Instructions make construction easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is awesome. I thought it would be difficult but the instructions are step by step and makes it super easy to construct. I like that the pieces are bagged in sections so you dont have to go looking for parts through all 800 pieces. The most difficult part is getting the stickers on straight. As far as using the pieces over again to make something else, sure. Your imagination can go wild.
So, I bought this b/c I didn’t have a Hogwarts Expresd, and i needed one. the coolest part is since it’s magic, one end can be anywhere compared to the other end. Using it to have separate areas for Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade/hogwarts in my display.
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 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.
