[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the build. It would have been really cool to make it bigger (all of these items together). I know it was tried in the past and maybe didn't sell, but a bigger version would.
This is the most boring, tedious, build I think I've ever been engaged in. Because they choose to start the build with totally unrecognizable buildings (the menagerie? the robe shop? really?), you're dealing all these little parts that don't resemble real world objects so there's never really a "oooh, a cool Easter egg" moment that makes anything youre doing revelatory. I just feel like I'm adding parts to a colorful tetris sculpture or something. It is NOTHING like other micro builds. Its not even interesting like the architecture builds are. And it is so low, its profile as "art" is nowhere near as striking as the two micro-Hogwarts builds. Im probably not going to get to the cool stuff because I'm already bored at bag 5 (the first instruction book and the first four buildings on the left of Gringotts). Ill probably pack everything else away and return to this some other time. Ugh. I had such hopes.
