Nintendo Switch and hand sanitizer aren’t the only items that’ve been tough to find in stock during the pandemic. Many of the more sought-after LEGO sets have also vanished from retailer shelves. If you could use an advanced brick-building project while you’re stuck at home, you’ll want to check this out. After being impossible to find for months, LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle just came back in stock at Amazon.
At $399 it’s a pricy proposition, but there’s a reason it costs that much. This thing is a beast, ringing in at 6,020 pieces. That makes it the second-largest LEGO set ever released, only behind the massive Millennium Falcon (which costs considerably more).

This Hogwarts Castle set originally came out in 2018 and includes all kinds of wizardly details and interactive elements. Inside the castle you’ll find offices, classrooms, towers, and walls filled with unique stain-glassed windows. It also houses famous areas like the Great Hall and the serpent-infested Chamber of Secrets.
As for the castle grounds, you can build Hagrid’s hut and the Whomping Willow, which spins on its own and even includes a buildable Flying Ford Anglia car.
Also included in the set are exclusive minifigures of Hogwarts founders Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, and Rowena Ravenclaw. And to populate the castle, you get 27 microfigures of various characters from the books and movies. Check out the video below for a full tour of the set. And then if you want it, grab it before it goes out of stock again.
