This is the first of several LEGO® sets that were made of the Hogwarts castle. Each set is of a different part of the castle so that when they are all built they will make the complete castle.
This set includes the entrance that Hagrid uses when he brings the first year students to Hogwarts, the dining hall which can be decorated for either Gryffindor or Slytherin (you get to choose which banner is displayed), the astronomy tower, the library, and the entrance to Gryffindor House.
This is a large set and it is very impressive! There are surprises to find and the play value is very high.
