LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) Review

5:09 the Ravenclaw badger ... excuse me what, did I hear that right. great video by the way and a lot of fun was had during the build streams of this.

“Long have I waited.” This look so beautiful, I wish I had the money to buy it. Thanks for reviewing it. I really want to cobble together some rock work, and when I get the astronomy tower which should be soon I will have all the 2018-2020 hogwarts sets. Then I want to try and make something somewhat like this.

This set is stunning I still have it in my backlog from Christmas 2020 and the only thing putting me off isms having limited space in my flat. I think it will become a side table.

I love having this set on display! My only problem with it is that the two halves don't really snap together... I know that it makes it easier to move the whole build but when I want to just shuffle it slightly I hate that the two halves don't actually connect. Otherwise a real fantastic set! No regrets even buying full price for me!

I love micro-scale builds, so this is very tempting! Great review!

So happy you finished it Holly! I worked on mine on breaks while working from home on my last job (Expedia… who decided to close our office after we finished the thousands of customers travel issues due to the pandemic… 🙄😒) I have it on display proudly top of one of my shelves. I have the entire Harry Potter LEGO collection displayed beneath and on a second shelf sitting kitty corner to it… who will have the giant Hogwarts icons set on top of it next… which leaves me to figure out what to do with my 2018/2019 Hogwarts great hall/astronomy tower and the entirety of the 2021 anniversary Hogwarts sets lol. This Hogwarts set though… I’ll always be in love with it. I put my sweat and tears into it (possibly blood too… some pieces definitely scratched me while trying to connect or put in the tiny details). I will always treasure it. Plus my boyfriend put in half for it so it makes me think of him always too. (Who I do plan to marry once I get a new job and can buy a ring… we are already 6 years together!)

Just ordered this set yesterday. Beyond excited for it to come in!

Its a good day when holly uploads

Despite it being incomplete it still looks beautiful on top of my 6 ft shelf. It's also my biggest set with razor crest coming in second so I treat it well.

I love the front page where it looks like your in a LEGO box. Keep up the great work

I bought it today in Disney Springs lego store in Orlando after Someone nearly bought it, im so happy even though i just spended 509 dollars

My favorite set! I wanna buy another just to experience it again!

I really want this set now. And a light kit for it

I almost bought this a few months ago before I found out about the stickers. Those will eventually tear or peel, and if you don't get them on properly the first try, then you have to remove & reapply them, which weakens the glue. And those micro figures...If you drop one, you might never see it again! I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and it all looks so great, but I just can't defend dropping what would cost me nearly $500 after tax & shipping for something that could've gotten some more love in design.

I had this set for almost a year and finally finished it. I'm working on diagon alley now. Then maybe I'll finish the Disney castle lol.

So pretty

I'm feeling Holly's pain. I did the exact same with this set. I bought it last summer at the Lego store because I was afraid it would be retired and now you can get it for like £100 less at other places

That is a cool reivew and a really long build

Agree on everything--especially the house panels--those should have been printed. Love the minifigs--and it's easy enough to order the new Gryffindor sword from BrickLink. (I wonder if LEGO Customer Service would mail one if you called and asked)

Great Review.
