I have actually read the first, well, less than 3 pages of the first book,
BUT my girlfriend has read them all. I asked her what kind of
structures/settings the book had, and here's what I got out of her that the
two of us decided might be sorta' Legoish... (from memory):
Hogwarts Castle
Steam Engine Hogwarts train (Not much of a castle theme)
Witches house - kind of a weird house
many plain houses (?)
Dragons
Gnomes
Elves
Prof. Dumple (dimple?)
Doctor Scrape (Scipe, Scaip -- I can't read my own writing, LOL!)
So, assuming this Harry Potter Lego is not part of the Castle Theme, and
perhaps it's own theme like Star Wars, then it's possible there will be
several cool pieces/sets usable for castle - most especially figs.
Theoretically, of course.
