Loving the New Hogwarts Castle System: LEGO® Harry Potter 76426 Boathouse & 76430 Owlery Review!

I totally agree with you on the wish to have to start crying about the beauty of all the sets together building the most detailed hogwarts yet. I really hope that i have to do that. If the castle setting will be so good indeed, it would totally be worth it.

Getting individual sections of Hogwarts to make the most detailed version of the castle in LEGO form yet sounds really exciting. When it comes to previous sets, we used to get random locations in Hogwarts sets such as the Owlery being placed on top of the Gryffindor dormitory in the Hogwarts Whomping Willow set from 2018, or the Astronomy tower on top of Lockhart’s office in the 2021 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets set, which in both cases, the placing of locations is quite inaccurate. However, we are now focusing accuracy when it comes to these Hogwarts sets, since the Owlery is actually a separate building from the rest of the castle in the films. Just to make a correction, that Filch minifigure from the Owlery set is the same as the one from the 2022 Dumbledore’s Office set but without the leg printing, which makes it a downgrade, although I suppose they wanted to keep some exclusivity to that minifigure form that Dumbledore’s Office set, and decided to include Filch in the Owlery set since he appeared in that scene in the books. The figure may unfortunately be a downgrade, and getting Mrs. Norris with him would’ve been great, but it makes the set the cheapest way to get Filch in a LEGO Harry Potter set, even though both this set and the boathouse are a bit overpriced. Since we are getting individual Hogwarts sections with a lot of detail for their sizes, it would be awesome to see a Hogwarts greenhouse as a standalone set. That set might include at least four students in Herbology uniforms, as well as Professor Sprout with both arm printing and back dress printing since they seem to be giving a lot of detail to these minifigures of Hogwarts professors in these sets. Of course, the greenhouse would be on top of a rocky section to fit with the rest of Hogwarts, but again getting a standalone Hogwarts greenhouse set with a lot of detail would be a dream come true. While we may have gotten a lot of Hogwarts sets before, I am excited to see how these newer versions of those older sets turn out.
