Magical mechanics with Ugears models and the Harry Potter™ world
Did you know that October 9, 2025, marked Harry Potter™ Book Day? It was a global celebration of J.K. Rowling’s iconic series, inviting fans around the world to commemorate the day in their own special way. The theme, “Friends and Foes,” explored the deep friendships and rivalries that had defined the magical world. And what better way to join the festivities than by building your own magical creations with Ugears models and 3D wooden puzzles?
Magical engineering: building with Ugears
In the wizard world, magic is about invention, curiosity, and creativity. Take the Marauder's Map — a magical artifact that shows the entire layout of Hogwarts and the location of everyone inside. While we can’t replicate its magic, Ugears models let you bring the wonder of mechanics to life with mechanical wooden puzzles that move and interact.
Each Ugears kit is a miniature world of gears, springs, and clever mechanisms. For example, the Hogwarts™ Castle model captures the castle’s grandeur with movable towers and amazing details. The Hogwarts™ Express model recreates the iconic train with working wheels and a lifelike design, making it a must-have for any fan of magical adventures.
