Back To Hogwarts: Lego Set No. 76410 Slytherin House Banner

I got this set for my birthday and after building it, simply forgot to post!

Sooo, as it turns out I am a Slytherin. No denying, no back-trackin', no excuses. In a couple of those fun little surveys on facebook (aka Meta), I even come out as Voldemort! 😧😮😄 I'm not used to Lego kits and this one gave me a bit of grief. I thought there were missing parts but it turns out they were there all along - I just didn't recognize them for what they were as illustrated in the instruction manual. After taking all the photos I also noticed a couple of subassemblies weren't placed in the correct positions on this mini-diorama, but hey, I know now. The floors are printed scans from a Built-Rite (Warren Paper Products) fort. I'll include those here if you'd like to use them. Enjoy! Ed - The Good Slytherin

You can hang this on the wall and display it as one of the four Hogwarts House banners, or open it up into a mini-diorama

The interior (sans figures and furniture)

All set up and fixin' to manage some mischief!

Back To Hogwarts: A Sweet Gift, Lego's Set No. 76400 Hogwarts Carriage and Thestrals (2022) - Pt 3 FINAL

Here's what came of the photo shoot with my new Harry Potter Lego set. I love it and now am thinking of picking up maybe one or two (or three, or four, or...) more sets! LOL Enjoy! Opa Fritz

The Quibbler is of course the newspaper Luna's dad publishes

Okay - I have to admit I goofed here: You'll notice Luna is holding The Quibbler right side up but she normally reads it upside down! Sorry - force of habit on my part, I mean, I'm not in the habit of reading newspaper's upside down myself.

You can remove the harness piece from Momma Thestral and replace it with one of the extra bricks included so that she can be posed without that thing hanging from here. However, I didn't do that this time around.

Back To Hogwarts: A Sweet Gift, Lego's Set No. 76400 Hogwarts Carriage and Thestrals (2022) - Pt 2

My grand daughter and I spent a nice evening assembling this set. She assembled the tree while I tackled the carriage and figures. She struggled a bit because she's not used to reading instruction manuals or Legos, but she came through like a champ. I struggled a bit trying to read the instructions upside down! LOL (the booklet was facing my grand daughter while I sat across the kitchen table from her trying to read it upside down). In the end, it all turned out just fine. After these photos were taken, I took another series of pics in my own Harry Potter forest, but that'll be another post. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

You can pose the Thestral without the hitch by taking the hitch piece off and replacing it with a small brick which is included in the set
