The possibilities are endless. So, now you see why it’s like LEGO!
It’s exciting but also intimidating. When I only see a bunch of bricks and a picture of Hogwarts Castle, I have no idea how I will get there. How do these little bricks combine to make something so cool?
That’s the purpose of this book. Imagine this as your instruction manual that comes with your LEGO. I’ll help you make your Hogwarts Castle. But before we can start building, you need to understand what the bricks are.
