LEGO Hogwarts expansion

This design is meant to expand on the existing LEGO Hogwarts 71043 set to complete the profile of the castle while maintaining its scale, displayability, and playability.

 

If you already own the LEGO Hogwarts set and you would like to make it more comprehensive and awesome without breaking the bank, then this is for you!

 

Within the design I have included many parts that are already used in the other lego Harry Potter sets so if you own several of them (especially the astronomy tower set) you will find that your list of legos to buy is decreased considerably.

 

Features:

-The piece count is 5380 pcs, making it smaller than the base set.

-In order to pair this expansion with the base set very few changes need to be made and can be found in the file titled "71043 with expansion and edits". (they mainly consists of removing pieces and reconfiguring a small portion of the back of the roof above the library so that it can seamlessly accept a peg) optional changes are listed below.

-Optional changes to enhance interior esthetics: Hufflepuff common room is made so that it can easily be placed in the location of the old chamber of secrets, Myrtles bathroom has been moved to above the new antechamber of the chamber of secrets and has been replaced with the Gryffindor common room (rotational feature), the old antechamber of the chamber of secrets now holds the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room, the old location of the Gryffindor common room now houses the restricted section of the library, the room of requirement has now been moved to the 5th floor of the Astronomy Tower (rotational feature), in its place is a nondescript dungeon level room with a staircase.

-the astronomy tower is on a hinge so that it can be easily rotated out of the way to new the interior of the castle behind. it is aligned so that the antechamber of the chamber of secrets lies directly in front of the new location for the chamber of secrets.

Myrtles bathroom sink can be easily removed to reveal a hole that leads directly to the chamber beneath.

 

New rooms included in this design:

-Slytherin Common Room

-Ravenclaw Common Room

-Hufflepuff Common Room + entrance

-Astronomy classroom

-Divination classroom

-Charms classroom

-Transfiguration classroom

-Greenhouse classroom

-One-eyed witch statue room

-Hospital wing

-2 new staircases

-Restricted section of the library

-expanded antechamber to the chamber of secrets that includes the shedded skin of a basilisk

 

 

All bricks are existing bricks and can be purchased on bricklink or through other vendors that sell individual bricks (support local vendors whenever possible)
