If you've just invested in the Hogwarts reproduction from the LEGO Harry Potter set 71043 Hogwarts Castle, here is what to accompany it on your shelves with the reference 40289 Diagon Alley which reproduces Diagon Alley in the same micro format.

No micro-figurines representing characters in this box, apart from the goblin statue, but a minifig of Garrick Ollivander, the maker of magic wands.

In terms of constructions, we therefore find the Gringotts Sorcerer's Bank, Ollivander's shop, the Flourish & Botts bookstore (Fleury and Bott), the Quidditch accessories shop and the Weasley family's joke and joke shop.

Already available in Slovenia in at least one LEGO Certified Store, this box should soon arrive in LEGO Stores and on the official online store.

An important detail, the reference 40289 may suggest that it is in fact a product intended to be offered for the purchase of a particular reference. The references 40288 and 40290 were indeed used for promotional products (the BB-8 polybag and the small set 60 Years of the Brick). To be continued...

If you are a fan of LEGO and the Harry Potter universe, I don't need to remind you that the 71043 Hogwarts Castle set is now available in the LEGO Shop for members of the VIP program (of which you are obviously already part ...).

6020 pieces, a small handful of minifigs, a large ladle of micro-figurines, a retail price of € 419.99 (€ 449.99 in Belgium) and a large shelf needed to display this reproduction of Hogwarts, everything has already been said on the subject.
If you have weighed the pros and cons at length and passion outweighs logistical or financial considerations, you can checkout in the LEGO Shop directly via the links below depending on your country of residence:

In addition to this availability and to mark the occasion, I suggest you try to win one of the four boxes generously offered by LEGO, the sets 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall, 75956 Quidditch Match, 75953 Hogwarts Whomping Willow et 41621 Ron Weasley & Albus Dumbledore, by participating in the small contest below.

As usual, I'm asking you a question (which I couldn't choose this time), it's up to you to find the answer. Four winners will be drawn from among the correct answers.

The email addresses and other personal data collected during this competition will NOT be used for any purpose other than checking the validity of entries and the drawing of lots, they never are. No participation via comments.

Good luck to everyone.

Now that the effect of the announcement has faded and you have had time to think about the question, know that you have 4 days to decide whether or not to spend the 420 € requested by LEGO in exchange for the set. Lego harry potter 71043 Hogwarts Castle with its 6020 pieces, four minifigs and 27 micro-figures.

You have probably already had time to find a 69 x 43 cm location in your home to exhibit this imposing reproduction of Hogwarts which will be available as of August 15 in preview for members of the VIP program and from September 1 for anyone who hasn't yet understood that signing up for this program is free and that it's the only benefit offered by the official LEGO store ...

If not, the video presentation of the set by the two designers Justin Ramsden and Crystal Fontan will give you some additional decision-making elements or some welcome negotiating points if you share your living space with a few members of your family who do not welcome the arrival of the thing.

To be completely honest with you, I will skip this box. I like the universe (cinematographic, I have never read the books) of Harry Potter but not to the point of sacrificing the space necessary for the development of this luxury derivative product that I also find very success.

Official visuals for the LEGO Harry Potter set 71043 Hogwarts Castle (6020 pieces - 419.99 €) are now online at LEGO and they confirm that this is indeed a micro scale representation of Hogwarts accompanied by a large handful of microfigs and four minifigs of the founders of Hogwarts : Godric Gryffindor (Godric Gryffindor), Helga Hufflepuff (Helga Hufflepuff), Salazar Seprentard (Salazar Slytherin) and Rowena Ravenclaw (Rowena Ravenclaw).

I find the whole rather successful, I will perhaps let myself be tempted ...

Available from August 15th on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores for members of the VIP program. Public price for France 419.99 €.
