LEGO Harry Potter 12 Grimmauld Place 76408 Building Toy Set for Kids, Girls, and Boys Ages 8+ (1,083 Pieces)

Product Information

In this set, she comes with an extra hair piece, so she can can have either red or lavender coloured hair. Some 2×2 corner triangle tiles make even fully covered areas nicely polished, but also make sure that there is nothing for the opening and closing mechanism to catch on. Grimmauld Place by contrast has a much more varied build, though it too has some repetitive features. The hiding function is a massive thing for play in and of itself, while the interior also has pretty good room for play, but some cramped spaces and rooms that lack enough available floor space bring this score down.

That mechanism is probably one of the things I’ve been looking most forward to build, so that’s a good start. With bag 4, we continue with the ground floor, adding it for the houses numbered 11 and 13, while the interior behind still belongs to number 12. Tonks comes with an alternate piggy face and red hairpiece to demonstrate her magical abilities, and her regular face looks much more Tonks-like than her previous one. Though only Kreacher makes a first appear in the line, this is the second 2018- appearance for many: Tonks, Mrs Weasley, Kingsley, plus the first appearance outside of Azkaban clothing for Sirius. The Ministry's sections are modular, meaning they can be rearranged like in the image below, or in further different ways.Being a Metamorphmagus, Tonks could change her appearance at will, and often changed her hair colour depending on her mood. Neither seems quite a match for her movie appearance, though the texture and color of these legs match her skirt fairly well. The aforementioned lampposts are missing from the onscreen location, but serve an important purpose. The character's miserable expression is absolutely perfect and his hooked nose clearly distinguishes this House Elf from Dobby, whose outlook is usually more optimistic.

If you’re going to represent Grimmauld Place, there’s one key feature: how do you represent how it only appears to those who know the secret? This also originates from The Deathly Hallows, as the heroes listen for news about Death Eater attacks. With Bag 6 and 7 we build the first and second floors of numbers 13 and 11 respectively, details on the interior include bedrooms and a room with Sirius Black’s family-tree tapestry. I dislike this combination of green shades and yellow stripes, although the gaudy design corresponds with the movie!

For the first two bags of the build, we created the base which has the mechanism (two angled technic beams) for Number 12 to appear with a simple and effective sliding action.Once again, that replicates the source material because the street level façades are constructed using decorative stone. Hanging on the wall is a painting of the Black family crest, and opposite it, a still life of a cup or chalice with some grapes and a skull. In the films, Grimmauld Place is the same colour as the surrounding town houses, but for a toy and display piece I think making it stand out with a distinct colour scheme was a good choice. As a theme, LEGO Harry Potter has been delivering some stand-out LEGO sets in recent years and it is pretty clear that 76408 12 Grimmauld Place is the latest such creation.
