The Battle at the Astronomy Tower
Also known as the Battle of the Lightning-Struck Tower, it took place on 30th June 1997. Draco Malfoy was asked to orchestrate a mission to help the Death Eaters infiltrate Hogwarts. Draco spent a good part of the sixth year at school repairing a Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement. He used magic to link it with another cabinet situated at Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley. Draco had tried other ways, from poisoning mead to putting Imperius Curse on Katie Bell to try to kill Dumbledore.
Draco helped Death Eaters like Corban Yaxley, Fenrir Greyback, Amycus Carrow, Bellatrix Lestrange, and others emerge from the Vanishing Cabinet. In the meantime, Harry and Dumbledore arrived in Hogsmeade, where Madama Roserta informed them of the infiltration at Hogwarts. They took two broomsticks to fly atop the Astronomy Tower. You can also fly atop the astronomy tower, the tallest building at Hogwarts, with the best Harry Potter LEGO Astronomy Tower!
At the Astronomy Tower, Draco, Fenrir Greyback, Corban Yaxley, and Bellatrix Lestrange confront Dumbledore, with the latter encouraging Draco to kill the Headmaster. Just as Draco is about to break, Snape arrives and takes matters into his own hands. As agreed by the two in a pact, Snape kills Dumbledore with the Killing Curse, causing one of the greatest wizards to have ever lived to die a tragic death.
You, too, can now reenact the battle at the Astronomy Tower. Fight with the Death Eaters. You can witness the tragic demise of Dumbledore and see Hogwarts finally seized by Voldemort’s loyal Death Eaters with the new Harry Potter LEGO Astronomy Tower.
