who is the character with the wooden leg? 

Prof Kettleburn, the teacher for magical care and Hagrid‘s precursor  He made no official appearance in the movies, but there was an extra in PS/CoS that fans have speculated could be him, which TLG now pretty much canonised

Great thanks. Apparently he's mentioned in the Prisoner of Azkaban book as well which I'm about to start reading with my son so I'll look out for him.

Really impressed with the set. I've avoided Harry Potter Lego but this could be my first set in what could be a slippery slope....

This was my most anticipated set of 2025, and it does not disappoint. The new fluffy is adorable, the build itself is gigantic. And I have already managed to get the previous sets of this Hogwarts. How nice to be at the very beginning of building the largest officially available LEGO castle. This line is what i was dreaming about when i was a kid. I couldn't get HP lego sets back then but in my imagination and my dreams i saw them being insanely huge with lots of space inside and insane amount of minifigures. They weren't like that because my imagination embellished everything, but this time everything is exactly as I imagined!

PS: I assume we getting the Secret Chamber and updated Basilisk next year?

That was actually my question. Is the last missing huge segment of Hogwarts Castle is the part where the Chamber of Secret was located? I think we have a high chance of getting new Basilisk, since we get the new Troll and Fluffy this castle iteration. What I would love to get is the Hungarian Horntail new mould, but I think I am asking for too much.

Yeah i think it's logical we will get a Basilisk. So far nothing tells otherwise. It's like "the trio of famous giant HP-beasts that were inside of a castle". 

I think Hungarian Horntail is also possible. It's a huge key-part of books and movies. The dragon is not a part of a castle but we can get a separate set so you can put Horntail on a castle roof later. So far this line was going good enough to be very optimistic about it (i mean...they even gave us a literal build of inflated aunt Marge - at this point we can get anything haha )

All the grey-roofed sets that are on shelves right now, meaning the Owlery, Great Hall, Boat House, and the Flying Lesson, plus the interior modules (charms classroom, potions classroom, Duelling Club) ^^

• Funny to have a third version of Flint. Quite a lot for such a minor character!
• Nice of them to keep book-Percy exclusive!
• How many versions of Harris’ Dumbledore can they crank out before we finally get another Gambledore?
• Someone here will be very happy about one of the students…
• The PS looks stupid. Is it really so hard to recolour the gold nugget piece?
• Looks like the entire parts budget of this wave went into Fluffy. Worth it!

Neville in his pyjamas is fantastic! Never did I think, even when the theme began again in 2018, that we would be getting teddy bear jammies Neville. The scene is complete. 

And Ernie is clearly the son of a Skywalker, but he's not a clone! Hurray! 

As for Flint, I'm guessing that toothy grimace is just so memorable. I'm glad he's returning, although I really wish they would decide what they are doing with the Quidditch uniforms. No cape here at all is disappointing when the last versions of Quidditch players in a set, not a polybag, had not only capes, but the rubber folded down hoods. For the price of the set, this minifigure is disappointing in that regard. You can say the 'budget' went on Fluffy, but realistically make more budget, the prices on these sets is ridiculous anyway, stop squeezing out every bit away from the consumer.

Percy reusing the same robe piece will be disappointing to many I'm sure as he's very generic, but I'm glad the book minifigure still holds and hasn't been made redundant.

The Great Hall set gave us the red jewel piece for the Philosopher's Stone so already they can't make up their mind what piece to use! Some of the inconsistencies in such a short space of time do baffle me.

Gambledore has got to make an appearance next year surely? I thought the Chamber of Secrets would come next year, but now with the silhouette of the Astronomy Tower on the Main Tower box I'm not so sure. The Great Hall box has the Main Tower silhouette on it, so does that mean the AT is next year's big set or just it made sense for that to be the silhouette because the AT is the next big structure to the right of the Main Tower like the Main Tower is the next big structure to the Great Hall. Curious. Very Curious. Either way, if Gambledore doesn't make an appearance in the AT I would think he would come in some set next year as they have got to move on to cover more of the later films.

