Harry Potter Lego Toys
In conjunction with the Harry Potter, Goblet of Fire book
and film,
Lego has produces some magical sets that represent key scenes.
Dragon's favourite ones are available from Amazon. All Lego sets mentioned
are suitable for children aged seven years or older as well as interested adults.
The most interesting challenge that Harry Potter
faces in the "Goblet of Fire" is an encounter with a Hungarian Horn tail
Dragon. The species is evidently vicious and uncivilized, unlike the majority
of
surviving
dragons. (Hagrid would probably assert that Horntail dragons are naturally
peaceful but the one used for the competition was magically provoked.)
As expected, this lego set includes a golden egg for Harry to retrieve,
Harry Potter himself (equipped with a magnetic hand), his broomstick and
of course the dragon, complete with horns and spiky tail.
Unfortunately, the kit does not come with any sections of Hogwarts Castle
to be ripped open by the dragon's talons.

Harry Potter: Durmstrang Ship
| |
| The Durmstrang Ship is a wonderful
lego set for Harry Pottter Fans. Despite the unreasonable absence of dragons,
it does go
very well with the Horntail
dragon set. It has a surprising level of detail.
The ship has a major role in the Goblet of Fire, when it rises from the
lake near Hogwarts School to bring the Durmstrang students, including Victor
Krum,
Harry's rival (and incidentally world renowned Quidditch player), for the
Triwizard Tournament.

Harry Potter: Rescue from Merpeople
| Although this small set does not contain any dragons, it does go very
well with the Horn tail
dragon set.
The "Rescue from the mer people" Lego set contains the setting
for Harry Potter and Victor Krum to rescue Ron and Hermione from water demons
and merpeople as they sleep at the bottom of the lake.
Hermione and Ron come with two different faces, to represent them waking
or asleep. Harry Potter comes with his normal face and one with gills to
complete his tournament costume, while Victor has a shark head as well
as
his ordinary one.
