Product Description

The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle Boathouse (76426) set allows fans to build the iconic boathouse and dock area from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The set is designed to be a faithful recreation, with details like hanging lanterns, a rocky exterior, and a small cave.

The main build is the boathouse itself, which has a dock area where the students can disembark from their boat. The most exciting feature is the light brick, which illuminates the boathouse's interior with a warm, glowing light, adding a magical touch to the scene. The set includes a small, detailed boat that can hold two minifigures and their luggage.

The set also comes with five key minifigures, including the main trio of Harry and Hermione (in their first-year robes), along with Professor McGonagall to welcome them. This allows for great role-playing and storytelling opportunities. The set's modular design means you can easily connect it to other sets, like the Hogwarts Great Hall, to build a more complete and impressive Hogwarts Castle display.

Useful Guide

• Building Instructions: The set comes with a detailed paper instruction booklet. For a more interactive building experience, you can use the LEGO Builder app, which provides 3D digital instructions, allowing you to zoom, rotate, and track your progress.

• Light Brick Activation: The light brick is a key feature. Make sure you understand how to activate it (usually by pressing a button or tile) to get the full magical effect. The light brick often comes with batteries pre-installed.

• Connecting with Other Sets: The set is designed with specific connection points. Look for Technic pins or clips that allow you to seamlessly attach the boathouse to other Hogwarts sets in the same series. The instructions for other sets often show how they connect.

• Play and Display: The set is great for both play and display. You can use the minifigures to recreate scenes from the movie, or simply display the beautifully built boathouse as part of your larger Hogwarts collection.

• Storage and Care: As with all LEGO sets, store the model away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. To clean, use a soft brush or a dry cloth to gently remove dust.