Now just to wait several months until the set goes on deep discount or the minifigures and Fluffy aren't extortionate on BL anymore.

The Main Tower set truly is amazing, both the exterior and interior. It looks massive and for once, I really do believe Lego's claim that this will be the definitive Hogwarts castle line.

I'm even shocked that they made some semblance of creating the griffin statue entrance to Dumbledore's office. I thought for sure they'd skip out on that like they did in the modular series. Would have liked it to be more elaborate and movie accurate, with an inner chamber that acts as a lift platform so the staircase rises, but I'm thankful we got what we did.

Same with the the Fat Lady's portrait actually opening up into the common room. Even the dorms being slightly ascended. The devil's snare section is probably the weakest, just like in the modular system. Lego doesn't seem very invested in that. Felt they could also have included more keys, not to mention provided actual winged keys.

Overall though, this is excellent and will probably go down as one of the best HP sets. As I missed the chess set a few years back, I've been itching to finally get my hands on Harry in his red sweater.

[Bugbot20082]

It’s a great tower build, the best version of the building by a mile, and I’m also impressed with the stairs etc, it’s got everything in it i expected. Figures for me however don’t warrant purchase as I have been collecting since 2018 and have made my own purist Kettleburn. 

Im also different from everyone else in that I’m content with keeping my Fluffy from the previous system, he has no opening mouth (velociraptor jaw?), but can at least lay down sleeping. 
I’m disappointed the keys don’t have wings but I’m very interested in getting hold of the new super large roof cone sections for my own MOC, that will save a lot of parts and design headaches! 
 

As the pattern seems to be to put a moulded creature in the big castle sections I agreed next year might be the COS again, under the Viaduct Building, but what else could they do to differentiate it from the previous set?

The Tower is a terrific set and I’m sorely tempted to get it, I love the sheer scale it exudes.

[Jaromir]

Maybe I am looking to far into the future, but I am pretty sure that if we are going to get astronomy tower next year, we will have Firenzo minifigure, for which I am hyped for, since we are getting teacher which were mentioned in the books. Just curious if the next year flaghsip set will have both Ravenclaw and Slytherin dormitories.

(Also this is not HP related, but how many people pegged the Creator Unicorn Castle to be an actual castle for unicorns in the style of My Little Pony, as opposed to the stronghold of a faction of Unicorn Knights? LEGO seem to almost be trolling the Castle AFOLs by giving them two castles, one of which has no moulded horses and the other of which has no knights.)

Well I didn´t expect an actually castle, though not a my little pony style one either - I thought we would get a kids playcastle or bouncer castle.

I really like the Main Tower. Sure the logistics of the Mirror of Erised being at the top of the tower doesn't make sense, but there's loads of play value here and it feels really warm and cosy.

Well, yeah it doesn´t make much sense but it doesn´t really bother me either, in the end there are a lot things included in the castle and since the mirror doesn´t need that much room it kinda makes sense to put him in the narrow space there - and it works good for the mirror scene, where Harry sees his parents IMO - for the Voldemort Scene, it still can be placed somewhere else.

If we are supposed to attach the Staircase Tower to one or both of the middle clips in the Great Hall set, it blocks off the empty room with the portraits from that set. But, it looks like there's something of a window or doorframe in the removable room where the chess is placed. It could be that the 'portrait-room' is supposed to be the room where the Mirror of Erised is placed. When both sets are connected, they are right next to eachother. It makes sence since Quirrel is in the Great Hall set also and its accessible via the hidden door on the rock-side.

That is also a possible option.

If they call him Kettleburn, than he was mentioned somewhere to be that person. We have seen with Gloin that they wouldn´t name him if there is no source. And if it is just some interview that is a extra on one of the dvds.

Either that or WB gave them permission ^^ Vector and Sinistra’s appearances were canonised through the LEGO games after all, which WB also gave the seal of approval to

[Gorilla94]

Oh, cool. It looks like Percy has the Burrow headpiece :) So I can upgrade my book version with the accurate robes :)

[MaxHeadroom]

The tower looks great. I’m going to end up eventually redoing the interior but that’s true of all of these sets, including things like the charms and potions classes. 
 

