Pfft, no wonder they have a sale for buy one get one 50% off lego sets. What's the difference if they marked up the prices anyway?

Sorry, I should've been more specific, since I haven't gotten the new set yet but Lego.com had the instructions, I wanted to see if I could build the new Hogwarts with the pieces of the old one. I looked over the pieces and it looks like I could make the Great Hall only but it would be missing the windows haha!

Just curious, has anyone tried to build the new Hogwarts Castle with the old sets? I am going to attempt but some pieces are unique or rare that this might be a fail attempt. XD When it was announced there would be a "Battle for Hogwarts" set, I immediately thought of the first Deathly Hallows poster of Hogwarts with flames. I imagined the set was going to be of Hogwarts with missing roofs and crumbled walls. Thank goodness Lego did not do this. I don't want to display the new Hogwarts with crumbling walls LOL!

To those hoping for a Chamber of Secrets set, Deathly Hallows Part 2 will actually feature the scene (only mentioned in the book) where Ron and Hermione collect the basilisk fangs and destroy the Hufflepuff Cup. So, maybe Lego will decide to bring back this set.

Interior of BFH! I see another cabinet with a mirror on it and a knob on the bridge. http://toyfair11.asmzine.com/gallery/lego/harry-potter/slides/IMG_5723.html

I think the two towers for the Battle for Hogwarts set are two halves of one. If you look closely, they each have a hinge.
