Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

You might not be able to attend Hogwarts in real life, but you can still leave your muggleness behind when you build Lego's new Hogwarts Castle, a mind-bending 6,020-piece model of the iconic wizarding school from the Harry Potter series.

The massive castle set covers everything from the Great Hall (complete with stained glass windows) to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Dumbledore's office and the Chamber of Secrets. You could easily spend days exploring all the nooks and crannies of the completed build.

[...] Start polishing your wand now. It's going to take some time to put all 6,020 pieces together and you might need an assist from a magic spell like "Reparo," the mending charm.

    while I am a self-confessed cynic, toys like this have their place.
    Many young choldren (boys and girls) would love to spend hours folling the instructions and making this.
    I know several children who otherwise don't do any three dimensional puzzles or building, and lego provides a wonderful introduction to modelling, making, building, and thinking in different ways to usual.

    Not *really* sure how I feel about adults making this sort of thing (jealous of their time?), but, really, to each his own.
