About this deal

Next we went for a compact Hogwarts making use of the Hospital Wing’s ability to hinge in two places, creating three attached segments of 8×8, 8×16 and 8×24 studs. This arrangement looks a bit haphazard, but we’re just demonstrating what is possible. Upon discovering that somebody is attempting to seize the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and his friends enter the underground chambers to protect it. The minifigure features a familiar tousled hair component and his double-sided head is common as well, appearing in fifteen sets since 2018. This design remains effective, but an alternative would be appreciated. The full model measures 3 in. (8 cm) high, 5 in. (12 cm) wide and 2.5 in. (6 cm) deep and connects easily to LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™ Chamber of Secrets (76389) to double the fun. Fluffy was represented by a specialised component with extremely limited articulation during 2001, reflecting LEGO's method of depicting animals throughout that period. This design has been completely overhauled, hence the creature now consists primarily of standard elements. Only the heads are formed using specialised components, which look brilliant. LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™ Wizard’s Chess – LEGO fans can try their hand at the magical game to save the Philosopher’s Stone before using the pieces again and again to master the art of Muggle chess. Available exclusively from Target in the US, and LEGO.com and LEGO Stores globally.

Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter falls very clearly into that latter category, taking the premise of 4709 Forbidden Corridor – Fluffy the three-headed dog guarding a trapdoor above the Devil’s Snare – and remixes it into a modern-day build. But can a premise that seemed only slightly solid in 2001 hold its own in 2021? — Set details — Anniversary Hermione Granger is provided as well, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter. These golden designs appear suitably impressive, especially because the torso is decorated with metallic gold accents to complement the pearl gold plastic. The reverse displays the twentieth anniversary symbol, matching the other commemorative minifigures. LEGO® Harry Potter™ Fawkes, Dumbledore’s Phoenix – LEGO fans can capture the magical personality and graceful flight of Fawkes, the intelligent Phoenix from the Harry Potter films. Available exclusively from Target in the US, and LEGO.com and LEGO Stores globally.Next is a configuration that hinges the hospital wing in just one place, creating two towers with bases of 8×24 studs. Though the Great Hall no longer looks like itself at all, this setup looks decently Hogwarts-y (technical term). Finally, we really threw the modules together at random, creating two disconnected towers that hardly look good but could be something a kid playing around with the system cooks up.

Includes 3 minifigures: Harry Potter™, Hermione Granger™ and Ron Weasley™, and exclusive golden anniversary Hermione Granger™ minifigure More manuals of Lego Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 76387 Harry Potter Hogwarts Fluffy encounter This component is shared with the celebratory versions of Harry and Ron, available in 76386 Hogwarts: Polyjuice Potion Mistake and 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit, respectively. I would prefer completely distinct decorations, although the exclusive heads and hair elements assure sufficient variation between characters. Each minifigure is connected to a golden display base and carries a pearl gold wand. Now let’s start putting more modules together. In the configuration below, we’ve kept the sections we mentioned earlier together, with the Great Hall above the Chamber of Secrets, the Forbidden Corridor above the Devil’s Snare, and the bathroom above the chute down to the chamber. While the hospital wing does not belong on Hogwarts’ lowest level, achieving locational accuracy is neither the point of this system nor really a possibility at all, and this configuration looks surprisingly good to us.Neither of those layouts is ideal, which means you really need to combine this with both 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets and 76386 Hogwarts: Polyjuice Potion Mistake to make the most of what’s on offer. The set measures over 15.5 in. (40 cm) high, 15.5 in. (40 cm) wide and 4 in. (11 cm) deep and combines easily with other LEGO® Harry Potter™ sets for extra fun. Certain modules are also intended to specifically align with others, like the trap door in 76387 Hogwarts Fluffy Encounter sitting above the Devil’s Snare module also found in that set, or 76386 Hogwarts Polyjuice Potion Mistake ideally being placed above the module in 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets that contains the chute down to the eponymous chamber. LEGO® Harry Potter™ toys contain favourite characters, amazing creatures and familiar locations from the popular movies. They’re an ideal gift for any child wanting to be part of the movie magic. Additionally, the heroes wear casual clothes when entering the underground chambers during the movie, although their Hogwarts robes are worn upon initially encountering Fluffy. However, the presence of all three characters is welcome, completed with Hermione Granger. As usual, her hair piece looks marvellous and each minifigure wields an appropriate dark brown, reddish brown or dark tan wand.

In this article we’ll be taking a look at integrating the modules of 76398 Hogwarts Hospital Wing with those found in 76386 Hogwarts Polyjuice Potion Mistake, 76387 Hogwarts Fluffy Encounter, and 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets. The colours work nicely, particularly the grey linking to the Chamber of Secrets (even if the Devil’s Snare should lead somewhere else in-universe), but it’s a shame that same visual flow across this wave doesn’t extend to the narrative within the standalone 76387 Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter.

Join the conversation about this product

LEGO® building kits meet rigorous industry quality standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart perfectly every time – it’s been that way since 1958. LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™: Polyjuice Potion Mistake – Builders can join Harry, Ron and Hermione as they brew the powerful Polyjuice potion in Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom and transform as they gulp the potion. Don’t forget to explore the hidden tunnel beneath the sink.

Even across these initial builds, there were already some idiosyncrasies and shortcomings present: for instance, the door section of 76395 Hogwarts First Flying Lesson doesn’t follow these rules, and the Chamber of Secrets module has a bit of Great Hall interior attached to it, making it awkward on the interior to attach anything other than the Great Hall module. Includes 3 minifigures: Harry Potter™, Hermione Granger™ and Ron Weasley™, and an exclusive, golden anniversary Severus Snape™ minifigure Finally, here are the two Hospital Wings closer together. The side tables and lamps share some design features, while the beds are entirely different and even a different colour, with the older set using sand green bedding. LEGO® components are dropped, heated, crushed, twisted and analysed to make sure they satisfy stringent global safety standards. It seems bizarre beyond the context of the set’s otherwise empty third-floor corridor, however, and therefore in any potential play scenario that doesn’t involve cramming the pooch into that confined space. A separate set of interchangeable heads would have worked much better, even if it did bump the price up ever so slightly.The set measures over 12 in. (30 cm) high, 7.5 in. (19 cm) wide and 2.5 in. (7 cm) deep and connects easily to other LEGO® Harry Potter™ sets. Includes 3 minifigures: Neville Longbottom™, Draco Malfoy™ and Madam Hooch minifigures, and an exclusive, golden anniversary Professor Quirrell minifigure.
