The famous escape of Sirius Black

The central theme of this set is one of the most memorable moments from the third Harry Potter film.

Sirius Black is being held captive unjustly and faces a terrible fate.

Harry and Hermione decide to help him escape.

With the help of the magical Time-Turner, they are able to influence events in the past.

In the end, they manage to free Sirius from his cell and escape with the help of Buckbeak.

LEGO has brought this scene to life in a special way with a recognizable section of castle architecture, a prison tower, and the famous Hippogriff.

A detailed section of Hogwarts

The main model consists of a beautifully designed section of Hogwarts, with a distinctive tower and an atmospheric courtyard.

The architecture features recognizable sand-colored and gray tones and perfectly captures the look of the third Harry Potter film.

Highlights of the build include:

An impressive medieval castle tower.
A prison cell where Sirius is held captive.
A detailed entrance to the prison.
A recognizable Hogwarts courtyard.
Various architectural details and decorative elements.
A bench in the courtyard.
An atmospheric display that perfectly complements the story.
The various elements come together to create a recognizable setting where you can recreate Sirius's escape.

Buckbeak – The impressive Hippogriff

One of the absolute highlights of this set is Buckbeak, Hagrid's famous Hippogriff.

This magical creature combines the features of an eagle and a horse.

Its head and front half have the appearance of a large bird of prey, while its hindquarters resemble those of a horse.

Buckbeak plays a particularly important role in the third Harry Potter film and is best known for his special bond with Harry.

LEGO has recreated this Hippogriff in a recognizable way.

Buckbeak's features include:

A detailed eagle-like head.
A distinctive beak.
Recognizable feathers and body details.
Two large movable wings.
Adjustable parts for different poses.
Space on his back for a minifigure.
Thanks to the movable wings, Buckbeak can be displayed both at rest and in flight.

A special detail is that Harry or Hermione can sit on Buckbeak's back, allowing you to recreate the famous escape scene from the film.

Three special LEGO Harry Potter minifigures

One of this set's key selling points is that it includes three minifigures exclusive to this set.

The set includes:
