Some of my best childhood memories having grown up an only child are of spending a weekend reading an entire book or building a giant Lego set that would take hours to construct. Looking back on those marathon Lego-building sessions now from the perspective of my parents, they probably jumped for joy whenever I chose to spend my weekend that way for all the time they got to themselves.

So if you're in the market for a weekend alone(ish), check out these large Lego sets — including the epic Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle set — that will keep your little builder occupied for many, many hours. They also make for great holiday gifts, because every parent needs me time during the holidays, right?
