4723- Diagon Alley Shops




This set is by far my favorite of the three two-scene sets produced for the first Harry Potter movie.  So many accessories!  The only thing that would make this set better is if I had the cardboard background that first came with it.






Along with lovely Hermione, we get a wizard accessory/potions shop and an animal/wand shop.  Much can be left up to the imagination as to what some of the items in the shops actually are.

4722- Gryffindor House




This is the second of the two-scene 2001 Harry Potter sets, and again while I don't have the cardboard background that originally came with it, it's still a lovely little set.














One of the areas of the Gryffindor House is a small common room and the other is a sleeping quarter.

4721- Hogwarts Classrooms


Lego made three of these two-scene Harry Potter sets in 2001.  Great alternative to having to buy a full castle or larger set, but I can't help but notice that the colour scheme in these sets are very different from the rest.  The colours used seem very similar to the current Friends theme and I wonder (and now presume) if these were targeted towards girls.  The sets also come with a cardboard background of the area in question, which I sadly don't have.

4842- Hogwarts Castle

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and ever since the Harry Potter sets came out in 2001, I wanted a Hogwarts Castle.  So, I'm happy I was able to snag this final version of the full castle before The Lego Group retired it.  There are ten different minifigures included and the castle is composed of four sections that can be joined together in variety of ways.  See below for several alternate pictures.











The rooms/areas in the castle are: Vanishing Cabinet, Library, Astronomy Tower, Owlery, Slytherin Common Room, Statue, Gryffindor Common Room, The Great Hall, Dumbledore's Office with moving staircase on the lower level, and Sorting Hat.
