Hedwig 75979 | Harry Potter | LEGO

Box condition 8/10

LEGO set 75979 is Hedwig, a large, brick-built, mechanical model of Harry Potter's beloved snowy owl from the LEGO Harry Potter theme.

Released in 2020, this set is an innovative display piece containing 630 pieces and is primarily aimed at builders aged 10 and up. Its focus is on recreating the elegant appearance and movement of the famous owl.

🦉 Design and Mechanism

The core feature of this model is its kinetic mechanism that allows the wings to move.

• Flapping Wings: The build includes a series of Technic elements and gears that are connected to a hand-turned crank positioned at the rear of the display base. When the handle is turned, it powers a mechanism that makes Hedwig's large, jointed wings move gracefully up and down in a realistic flapping motion.

• Detailed Sculpting: The model features impressive detailing to capture the texture of the owl's feathers, using layers of white and black quarter curved tiles and plates. Hedwig is posed in flight, holding an important Hogwarts acceptance letter in her talons.

🧍 Minifigure and Accessories

The buildable owl model is mounted on a sturdy, decorated display stand that includes a plaque with the name "Hedwig." The set also includes two smaller, Minifigure-scale figures that can be displayed alongside the main model:

• Harry Potter Minifigure: A young version of Harry Potter, exclusive to this set, is included with a Gryffindor scarf and short legs.

• Mini-Hedwig: A separate, small, molded Hedwig owl figure, shown with outstretched wings, is also included.

This set is celebrated for blending a detailed, collectible sculpture with a satisfying, functional mechanical element.
