I am not quite sure I understand how that set would connect to Whomping Willow... Top left of the image: https://brickset.com/sets/75954-1 Quote
nolanfan34 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Ah, thanks. I had not seen that image. The basilisk is underwhelming, but that Nearly Headless Nick figure is outstanding! 1 Quote

My wife is a fan and we're planning to go to Universal Studios, so it looks like the perfect storm for me to get into HP...especially as I'm getting worn down by Disney Star Wars. ...and the fact that my kids will probably into it when they get older. At what age do kids get into HP? I think at just about any age you can get into the HP movies. In the first movie they're like 11 or 12 so you see this things from there perspective so it's great for kids. Each movie represents each year at Hogwarts so you see them growing up and as the series progresses it becomes more geared towards older audiences and even gets kinda dark. I was very fortunate as I was 11 when the first movie came out so me and my friends grew up with the characters so it was really cool to be the perfect age to get into it. Quote
longshot Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 I am so meh on the new castle, the scale is very off putting........... And the basilisk is just bad. I do think its a good base for a MOC but will require a cpl sets the flush out the scale of the hall. Quote

fuzzy_bricks Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 The Elves Banner at LEGO Shop at Home has a Harry Potter picture in it. I assume this is the fine work of their IT department. via The Brick Fan https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Elves-Sets 2 1 Quote

Phil B Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Love this hogwarts express! I need 2 at least, to make the engine a bit longer and to have more carriages. 3 Quote
t_mafia Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I'm a fan for sure! Whomping willow is not as big as I hoped but the castle part makes up for it. Train looks a bit small but the station is a huge bonus. And the Quidditch set is a big upgrade from the previous sets. 1 Quote

Unkar’s Thug Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I might need that new rat in Hogwarts Express! A Bricklink order might be coming... Quote
Loghamel Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Couple things I noticed; has there ever been a LEGO Snitch before? And are those black 1x1s spose to be the bludgers? Too bad they couldn't spring for 2-3 4290713 ball joints like they did in 4737. Probly going to have to BL those. 1 Quote
SLL Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 train is short, station looks ok but a bit thin. this is apparently the buy 2 get 1 complete case 1 Quote
DarthBall Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Will it be possible to connect the Hogwarts from the whomping willow set to the other hogwarths castle set? Quote

Connect, not sure, but they "go together", per the press release from the castle set. They may simply align "next" to each other. Seems like LEGO finally got the memo about forgoing a $200 set for 2 $100 or less sets that can be combined or remain stand-alone. 1 Quote

From my understanding the Great Hall, Whomping Willow set, and D2C Castle can be connected, but that could be wrong. There hasn't even been any news about the "big" castle so who knows if that is even still happening Quote
