Ep. 184 - Before You Buy the NEW Hogwarts Castle Expansions…This Episode is a MUST!

Before the NEW Hogwarts Castle expansion arrives… we need to talk about the LEGO Harry Potter giant that started it all. Back in 2018, LEGO released set 71043 Hogwarts Castle, a set so massive it instantly became one of the most legendary builds ever created. At the time, it was the second-largest LEGO set in history. Even now in 2026, it still stands as the BIGGEST Harry Potter set ever made. And with LEGO about to launch the brand-new Hogwarts Castle: East Wing on June 1st, the big question becomes… Is the original castle STILL the ultimate Hogwarts experience? We’re diving into: 🧙 The insane size and detail of the 6,000+ piece castle 🧙 Rare minifigures and microfigures that collectors still chase today 🧙 Dragons, hidden rooms, magical callbacks, and one ridiculously long build experience 🧙 How the old castle compares to LEGO’s new modular Hogwarts system 🧙 Whether the original is still worth buying in 2026 before retirement 🧙 And how four new castle sets together now cost MORE than the original masterpiece Plus… I revisit the VERY FIRST YouTube video I ever uploaded back in 2018, when I built this monster for 13 straight hours. 😅 If you’re a LEGO Harry Potter fan, collector, or just love massive display sets, this is going to be a nostalgic trip through one of LEGO’s most iconic creations. Is 71043 still the greatest Hogwarts Castle LEGO has ever made… or has the new system finally surpassed it?
