LEGO Harry Potter set 4842, Hogwarts Castle, depicts Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter setting. Released in 2010, it belongs to the Harry Potter theme and contains 1291 pieces with a character selection centred on the school.

Hogwarts Castle 4842 presents Hogwarts as a central location in the Harry Potter licence. Within the LEGO Harry Potter theme, the model focuses on the school itself, bringing together pupils, teachers, staff and darker presences rather than documenting only one specific scene.

The set is made up of 1291 pieces and 10 minifigures. The build is centred on castle architecture and on spaces that can support school based storytelling.

This set suits display, play and Harry Potter collecting. Among sets in the same theme, it has a broad subject because Hogwarts is the shared setting for many characters and storylines, making it less dependent on a single moment from the source material.
