The target children are between the ages of eleven and eighteen. In the Scottish highlands, the school aimed to train and nurture budding witches and wizards. Rowling finished the first series in 1995. Then, after several rejections, Barry Cunningham, an editor for Bloomsbury, gave her the nod. Finally, in June 1997, Bloomsbury released the first 1000 copies. Out of this initial print, libraries received 500 copies. brown owl with brown envelope, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Owl Hedwig Hogwarts, Harry Potter, fauna, bird, feather png 1755x1888px 1.43MBThe entire wall and archway structure is assembled upside down and attached to the platform using Technic axles. The resultant shape looks brilliant, faithfully replicating the architecture of Kings Cross Station. Some gaps are visible between the 2x2 tiles, although they are small and likely unavoidable. Spherical light fixtures flank the central arch, again corresponding with the films. The strengthening rods beneath the carriage are similarly authentic, but the proportions of the windows leave something to be desired. While large windows offer a good view of the interior, they appear much too long, in relation to the onscreen passenger carriages. I understand the desire to present the interior, but I would have preferred more accurate windows. In 1827, Ottaline Gambol rose to the office of Minister for Magic, and she made a daring and controversial suggestion to solve the ages-old problem of how to transport hundreds of students to and from Hogwarts Castle every school year without attracting the Muggles' attention. Accessed by entering a trapdoor in the forbidden corridor on the third floor, and protected by a gauntlet of seven magical challenges set up by the teachers.

Their names: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff. Their last names give custom identities to the four houses in the school. A passage beneath the one-eyed witch statue by the stairs to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, leading to the cellar of Honeydukes. Speaking aloud the word 'Dissendium' to the witch allows access to this passage; the hump on the statue then opens and reveals the hidden passageway. Rowling, J. K. (2000).

The entrance to the Hufflepuff dormitories and common room entrance is concealed in a pile of large barrels in an alcove in the corridor that holds the kitchen. To enter, one must tap the barrel two from the bottom in the middle of the second row in the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff". Unlike any other house, the Hufflepuff common room has a repelling device that douses the illegal entrant in vinegar if the wrong lid is tapped or the rhythm is wrong. [15] The Hufflepuff common room is filled with yellow hangings and fat armchairs and it has little tunnels leading to the dormitories, all of which have perfectly round doors, like barrel tops. [16] Ravenclaw Since this set was revealed it has been interesting to see all the complaints about the size and it not being Lego standard size, but basically nothing about the fact that this is almost exactly G scale - a standard scale in model trains that predates Lego's selection of their standard rail guage (the distance between the rails). As for the passenger car, it should indeed have been longer, but it still looks pretty great. The windows don't really bother me, it's more the doors that look a bit smallish. As for the coupling distance: while it does look nice and close, the buffer should be right against each other. In real trains there are springs inside to keep them like that in curves, only in toy/model trains there just has to be some distance to keep them from derailing. Hogwarts has a mysterious logo that mirrors the era it began. It also evokes the core values of the founders. The Hogwarts logo is a shield divided into four. They stand for the houses in the school. Also, they represent each founder and the students’ faculty. Gryffindor is the house Harry Potter belonged to. He was the main character in the story. The Gryffindor house uses a lion mascot. It’s a yellow figure on a red field. The lion is at the upper left corner of the crest. Importantly, disciples here are bold, noble, fearless, and bright. These qualities are also symbolic of its founder, Godric Gryffindor.

The Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff torsos got new Element ID numbers because the hands are different colors. In 76389 , Luna was the Ravenclaw, and Justin the Hufflepuff." The realistic proportions between the locomotive and tender are among the greatest strengths of this model, particularly because other LEGO trains have sometimes struggled in that regard. Fortunately, this example appears perfect and viewing the vehicle from either side also reveals its authentic wheel arrangement. And one minor but understandable flaw: all of the smaller wheels on the train are the smaller size driving wheels, with a hole for the side rods, but also a counterweight. This most visible at the pilot wheels, as on the tender and carriage they are somewhat obscured.
