It is 25 years since Harry Potter debuted within the LEGO portfolio, with a collection of sets that were intended to adapt the books, but switched to focusing on the movies once the franchise was in production for the silver screen.
Over the past few years, it has been a theme focused on variety and innovation. While it still offers minifigure models, it also offers a range of sets at different scales and with different purposes. Some are more play orientated, while others are more display friendly.
40975 Mini Hogwarts Castle is definitely on the display end of the spectrum and demonstrates how you can use LEGO bricks in clever ways at micro scale. Various cone and horn element depict the castle’s spires, while candle pieces and 1×1 round bricks present the towers.
