LEGO builders looking for a little inspiration are sure to enjoy this amazing LEGO Hogwarts build that required over 75,000 pieces to construct and was built by master builder Mathieu BL. Mathieu spent over 1,200 hours designing and building Hogwarts which includes a quidditch stadium behind the castle.
The Magnificence of LEGO Hogwarts
“In the Harry Potter films, Hogwarts looked massive and majestic. Although LEGO did a great job with the massive 71043 Hogwarts Castle set, builder Mathieu BL has built a microscale LEGO version of the castle that feels just as big as it should, despite its diminutive size. Part of this can be attributed to the surrounding terrain, which places the building within its proper context. The hills and cliff-sides have been carefully sculpted, utilizing a variety of colors and shapes to achieve a nice degree of realism. The sparkly water adds a touch of beauty, and it consists of loose trans clear and trans-medium blue elements mixed together to emulate the choppiness of the sea.”
Mathieu BL’s creation is not just a simple LEGO set; it is a testament to the dedication and creativity that LEGO enthusiasts bring to their projects. The intricate details of the castle, from the towering spires to the tiny windows, showcase the level of craftsmanship involved. The surrounding landscape, with its meticulously designed hills and cliffs, adds depth and realism to the model, making it a true work of art.
The Building Process
The process of building such a detailed model is no small feat. Mathieu BL spent over 1,200 hours on this project, which translates to roughly 50 days of non-stop building. This time investment highlights the passion and dedication required to complete such an ambitious project. Each piece had to be carefully selected and placed to ensure the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the model.
The inclusion of the quidditch stadium behind the castle adds another layer of complexity and authenticity to the build. Fans of the Harry Potter series will appreciate this nod to one of the most iconic elements of the wizarding world. The stadium, though small in scale, is detailed enough to evoke memories of the thrilling quidditch matches from the books and films.