I really hope we start getting some castle content from the later films though. Aside from the dueling club (barely a part of this system IMO) and the Owlery it’s ALL from the first film. I’m definitely hoping this system lasts longer than 3 years too. Make it 4 or even 5. If nothing else though I think that just finishing upscaling the 2018 micro castle set and doing the last two common rooms (and ghosts) would be enough for me to consider this the best Hogwarts we’ve ever gotten. Astronomy, Clock, and Bell towers would be cool too but I’d still be content enough without them.

It would be great to have the astronomy tower! At first, I didn't understand how it could fit into the castle silhouette based on the layout of the castle seen in the movies. I imagined it would have to be it's own separate build (like the owlery or the flying lessons set). However, based on this previous LEGO set and this other pic (there are other ones online), I'm assuming it could connect to the viaduct entrance. It'll just be closer to the other buildings and the bridge that connects the main tower set to the viaduct entrance.

Or it could be like the Castle at Universal Studios where the Astronomy Tower replaced the Central Tower in the Long Gallery

Yeah, correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think we got any Hogwarts sets based off GOF/OOTP/HBP in the last previous 2021-2023 system. I suppose there were the banners and the moments sets but they were their own thing. I’m wondering what they might tackle next:

Viaduct Entrance - COS based? 

Clocktower - POA based

Bell towers and long gallery - GOF?

Astronomy Tower - HBP

I’m just spitballing here. Not sure what they would do for OOTP.

I’m pretty sure the Main Tower set included more than the Grand Staircase for stability purposes, so I am wondering if they do the Astronomy tower won’t they have the same problem.

Is there anything besides the Viaduct entrance they could connect it to? Of could Flying Lesson be the bridge between the two and you remove the top to place the Astronomy Tower set?

On the HBP version of the castle there is a square building on the other side to the Long Gallery which it could include for stability, the favourite fan theory is that that building includes the Charms Classroom (I think based on the view out the window in the HBP video game). It’s also what the rope bridge links to from the Quad. 
In Hogwarts Legacy the Astronomy tower is merged with this building to reduce the amount of stairs you have to climb and also to make the geometry of the DADA classroom work I think.

There isn't really much that they could for a large castle set or interior set. The primary castle places in order of the phoenix - excluding the great Hall- are Dumbledore's office, Umbridge's office, the DADA classroom, the Room of Requirement, and Snape's chamber for the Occulmency lessons. Dumble'sdore office is being done in the Main Tower set of this year. Likewise, Snape's chamber is probably out as there isn't much within the scene that distinguishes it from his classroom, which we have a set of ( unless they choose to take more book inspiration where it's more like his private office, if I remember correctly).  The room of requirement could be fitting for a room in a large Hogwarts section, but to my understanding, it's off of one of the hallways in the main tower, meaning it wouldn't be done. That just really leaves Umbridge's office  and DADA, depending on what structure they take place in.

Umbridges office would be a quite boring elemment of the set and the most relevant thing happening is the torture of minors. I doubt it become a relevant part. maybe some pink background and a few tiles with cat stickers.. DADA is by far the most boring year when Umbridge only let them read theoretical texts. I think we can be sure the class room will be based upon Lupins class from POA with Lockhard already present in the duelling club. I´d bet my money on the room of requirements. Interesting location, kid friendly and very few care, if it is placed differently.

To be fair, they did put an office for Professor McGonagall in the flying lesson set from this year. While it's part of the scene Lego is capturing, it's not a particularly interesting part. Also, Slugghorn's office, which was included in the astronomy tower, isn't that interesting. The kitten plates and pink detailing would be far more interesting, and if it needs a play feature, could always take reference from the part where Harry attempts to contact  Grimmald place. 

But yeah, her DADA classroom is boring and probably wouldn't make for a good set. Totally see them doing Lupin's. As for the room of requirement, this issue is that it was just done in 2023. Definitely, they will do it again, but imagine it would be combined with a part of the castle, mostly based on Half Blood Prince.
