Hogwarts™ Castle: Flying Lessons – Master the Skies and the Arts of Transformation
This addition to the modular Hogwarts collection captures the high-flying energy of Harry’s first steps toward becoming a Seeker. The Hogwarts™ Castle: Flying Lessons (76447) is a 651-piece adventure set that focuses on the athletic and transformative side of wizarding education.
Designed for fans aged 9 and up, this set features a unique fold-out design and specialized play functions that let you recreate the iconic moment Neville Longbottom’s broom goes rogue or Madam Hooch’s first lesson on the pitch.
From the Pitch to the Classroom
The Flying Lessons set is built for action, offering several distinct locations within the castle walls:
-
The Quidditch™ Equipment Room: Store your brooms and Beater bats, and prepare for the next match.
-
Transfiguration Classroom: Features a dedicated “Transfiguration function” to mimic the magical changes taught by Professor McGonagall.
-
The Trophy Room: A place of honor for Hogwarts’ greatest achievers, featuring the perfect spot to display your 2 of 14 collectible Hogwarts portraits.
-
McGonagall’s Office: A detailed space for the Head of Gryffindor House, located conveniently near the classrooms.
A Lineup of Fan-Favorite Flyers
The set includes 6 essential minifigures, providing everything needed to role-play the legendary “Rememberall” chase from The Sorcerer’s Stone:
-
The Students: Harry Potter™, Neville Longbottom™ (with his Remembrall), and Draco Malfoy™.
-
The Experts: Madam Hooch (ready for flight instruction), Professor McGonagall™, and Gryffindor Quidditch Captain Oliver Wood.
-
Dynamic Play: The set includes specialized broom-flying functions that allow you to “levitate” and move the characters through the air.
Who Is This Magical Build For?
The Aspiring Seeker: This is the ultimate set for fans who love the sport of Quidditch. If your favorite parts of the films are the broomstick chases and the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin, this set provides the mechanical “flying” functions to bring those scenes to life.
The Classroom Architect: For those building out a complete “Day in the Life of a Student” display, this set adds two critical academic locations: Transfiguration and the Flight training grounds. It bridges the gap between the dark dungeons and the high towers of the castle.
The Action-Focused Player: Because the building folds out and the rooms (Quidditch and Transfiguration) pull out entirely, this set is perfect for those who want a “dollhouse-style” access to their models. It’s designed for hands-on play and easy interior access.
