LEGO 76387 Harry Potter TM Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter

Product Information

LEGO® building kits meet rigorous industry quality standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart perfectly every time – it’s been that way since 1958.

Fluffy was represented by a specialised component with extremely limited articulation during 2001, reflecting LEGO's method of depicting animals throughout that period. This design has been completely overhauled, hence the creature now consists primarily of standard elements. Only the heads are formed using specialised components, which look brilliant. The set measures over 12 in. (30 cm) high, 7.5 in. (19 cm) wide and 2.5 in. (7 cm) deep and connects easily to other LEGO® Harry Potter™ sets. Certain modules are also intended to specifically align with others, like the trap door in 76387 Hogwarts Fluffy Encounter sitting above the Devil’s Snare module also found in that set, or 76386 Hogwarts Polyjuice Potion Mistake ideally being placed above the module in 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets that contains the chute down to the eponymous chamber. LEGO® components are dropped, heated, crushed, twisted and analysed to make sure they satisfy stringent global safety standards.

Moreover, placing the balcony structure underground seems strange, although that becomes unnecessary after combining this model with others. Once again, the interior seems relatively sparse and recalls 4706 Forbidden Corridor, including two flaming torches which are mounted on the wall. While the balcony seems adequate, perhaps these pieces could have created the entrance for the Chamber of Winged Keys instead.

Even across these initial builds, there were already some idiosyncrasies and shortcomings present: for instance, the door section of 76395 Hogwarts First Flying Lesson doesn’t follow these rules, and the Chamber of Secrets module has a bit of Great Hall interior attached to it, making it awkward on the interior to attach anything other than the Great Hall module. Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter shares some interesting similarities with 4706 Forbidden Corridor, representing exactly the same location and integrating certain consistent functions. Of course, the most notable continuity between them is the presence of Fluffy, although his appearance has changed dramatically since 2001. Minifigures The updated Hogwarts modular system has proven somewhat divisive, although both 76386 Hogwarts: Polyjuice Potion Mistake and 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets have definitely provoked positive responses. 76387 Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter seems less successful in my opinion, particularly because the arrangement of different sections is inefficient.Nevertheless, the three heads are outstanding. Despite sharing the same mould, each piece displays varying decoration to portray angry and sleepy appearances! These designs feature extensive detail and the option of displaying Fluffy asleep is appealing, although this sleeping face restricts options when posing the animal, to some degree. LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™: Fluffy Encounter (76387) has everything a Harry Potter fan could want: favourite characters, familiar Hogwarts locations and a thrilling, 3-headed dog. LEGO® Harry Potter™ toys contain favourite characters, amazing creatures and familiar locations from the popular movies. They’re an ideal gift for any child wanting to be part of the movie magic.

Anniversary Hermione Granger is provided as well, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of LEGO Harry Potter. These golden designs appear suitably impressive, especially because the torso is decorated with metallic gold accents to complement the pearl gold plastic. The reverse displays the twentieth anniversary symbol, matching the other commemorative minifigures. An enchanting birthday, Christmas and holiday gift that will captivate young witches and wizards aged 8 and up.

I would prefer completely distinct decorations, although the exclusive heads and hair elements assure sufficient variation between characters. Each minifigure is connected to a golden display base and carries a pearl gold wand. In this article we’ll be taking a look at integrating the modules of 76398 Hogwarts Hospital Wing with those found in 76386 Hogwarts Polyjuice Potion Mistake, 76387 Hogwarts Fluffy Encounter, and 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets.

Minifigures

Neither of those layouts is ideal, which means you really need to combine this with both 76389 Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets and 76386 Hogwarts: Polyjuice Potion Mistake to make the most of what’s on offer.

Finally, here are the two Hospital Wings closer together. The side tables and lamps share some design features, while the beds are entirely different and even a different colour, with the older set using sand green bedding. Includes Harry Potter™, Hermione Granger™ and Ron Weasley™ minifigures, a buildable giant dog with 3 heads, 5 buildable modules, and authentic accessories including a magical harp. Young witches and wizards will enjoy endless magical fun with LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™: Fluffy Encounter (76387). This reconfigurable playset features favourite characters, familiar locations and a 3-headed dog for 3 times the fun! Includes an exclusive, golden Hermione Granger™ minifigure to celebrate 20 years of magic with LEGO® Harry Potter™. Also includes 2 random wizard card tiles for kids to collect (16 in total). The colours work nicely, particularly the grey linking to the Chamber of Secrets (even if the Devil’s Snare should lead somewhere else in-universe), but it’s a shame that same visual flow across this wave doesn’t extend to the narrative within the standalone 76387 Hogwarts: Fluffy Encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 76387 Harry Potter Hogwarts Fluffy encounter

It seems bizarre beyond the context of the set’s otherwise empty third-floor corridor, however, and therefore in any potential play scenario that doesn’t involve cramming the pooch into that confined space. A separate set of interchangeable heads would have worked much better, even if it did bump the price up ever so slightly. When this model is displayed as the instructions recommend, the opening trapdoor becomes useless. Thankfully, each section may be reconfigured to situate the trapdoor over the Devil's Snare, as demonstrated below. That arrangement is great for play, although the Devil's Snare appears disappointing because the plant should have been substantially larger and integrated greater detail. Upon discovering that somebody is attempting to seize the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and his friends enter the underground chambers to protect it. The minifigure features a familiar tousled hair component and his double-sided head is common as well, appearing in fifteen sets since 2018. This design remains effective, but an alternative would be appreciated. In any case, these minor oddities don’t prevent all the modules being arranged however you like, and 2022 brings even more variety into the system. 76401 Hogwarts Courtyard: Sirius’s Rescue and 76402 Hogwarts: Dumbledore’s Office, both to be released in June 2022, will introduce corner modules, while 76398 Hogwarts Hospital Wing provides the ability to hinge Hogwarts in one, two, or three sections. This toy is one of a series of authentically detailed modular sets that kids can build, combine and rearrange to create their own Hogwarts™ Castle model.
