The LEGO Harry Potter sets include eight of the most popular characters from the magical world of Harry Potter - including Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Draco Malfoy and Professors Dumbledore, Snape and Quirrell, as mini-figures, as well as a variety of other characters including animals, ghosts and imaginary creatures. The new product line, for children ages six and up, features some of the best-known places and scenes from the first Harry Potter movie that kids can recreate, including: the Hogwarts Castle, the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid's Hut, Snape's Class, the Forbidden Corridor, the Room of the Winged Keys, the Final Challenge, the Sorting Hat, the House of Gryffindor dormitory, Diagon Alley(TM) Shops and Hogwarts Classrooms. The LEGO Company also will release a software title this fall, LEGO CREATOR HARRY POTTER PC CD-ROM, based on the first book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. For children ages eight and up, the game allows kids to build and play in a virtual LEGO Harry Potter world.
