Not what I wanted

legos are usually pricey

When I got this set, I immediately started building this and I was very happy with the final product. The detail is spot on, the build itself is very sturdy, and that little mirror sticker thingy on the barrier separating the two halves of the train makes it look like the train is actually passing through the books when you use it as a decoration to go with your books. The price per piece ratio is pretty good, which was a relief after seeing the price of some sets (I'm looking at YOU, republic juggernaut). Overall it is a fun set and a great gift for Harry Potter fans.

As a harry potter fan, this set is absolutely perfect, it comes with 2 perfect minifigures, with a quote for each of them on each side, and that hogwarts express build is pretty solid, the best part of the set isn't even technically advertised, as it works really well as bookends, or a book nook, lego did an amazing job!

Compared to the LEGO book nooks, this is the worst one. It doesn’t have a folding mechanism like the others. Also, it’s impossible to keep Harry and Ron on the pegs, as the carts take up too much room, knocking them off. Also, Hedwig keeps falling off. This one just isn’t well thought out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a fun and amazing activity to do on your own or with others. As a huge Harry Potter fan I love this lego set. I have had such fun building it with my family. This is such a great value and keeps you busy for hours! This might just be my favorite lego set yet!

I was really excited for this set, and when I started putting it together I realized that there are no unique features about this build. The pieces are all the same from the rest of the Harry Potter Lego sets, and there are no surprise pieces or easter eggs to find while building. Also, the lego figures won't even comfortably fit on the pegs in front of the train, they either bump into the train or fall off the side of the model. Im very disappointed in this set, the most disappointing Harry Potter lego set I've ever made, and one of the most expensive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very fun Lego collection for the Harry Potter fans! I absolutely love Harry Potter books and movies and this one just adds a nice collection to my room. I love how you can use it to keep the books up!

This was a fun build. There is only one thing that I would like to suggest for future book nooks. Hinges. I was expecting to have the ability to open and close the book nook. It is two separate pieces, which connect the way the modular buildings do. If a hinge is not possible, then a way to secure the nook in a closed position would we advised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great display piece for a Harry Potter fan, maybe as bookends for the novels! It's a typical Lego set where the pieces come in little baggies. The instructions are easy to understand and quality is up to par. It's a fun build as a Lego novice, nothing crazy complicated.
