual building process, the new castle set provides us with a richer internal structure, which not only helps to distinguish it from 71043 Hogwarts Castle, but also adds additional elements to the expanded scene. color and detail.

The base is framed in black, covering all the bumps well, making the whole castle seem to be in a vibrant picture frame.

Regardless of the size of the whole set, it uses a total of 22 bags of parts. If 71043 Hogwarts Castle pays more attention to scene restoration, then 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Courtyard Set focuses on the immersion and details of the castle itself.

Details outside the castle include the Durmstrang sailboat and Beauxbatons carriage from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and the flying Ford and Whomping Willow from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Although these are relatively small components, it does not mean that there are no details and easter eggs inside the building.

Below the entire castle, there are many interior rooms, especially recording some famous scenes of the Harry Potter trio in the movie.

All in all, these details have been restored in miniature for some specific famous scenes in books and movies. Although the size is not large, the recognition is very high. And the building of these rooms also adds extra fun to us.

The overall building time is not short, and the building experience is also very good. But be careful, there are a lot of asymmetrical builds, so don't get it wrong.

golden minifigure
LEGO® 76419 Hogwarts™ castle and grounds set, not as large as previous castle sets, so there are no minifigure parts in all the scenes. But it still gave a minifigure: the architect of Hogwarts Castle, and a golden minifigure at that.

This minifigure appears as a statue, even if it is placed on the edge of the entire LEGO model, it will not be very out of place, and at the same time it can be used as a supplementary role for all the golden minifigures in the LEGO® Harry Potter 20th Anniversary series.

Summary comment
LEGO® Harry Potter 76419 Hogwarts™ castle and grounds set, through clever design, redesigned with full consideration of the size of a completely different scale, for all our LEGO and Harry Potter fans, offers a very unique, equally fun and immersive product that adds to the panorama of the entire castle, which surprised us.

At the same time, there are many places worthy of our appreciation in the mastery of details. The precise size and excellent display effect are undoubtedly a very good set product.
