Beloved fictional character Harry Potter just recently turned 38 years old and it looks like now is the perfect time for LEGO to launch a new set dedicated to everyone’s favorite wizard franchise. Yes, as you’ve read in the headline, the toy company has a new Hogwarts Castle set – and it’s pretty massive.

As expected, Potterheads everywhere are going nuts for this collectible composed of 6,020 pieces of LEGO bricks. It’s definitely a must-have for fans who have the money and time to build such a huge playset.

Instead of going to Hogwarts, you can now take it home with you!

Furthermore, we are told that the set “includes 4 minifigures: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin and Rowena Ravenclaw, with a buildable minifigure display stand.”

The box also features 27 microfigures namely “Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Albus Dumbledore, Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, Remus Lupin, Professor Dolores Umbridge, Argus Filch, Lord Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, 3 students from each of the 4 houses, 2 chess pieces and the Architect of Hogwarts statue and 5 Dementors, plus Aragog the spider and the Basilisk figures, and a buildable Hungarian Horntail dragon.”
