This is one of the best Harry Potter sets I have found! I love all the little details, including the hidden ones. It's a great size to display without taking up a lot of shelf space. Not a lot of play features but an excellent display piece. I am REALLY hoping the Lego group will do one for each book. They would look amazing side by side. It's a great addition to the micro build Hogwarts of a similar size. A lot of detail in a smaller area.

I really like building this set and listening to the first Harry Potter book while doing it, but unfortunately I couldn't finish building it because when I was building the model of Hedwig, the pieces could never stay together long enough for me to finish the set. I am so frustrated and disappointed as the first book of the Harry Potter series is one of my most favourite books and movies. I wish the pieces were a bit more sturdy and wouldn't break apart as easily when making models of iconic characters like Hedwig. Awesome set otherwise though.

I was so excited for this set because of all the little surprises and was concerned if they would actually work. Unfortunately I should have followed my gut. No matter how many adjustments I made and tweaks I did Hedwig's head occasionally twitches. I have taken the set apart multiple times to try to fix. All of the other components work, so I guess my Hedwig is special.

Love the detail in this kit

Another set that is worthy to be added to your Harry Potter lego sets

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LEGO product is great. Not your shopping estimations.

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

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.

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.

An absolute amazing piece to add to my wife’s collection
