25 craziest Harry Potter Lego creations
3. Rikdawg’s Hogwarts Castle Build
We found plenty of custom builds on YouTube, and this one definitely caught our attention. YouTube channel Rikdawg32 came up with this customized Hogwarts Castle after a six week build, and three different designs. At first, it looks like a massive facade of the witchcraft school, but turning it around shows an intricate world of all the goings-on around campus.
Rikdawg32 says this process was about the little details and “pleasing [his] very demanding kids,” so this castle had to be top notch. He started with the Lego set Hogwarts 4709 and was able to build from there. The facade can be separated into three distinct pieces in order to get maximum playability. In this video, he takes us on a tour of what else is going on behind the castle walls. We can peer inside the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw common rooms, the Herbology greenhouse, and with an utterance of “Lemon Drop,” we’re on our way to headmaster Dumbledore’s office. There’s also a few areas where it looks like he cut out prints of famous witches and wizards to adorn the castle walls.
Rikdawg32 is no stranger to custom Lego sets. On his YouTube channel, he also made a set where he’s expanding the Harry Potter universe in order to include King’s Cross in London, where Harry and his pals can hop the train to Hogwarts. He even made a faithful recreation of the Weasleys’ home The Burrow! He thinks his next venture will be to tackle the Ministry of Magic. You can find more Lego adventures on Rikdawg32’s channel here.
