== Description ==
=== The Black Lake ===
The main feature of the set is the archway where Hermione and Ron stand. A lever in the back launches them to safety. The set also includes stairs that, when the top stair is taken off, reveals two knives underneath. There is also a contraption that launches sea creatures (usually the lobster), a crab on the top step, a large black octopus, and a jellyfish on the top of the archway. There is also a small rowboat and various seaweed pieces. It is the first set to feature a transparent light-blue Cook's Hat piece as a Jellyfish as well as a red Scorpion piece as a Lobster. Also, the Shark Head is exclusive to the set.
=== Minifigures ===
The set includes Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Viktor Krum, and a Merman. Both Ron and Hermione have two faces on each side of the head - one asleep and one awake. Krum (who comes with a shark's head piece), the Merman, and Harry's gillyweed state are all exclusive to this set. Almost the exact same Hermione minifigure is included in 5378 Hogwarts Castle but with different hairpieces. Ron's hairpiece is also darker than his last appearance in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban themed sets.
