acciobrickPix of the lego Harry Potter summer 2024 wave's 76440 Durmstrang ship and Beauxbatons carriage - 1229 pieces ($140)!
I'll start by saying I'm not really a boat person, and I don't have the space or the budget for this set... But! Despite that, I look at it and have to say it's a thing of beauty. They did a really great job on it. The smaller sized Beauxbatons' carriage is lovely, so well done. I still think it's a shame they've included it in the set with the ship, however, as I would have preferred the set $30 cheaper, but for those that missed it the first time around, I'm sure it will be appreciated. Also, take a moment to appreciate that box art. So much better than the art for the Great Hall, they've done well here, too.
Madame Maxime uses the maxi legs we've seen in the Avatar sets, meaning she's more posable for the first time. Fleur is nothing new, but Krum, Karkaroff, and Crouch Sr. are great minifigs (although it seems odd that Karkaroff hasn't got black hair) and welcome additions to the list of characters. Karkaroff and Crouch are first appearances since the reboot. Krum is the first appearance of that version.
There's some interior to the ship, not much, but then they had to invent it, and it gets the job done.
