Wooden 3D Puzzle: Hogwarts Castle - Ugears

3D Wooden Puzzle: Hogwarts Castle by Ugears.

Imagine you're a young wizard or witch, just stepping off the Hogwarts Express at Hogsmeade Station, nervous about starting your first term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A bearded giant is barking orders for the first years to line up, and as you look around, one of your classmates points and exclaims: “There’s Hogwarts!” In the distance, atop a hill, you see the imposing towers and turrets of Hogwarts Castle. It’s everything you’ve dreamed of and feared at once. You’re awestruck as you spot a dragon hanging from the main tower—is it someone’s pet, or an emissary of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? One thing’s for sure, the year ahead will be interesting!

Step into a magical world by building the majestic Hogwarts Castle, a faithful replica of the wizarding school as seen in the Harry Potter film series. With its towers and turrets, this static model with movable elements (including a staircase and dragon wings) will transport you to a place of intrigue and enchantment.

The front of the model displays in detail the buildings, towers, turrets, and parapets of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the ridge tiles, cloisters, cut-out windows, and laser engravings that replicate the look of rocks, masonry, and slate tiles on the roofs. The back of the model presents a cutaway of the castle for a more compact design, allowing it to be placed against a wall, revealing hidden interior details such as the Great Hall, the tower staircase, rooms, and inner courtyards. A dragon with movable wings is suspended from the main tower, reminiscent of the scene from the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where Harry is pursued by a fire-breathing dragon.

The model is of "Medium" difficulty level with 340 pieces and an estimated assembly time of 6 hours. The pieces are laser-cut from high-quality artistic composite wood. To assemble, simply detach the pieces from the laser-cut boards and fit them together by following the detailed, illustrated instructions available in 11 languages (English, German, Ukrainian, French, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, and Korean). No glue or special tools are required to build the Hogwarts Castle™: everything you need for assembly is included in the box.
