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). LEGO® building kits satisfy rigorous industry quality standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart perfectly every time – it’s been that way since 1958. I appreciate the addition of a lesser-known Hogwarts student here, along with Harry. These two characters both include dark brown wands, matching their previous appearances. Various other accessories are scattered throughout the Hogsmeade buildings. 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 thistle on the reverse seems particularly appropriate, given its association with Scotland. Madam Rosmerta also features a unique torso and her medium nougat hair looks wonderful, accurately reflecting the original character. However, this head appears quite regularly and an alternative design would have been preferable, avoiding this unnecessary angry expression.
Listed Building Adjacent: 1185 EH Ref 1106715 The Old Bank House, Alliance Building Society and Lloyds Bank, Fore Street, (east side), Chulmleigh Contrasting with The Prisoner of Azkaban, where every roof is completely covered with snow, this model features comparatively few white accents. I think this arrangement looks appealing though, permitting easy removal of snow for different seasons. Additionally, these mismatched windows throughout the upper levels recreate an important feature from the original building. Includes an exclusive, golden Voldemort™ minifigure to celebrate 20 years of magic with LEGO® Harry Potter™. Also includes 6 random wizard card tiles for kids to collect (16 in total).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. The set measures over 15.5 in. (40 cm) high, 15.5 in. (40 cm) wide and 4 in. (11 cm) deep and combines easily with other LEGO® Harry Potter™ sets for extra fun.
In addition to consultations with the consultee listed, we will publicise the application in accordance with national requirements and our local policy. Numerous delightful buildings populate Hogsmeade, including the famed Honeydukes sweet shop. This structure appears relatively small and measures 17cm in height, excluding the two chimneys. Nevertheless, I think the scale seems appropriate and the shape certainly achieves wonderful realism, with dramatic roofs which are designed to lessen the accumulation of snow.Hogsmeade appears frequently throughout the Harry Potter story, although this famed location remains notably underrepresented in LEGO sets. 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit therefore seems appealing, particularly because these structures capture appropriate charm. The upper floor remains unexplored during the movies, unlike the basement which is linked to Hogwarts through a hidden passageway. I believe the designer has therefore taken inspiration from the basement when filling the chamber, which houses several accessories. These include a yellow Honeydukes box, resembling those shown during The Prisoner of Azkaban. Burrington Radar Safeguard Area consultation required for: All buildings, structures, erections & works exceeding 45 metres in height. Of course, Harry Potter is included in the box. He is joined by his best mate Ron Weasley, who is designed as a golden anniversary figure in this set. The residents of Hogsmeade include Ambrosius Flume and his wife. Both run the inn together. They also live in the apartment on the first floor. Even Madame Rosmerta, the pretty owner of Honeydukes, is one of the party. Not only does Potter's classmate Dean Thomas buy sweets from her, but Professor McGonagall features as well. As a little surprise there are 4 magical trading cards also in this box. A total of 16 map copies are in circulation. The comparatively small LEGO Harry Potter set can also be assembled by school children. The instructions are very well explained and the attention to detail in this set can be seen. LEGO Harry Potter Sets 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 —
Listed Building Adjacent: 1192 EH Ref 1106717 Homeleigh House (Gilsons), Fore Street, (west side), ChulmleighHoneydukes owners Mr. Flume and Mrs. Flume are the kind of obscurities you’d never expect to see in minifigure form, but they’re totally in-keeping with the video game vibe this set gives off (having both appeared as playable characters in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4). They’re not the most exciting characters, but for veteran collectors they’re more welcome than, say, another Ron and Hermione. (Although Ron does appear anyway, just cast in gold.) It’s only a little, though, because by the time it’s assembled you won’t regret laying down the dosh for a build that seems readymade for expanding – whether through an existing Winter Village display, or in using it as a starting point for your own lesser-spotted Hogsmeade buildings. — Pictures — 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.
