Considerations for a Full Hogwarts Grounds:
Scale: LEGO has released Hogwarts sets in different scales, so consider whether you want a microscale display (like 76419 or 71043) or a minifigure-scale display using the modular sets.
Modular Design: The recent modular Hogwarts sets are designed to connect, allowing you to expand your castle over time.
Adding Grounds: To create the "grounds," you might need to incorporate base plates and additional LEGO pieces to represent the surrounding landscape, such as the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest.

Building a full Hogwarts grounds is a rewarding but ongoing project. By combining these sets and adding your creative touch, you can create a truly magical LEGO display.
