I love Harry Potter (duh), so there’s a very special place in my heart for Harry Potter Lego sets. I decided to do a little sleuthing and found that there are a ton of really awesome Harry Potter Lego sets out there, but here are my picks for the absolute top ten.
10) The Graveyard Duel
The Harry Potter Graveyard Duel
is kind of creepy and in somewhat bad taste, since this is the duel from the Triwizard Tournament where Cedric Diggory got killed by Voldemort. So, uh, neat, but a bit awkward. Let’s move on.
9)Snape’s Class
Yay! It’s Snape’s Class! Even though I grudgingly like Snape by the end of the books, I still wouldn’t be averse to pinching his Lego head a few times - how about you?
The Sorting Hat
Okay, so how tempting would it be to put The Sorting Hat on Harry here and send him to some college fraternity at UCLA or something? Or maybe that’s just me.
7) Aragog
Oh, yes -let’s create an Aragog Lego set so we can continue the madcap adventures of a GIANT FREAKING SPIDER. Like we weren’t already all squigged out in the first place by this thing, NOW we’re going to build it out of Lego blocks. Most likely, this will be used to scare the daylights out of various little sisters.
6) Dumbledore’s Office
Now, here we go with Dumbledore’s Office, a super set that looks to be fairly complicated yet way worth the effort. You could even think of your own passwords in order to get in the thing, although you’d have to hide them from yourself so you wouldn’t figure them out…..yeah, that didn’t make any sense to me either. Hmmm. Cool set!
5) The Shrieking Shack
I always thought that the The Shrieking Shack sounded kind of like a 50’s doo-wop song. You know, like “let’s go down to the Shrieking Shack, we don’t know when we’ll ever be back, doo doo wop”.
4) Chamber of Secrets
So guess how many pieces the Chamber of Secrets set has? 600. Yep, just in this one set, there are 600 teensy little pieces. I think that’s probably the biggest appeal for me, even though I know within 20 minutes of breaking it open I’ll have lost at least 1/3 of those pieces.
3) Hagrid’s Hut
Hagrid’s Hut is cool for one reason and one reason only: it includes a mini-Hagrid figure AND (I realize this is two reasons, go with me) what looks to be a giant bear trap in the front of the hut. Awesome.
2) Quidditch
Show of hands, and let’s be honest here: how many of you would take the mini Draco Malfoy figure that is included in this Quidditch set and totally whack him over the head with a few Bludgers?
drumroll please AND THE BEST HARRY POTTER LEGO SET IS…..
1) Hogwarts Castle
Seriously, LOOK AT THIS THING. It’s Hogwarts, for pete’s sake. It’s got secret rooms and all sorts of kickass Lego stuff. I want to build it and put it on my coffee table and make everyone jealous of how awesome it is.
What’s your favorite Harry Potter Lego set? Let’s hear in the comments.
