Released for spring 2024, we have the first ever Lego Hogwarts boathouse.
The set contains 350 pieces and 5 minifigures, and once you have finished the build you will have two small boats and the boathouse.
Starting with the boats, for their size I think they are very good, and they make great use of the sausage piece in black as the light.
The boathouse itself is very impressive. Of course, they had to base it on the first film, since when it appears in the last film it is quite a dark scene, and as Lego is a family-friendly brand it is obvious why they chose to make it the way they did.
When building the boathouse, I noticed that the exit is too small for a standard minifigure to fit through, which could easily have been fixed. I do also like how much room there is to place the minifigures in the set, and the tree build is also very good, using the new fern elements.
As you may have seen on the box, this can connect to the most detailed Hogwarts Castle ever. Right now there are only four of these sets out, but more are coming in 2025.
Minifigures:
The set’s minifigure selection is strong, coming with an exclusive Professor McGonagall who now has arm printing and skirt printing, making this a 10/10 minifigure.
As for the student minifigures, they are all nearly identical, but this is a good way to get non-house torsos. In this set you get Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom and Dean Thomas. It is also important to note that Hermione uses a different set of legs from the rest.
Price and overall thoughts:
For £31.99 you are getting a location never before seen in Lego and a very good minifigure selection, and even if you already own a Hogwarts Castle I would still recommend this set.
As for price per part, you are paying £0.09 per piece, which is very good. Another thing is that you could probably find this set for between £20 and £25, making it even better.
