LEGO 75953, “Hogwarts Whomping Willow”, depicts a Hogwarts scene focused on the Whomping Willow within the Harry Potter theme. Released in 2018, the set contains 754 pieces and belongs to the school based locations of the licence.

The model focuses on a distinctive part of the Hogwarts grounds: the Whomping Willow. Within the Harry Potter theme, it broadens the school setting beyond classrooms and interiors, pairing a Hogwarts section with an outdoor magical feature that is closely associated with student events in the story.

It suits builders who want a Hogwarts display that includes both architecture and grounds. The selection of students, staff and caretaker figures supports character based play, while the subject also works for collectors arranging Harry Potter sets by areas of the school and its surroundings.
