About this deal

You're in the mood for food? You're wanna go for a drink? Or just need some rest? No wish remains unfulfilled. Various white wedge plates and tiles adorn the roof, representing gathered snow. The design works nicely, surrounding a dormer window. The consistent angles between roof slopes seem authentic, while the narrow chimneys appear perfect for Hogsmeade. Textured roof tiles would have enhanced the building further, although these exposed studs are fairly successful. Listed Building Adjacent: 1187 EH Ref 1152642 Stucley House and Tossells House (Stucley House), Fore Street (east side), Chulmleigh We’re talking specifically about the LEGO Harry Potter video games, both of which feature Hogsmeade in levels and as a free play area, and both while covered in snowfall. In that sense, the deliberate design choice to plant 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit firmly in winter is both accurate to how we see the location portrayed on screen, and plays into the anniversary celebrations in an alternative – but no less welcome – way. — Characters —

Dean Thomas does incorporate an exclusive double-sided head, including two different smiles. The torso is also unique which is superb, albeit surprising because this design does not appear onscreen. I presume the element has been produced for another character, which has yet to be revealed. Nevertheless, it works nicely here and the medium legs are perfect.The scene it builds into does end up feeling better value for money, though, aided by three small sub-assemblies – a bench, lamppost and wanted poster – that breathe life into LEGO Hogsmeade. And while it may not be a true 20th anniversary set in the sense that it doesn’t draw on a specific 2001 release, 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit’s snowy décor does stoke slightly different flames of nostalgia. Burrington Radar Safeguard Area consultation required for: All buildings, structures, erections & works exceeding 45 metres in height. That's not at all what this was. I for example was in no way trying to encourage people to buy Mould King sets. The LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™ Chamber of Secrets (76389) playset is an impressive, collectible toy that is ideal for explorative play and display. That’s particularly true in Honeydukes, the ground floor of which offers a veritable cornucopia of colourful printed pieces to play with. It’s reminiscent of 75978 Diagon Alley’s interiors in all the best ways, right down to its tiled floor, and really does feel like a stepping stone to that larger 18+ build.

This magical, modular system lets kids aged 9 and up continue adding rooms to create an entire Hogwarts™ Castle. LEGO® Harry Potter™ toys contain favourite characters, amazing creatures and familiar locations from the popular movies. They’re an ideal gift for any child wanting to be part of the movie magic. Enter the Great Hall, decorated with with two long tables, Dumbledore’s golden-owl lectern and authentic accessories, such as the sorting hat. The LEGO Chamber of Secrets has an iconic circular entrance and a large statue with an opening mouth, revealing a corridor from where the Basilisk snake enters the room. This LEGO Harry Potter set also comes with a posable Basilisk, featuring opening jaws, a head section with 2 rotatable joints, and a tail comprising 3 reconfigurable parts to strike cool poses. This little inn is completely build out of the parts of set 76388 Hogsmeade Villige Visit (additionally some of the spare parts of the set). Honeydukes is among the most famous locations in Hogsmeade, serving various fascinating confections to Hogwarts students. This business is owned by Ambrosius Flume, whose new head looks absolutely superb. His friendly and weary expressions capture fantastic personality and I like the understated attire too, including an accurate striped scarf.

The same is true of the pub, which makes liberal use of fireplaces and candles to evoke the cosy feeling the real thing might present on a snowy winter’s day. These two-storey interiors are really the highlight of 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit, and undoubtedly the most entertaining parts of the build, which is otherwise disappointingly straightforward. Ambrosius' wife, known only as Mrs Flume, features brighter clothing. The lavender and pink colours are appealing, complemented by Mr Flume's hat. Additionally, I love the sweet pattern across her shawl. However, another head would have been appreciated because the example here is shared with Helga Hufflepuff and Molly Weasley, from past Harry Potter sets. This dark orange hair piece looks excellent though. For an initial outing into LEGO Hogsmeade, you could do much worse than 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit. Across 851 pieces, this 20th anniversary set (if only by association) boils down the approach of 75978 Diagon Alley into a model that’s more appropriately targeted for the wizarding world’s less iconic shopping destination. Madam Rosmerta and yet another brand new Professor McGonagall are the real highlights in terms of minifigure design, but there’s not really a duff character among the lot – especially if you’re still building your own army of Harrys, and especially if you’re collecting the golden 20th anniversary minifigures. — Price — After a long day at the local christmas market, travelers as well as villagers can now indulge themselves with the best food and drink in town! Subsequently they can enjoy a well-deserved night's rest in comfortable rooms upstairs.
