This was one of my favorite and the Harry Potter sets. What a perfect size to fit on a desk and the detail that goes into it was very fun. The overall build was exciting and there are some cool little secrets that come along with it. I highly recommend.

I'm normally a Star Wars/LotR guy, but as soon as I saw this, I knew I needed this set, and it did not disappoint. Great build, Fantastic displayability, fun easter eggs. If they make one of these for each book, they can count me in.

I thoroughly enjoyed this build, beginning to end. It is a beautiful set in every way. I love the mechanics of the knob dial turning and what they do. Also I love the little hideaway of the path to the Sorcerers stone. Also looks great with the rest of my HP Builds.

Easy build, looks great when finished. If you don't already have it with your HP collection I highly recommend it.

I haven't opened it yet I will wait until my granddaughter comes for the summer so we can do it together

Love the detail in this kit

I've built many Harry Potter sets and was at first unsure about this one, as the picture looked like it wasn't super special compared to others, or worth the cost. I already have the other Collectors Edition set with owl and it seemed too similar. However, once I started building I immediately loved it! Every step created little hidden secrets, moving aspects, and unexpected details. This is truly a fun build and I really enjoyed every part of it. The techniques used are excellent, and the end result is beautiful. It's also not overly large (keep in mind it's only 1600 pieces), which I appreciate as I don't have a ton of display space. If you like building sets with hidden surprises, moving parts, and not too simple of a design, you will love this one.

I truly enjoyed the build. I would have given it 5 stars but I hate to attach stickers so it got a 4. Instructions were great! It went together quick! lots of extra pieces. I'm not a Harry Potter fan but I fell in love with the owl! I guess I'll have to watch one of the movies now. Lol!

Very nicely done, I appreciate the amount of details you put into a small set. If and when you make a collectors set for each movie, I will buy. Would be cool if they all formed something in a row. Some nitpicks, a few macguffins I wish were in the set but were absent; a broomstick or snitch, Harry's letter, and the troll (I realized there was a picture, but a minifigure would have been better). I think the idea of the set having moving parts was great, but could have been executed a tad better. I didn't like the trolls club being part of the wall. Like I said, if the troll was a minifigure, it would have been better for the club to hit the troll on the head. Hedwig's head moving was cute, Hedwig having a heart inside her made me smile. And the queen moving was nice, but would have been cooler if it was towards Ron.
