During the underground section of the level, there is a point where you need to magic three items in front of the correct face. To the left of that puzzle is a dark magic boulder. Destroy it with a dark wizard for the token. Head through the cavernous area at the start of this stage, blasting spiderwebs as you go. There are ten of them. Be careful not to miss the one on the underside of the ledge as you are moving platforms to cross a wide gap, and closely monitor the walls in general as you continue toward the right. When you use a weight to bring down a drawbridge, also look to the lower right, as that web is particularly easy to miss seeing unless you're paying close attention. When you destroy all of the webs, further to the right before climbing a ladder out of the area, you'll receive a House Crest fragment.
From the beginning of the level, there are ten spiderwebs that need to be destroyed in the underground section. The only difficult one to spot is on the side of the pillar between the magically moved purple platforms. 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 — While the smaller sets in the 20th anniversary wave are mostly content to rely on the iconic trio plastered on this year’s boxes, 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit leans into the new territory it represents as a set in its minifigure selection, too, bringing us three brand new characters among its seven-strong line-up. Begin your journey with the Hogwarts Express™ - Collectors' Edition (76405), crafting an impressive 1:32 scale replica of the iconic steam engine complete with authentic details and classic scenes from multiple Harry Potter movies in each carriage.At the end of the level, before you enter the tavern, go towards where the snowball ended up and you’ll see a strong pull-lever to the left of it. Pull it and the snowball will fly off, revealing the crest. 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. Fight against the fearsome Basilisk, learn how to make enchanting elixirs in the Potions master's classroom, or even put your wizarding skills to the test by taking part in the infamous Triwizard Tournament™! Make a stop at the picturesque village of Hogsmeade™ with the Hogwarts Express™ & Hogsmeade™ Station (76423) toy playset, before heading up to the castle for more magical adventures. From exploring the Hogwarts™ Astronomy Tower (75969) with Harry and his classmates, to venturing deep below the castle into the mysterious Chamber of Secrets (76389), there’s no end to where your imagination can take you.
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. 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 — The video will show you what is required to 100% the level with additional detail below for each part. Each level of the core story requires you to collect the following: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.
