LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle: Flying Lessons Building Toy - Kids Wizard Toy for Boys and Girls, Harry Potter Fans, Ages 9+ - Gift Idea for Birthdays - 76447

Got this set for my son a few days ago cause it was half off, I did not regret it! It took him almost 3 hours to finish the set, and he enjoyed the building process a lot! When he was finished, he couldn't stop playing with the set, it was his first professor McGonagall lego minifigure and his first hooch one too, he loves moving around the little rooms included in this set, and he combines this set with his charms class lego set and the room of requirement set that recently came out, now he is begging me for some of the other hogwarts expansion sets and I want to surprise him this year on Christmas, he also loves folding this set together for his display and I can't wait to get him more sets!!!

This is such a beautiful model on its own, regardless of Harry Potter. However, it is based on the setting of the first two films. This particular scene, the Flying Lesson, is such an iconic part. Imagine being a child and watching your peers fly for the first time. It's such an exhilarating moment! It comes with your flying teacher (Madam Hooch), a Transfiguration classroom and teacher (Professor McGonagol) and your first instructor to Quidditch (Oliver Wood). There is capacity for other classrooms to be added whilst swapping out what's included. Whilst, at present, I don't have the current Hogwarts Castle sets, it stands out amongst any that have been made (even back to 2001!). The fact that you can arrange it into a full turret OR length wise adds to the play value. A HUGE recommendation for letting the imagination run wild :)
