Harry Potter is Back!

Are you a Harry Potter fanatic?



Or, more to the point, do you know a Harry Potter fanatic?



If either of those two questions applies to you, do we have something nice!

The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit.

The Harry Potter phenomenon never dies, it just transforms into new buying opportunities.



So, LEGO came out with its Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit. The one being discussed here is LEGO 75954.



This page is devoted to coloring pages of the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit.



As the star of umpteen motion pictures and umpteen novels, Harry Potter needs no introduction. If you don't know who Harry Potter is, you're probably the only one in your particular town who doesn't.



In brief, Harry Potter is an apprentice magician who studies at a place called Hogwarts. The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit gives you the tools to build Hogwarts or, well, anything else that your mind can imagine.


LEGO has other building kits for the Harry Potter franchise. For instance, LEGO has the "Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets Aragog's Lair 75950 Building Kit," the "LEGO Minifigures Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts Building Kit," and the "LEGO Fantastic Beast's Grindelwald's Escape." But there are many others, and undoubtedly LEGO will come out with new ones.


The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit includes all sorts of fun materials with which to build a castle. It includes house banners, tower with movable spiral staircase, potions room and treasure room, among many other things.



Of course, it wouldn't be a Harry Potter product without mini-figures of the Harry Potter characters.



The Potter mini-figures include Harry Potter (of course), Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Susan Bones, Professor McGonagall, Professor Quirrell with dual Lord Voldemort face, Hagrid, Albus Dumbledore, and Nearly Headless Nick. Any fan of Harry Potter is probably going, "that's all?" But that's a lot of mini-figures.



Actually, that's not all. Also included are buildable Basilisk and Fawkes creatures, plus Hedwig and Scabbers figures.




Depending on how you build it, the Hogwarts Great Hall measures over 14” (37cm) high, 11” (30cm) wide and 7” (18cm) deep.



LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit is recommended for children between the ages of 9 and 14.



The kit includes a lot of small pieces, so it is inappropriate for very small children.




Both boys and girls should enjoy LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit.



If you have other LEGO products, you may combine them with the  LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit. You can build entire cities with enough sets.



The basic  LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit has 878 pieces.



Other building kits have different numbers of pieces, but they are usually around 700-800 pieces.



There are different versions of the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit.



This kit being discussed on this page is LEGO 75954.




Some people can build the entire set in about four hours. Unless you are an expert, however, count on it taking a lot longer.



There are a lot of fun details to the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit. The fun of these types of kits really is in the particular details that add a sense of uniqueness to each kit.


The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit includes tables, head table with seats, fireplace, 2 reversible house banners and 4 floating candles, food (turkey leg, ice cream and a small cake), brooms, trophy cup and a teapot.



The 4-level tower features a movable Grand Staircase with spiral steps at its base, potions room, treasure room with a chest, and a turret featuring the Mirror of Erised with changeable pictures and roosting spot for Fawkes.



You know who Fawkes is, right? Well, if you don't, your gift recipient will!


There also is a boat with a hanging lantern.

A fun thing to do is to put the students in the boat and sail them to Hogwarts castle.



Another fun thing to do is to have Hermione work with Susan to create some of her magical potions.


Hagrid and Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall can stand on the shore and greet the students as they cross over in the boat.


The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit can be combined with the Hogwarts Whomping Willow (75953) to make an even bigger gothic locale.


You can recreate famous scenes from the Harry Potter motion pictures using the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit.



In fact, recreating scenes is one of the best reasons to get the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit.



For example, you can gaze into the Mirror of Erised with Ron and change the picture.


Or, you can turn Quirinus Quirrell into Lord Voldemort by rotating his head!



Would you like to send Fawkes into battle and help Harry battle the giant Basilisk serpent? You can do that with the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit.


The accessory elements of the kit include 7 wands, 3 tumblers, an umbrella, lantern, broom, sorting hat, cauldrons, potions, candles, 2 wizard brooms, food, trophy, teapot, chest, and a spider.



If you are truly a Harry Potter expert, you know by now that the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit focuses on elements from the first two books.



And, of course, you know there are a whole lot more Harry Potter books than just two.


That gives you an indication of what future kits might focus on.



Instructions are included in the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit. If you are an expert with LEGO, you probably won't need them. But there are some tricky aspects to a major LEGO project like this.



Oh - you had better follow the instructions no matter how good you are with LEGO. Each element builds on the next, so if you do an early element wrong, you may have major issues later. Just a hint.



The mini-figures are the best part of the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit. Really, no matter how big or little a fan of Harry Potter you are, you want those mini-figures.



There's something about building actual structures of Harry Potter's world that focuses the mind. The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit promises to be an excellent backdrop to any kind of homage to Harry Potter.



Hogwarts castle is a fun thing to have set up in the basement or playroom to provide some atmosphere that you only have to dust once in a while.



There are reversible pieces that you can switch to give Hogwarts a different look every time that you build it.



If you are a veteran of the classic 2001-2002 sets or even the 2010-2011 sets, this Harry Potter building kit should bring back a lot of memories and stir your imagination.



The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit was released on 1 September 2018, so if anyone tells you they built it years ago, they are pulling your leg.



The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Building Kit is fresh and worth considering as a gift for the Harry Potter fanatic in your life!
