Description

The Weasley family home

In the Harry Potter stories the Burrow is the crooked house of the Weasley family, grown from many additions. The set captures that character: instead of a straight building you get a winding house on several levels. With 573 pieces there is enough room to furnish rooms and replay scenes from the stories, yet it stays manageable and enjoyable to build. Anyone who knows the books or films will recognise the inspiration immediately. The crooked rooflines are a big part of the appeal, as they deliberately stand apart from smooth, standard houses.

Warm colours for a home

Dark red, medium nougat and reddish brown define the model and give the warm, cosy impression of a family home, while dark bluish grey provides the roof surfaces. With 130 different parts you can create plenty of small details such as windows, chimneys and furnishings. The set suits builders who would rather create an atmospheric building than a quick vehicle, and it also looks good on a shelf. The mix of red and brown also plays a major role in the setting, because it emphasises the hand-made feel of the house.

Six figures at home

With 6 minifigures the Burrow is one of the more figure-rich sets in the range. That makes it easier to stage family scenes, visits and adventures with several participants without borrowing figures from other sets. If you buy a second-hand copy, check the figures and their accessories against the parts list on this page, since small items such as hair and tools are easily lost. This also makes it easy to stage scenes from the books in which the family comes together.

Putting the bricks to new use

The parts list shows every element with its colour and quantity, and the “What can I build?” tool tells you which other models your bricks can make. The reddish brown and dark red pieces suit barns, castles or farmhouses nicely. That way the contents of the box stay useful, even when the house itself is eventually rebuilt or packed away in pieces. If you maintain a Harry Potter collection, you can therefore sort these parts neatly and use them with purpose when rebuilding.
