As a lover of the films and the books, I really wanted to have a set to represent the world of Harry Potter, I missed out growing up on the larger full-scale set, and at the moment have no space for a large set like that anyway, so when I saw this I thought it was perfect, includes everything I could want for a skyline of the castle, and so many easter eggs while building, the overall experience was fantastic, and the result looks just as good as I was expecting, well worth the price and had such a great time from the first to last page of building it

So much detail added to the scale of the this build. So much easier for me to show off this amazing set. I hope to see more microscale builds in the future.

I really enjoyed building this and my three year old hovered the whole time and put in a few pieces. It was fun seeing it light up her imagination. If I'd really studied this before I bought it I would've noticed every detail but when I was building the boathouse I thought for a second it was going to be hagrid's hut and got excited. By the time I was done I really wished it did have his hut, a mini quidditch field, and maybe a small patch of the forbidden forest. With hose few things it would've covered the entirety of the Hogwarts grounds and all the mains settings with major plot points in the books. I still love it but I do wish it had those few additions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lego products have a track record of excellence and desirability. Walmart is only one of a few outlets who can secure a discount on the various kits and this, given today's economic environment, is much appreciated.

Our 19 year old son was able to assemble this set in a couple of evenings, and he thoroughly enjoyed it!. The cutaways at the base are pretty detailed, but the set overall is so impressive and I love that these sets are easily displayed, the best size for that purpose.

I recently built this set and I'm absolutely thrilled with it! This set offers a great value for the number of pieces you get. It forms a truly stunning mini replica of the castle. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricate architecture of the castle to the beautiful landscapes surrounding it. The build process is engaging and rewarding. It's a great set for both experienced builders and fans of the Harry Potter series. It's not just a fun build, but also a fantastic display piece that brings a touch of magic to any room. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandson was quite excited to receive this for Christmas. I am glad to be able to purchase the Lego brand of Harry Potter items from Walmart as I know they will be quality items for a reasonable price comparatively. It does drive me nuts that products cost so much in general.

If you are considering getting the set, I cannot recommend it enough. I have wanted this one for a long time and it is exactly what I was hoping for. I don't want to display the massive Hogwarts Castle (okay I do, I just don't have the space) and this set is perfect for displaying my love of Lego and HP in a reasonable space.

As beautiful and detailed as this set is, it was definitely designed for aesthetics and not stability. I love the grounds and the Chamber of Secrets, and the whomping willow, but the bridge and the great hall and the flying keys room are quite delicate.

I bought this Lego set as a gift for my daughter who is 30 years old. She loves Legos and really wanted the Hogwarts castle. Unfortunately, the item we received was clearly a return and bags were opened and pieces were missing. I feel sure this was a one off situation, but my daughter was very sad. She returned it and our money was refunded, but she would have rather had the Lego set.
