Welcome to text-based instructions from Bricks for the Blind. Before you start building, here are some
terms we'll be using:
- In Front of/Front: towards you.
- Behind/Back: away from you.
- Up: towards the ceiling.
- Down: towards the floor.
- Stud: the bump on a LEGO brick. Example: A 2x1 brick has two studs on it.
- Vertically: going from front to behind.
- Horizontally: going from left to right.
- Upright: pointing up towards the ceiling.
- That one/ppp: previously placed piece.
- Plate: piece with studs.
- Tile: smooth piece without studs (unless otherwise specified)
- A jumper plate is a 1x2 plate with a single stud on top, or a 1x3 plate with only two studs on top.
- "Anti-stud" is a term for the portion of a LEGO piece which accepts studs, like the bottom of a plate or
brick.
- Symmetrically: a mirror image. Example: If you place a 2x1 brick with technic connector on the front
wall at the right, connector to the front, and then place another such piece symmetrically on the back
wall, at the right, the technic connector of the second piece should point to the back, since it will be
placed symmetrically.
- Centered-vertically: even amount of space in front of and behind piece
- Centered-horizontally: even amount of space left and right of piece. - Row: studs lined up horizontally
(left to right/side to side).
- Column: studs lined up upright or vertically (top to bottom/back to front).
For builders with low vision, or a sighted building partner who may want to follow along with the printed
visual instructions that come with each set, PDF versions are always online at LEGO.com:
https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/76424 As low vision users may benefit from
viewing the instructions on a personal device where they can zoom in on content and use assistive
technologies to enhance the visuals.
To begin a successful build, it helps to sort the pieces into groups, bags or small containers. Have a
sighted friend or family member do this in advance following the instructions below. You will see that the
pieces should be sorted into groups according to the building steps in the set. Doing this in advance
makes locating the pieces easier. See below on how to sort the pieces to correspond to the steps in this
set. Number the containers using letters A-Z, numbers or meaningful names. The parts will be collected
into a small number of steps in the instructions. Example: Steps 1-3 means collect all the parts used in
steps 1, 2, and 3, and put them in one container.
This set contains 2 bags labeled 1 and 2. You can tell them apart by touch, since bag 1 contains 2 long
black 14x2 plates.
Bag 1 (7 groups of bricks)
Group 1 contains the pieces for steps 1-4, including Ron and Scabbers.
Group 2 contains the pieces for steps 5-8.
Group 3 contains the pieces for steps 9-12.
Group 4 contains the pieces for steps 13-18.
Group 5 contains the pieces for steps 19-22.
Group 6 contains the pieces for steps 23-29.
Group 7 contains the pieces for steps 30-33.
Bag 2 (4 groups of bricks)
Group 8 contains the pieces for steps 34-39, including Harry and Hedwig.
Group 9 contains the pieces for steps 40-43.
Group 10 contains the pieces for steps 44-50.
Group 11 contains the pieces for steps 51-54.
