Perfect for your Harry Potter Book Collection!

I bought this set with one goal in mind: displaying my Harry Potter books. It does that perfectly.
The Book Nook looks amazing on a bookshelf. Once it's tucked between the books, it really feels like you're getting a glimpse of Platform 9¾ and the Hogwarts Express hidden behind the stories. It's one of those sets that looks even better in person than it does on the box.
The build was fun from start to finish. I especially enjoyed putting together the station details and the brickwork along the platform. There are lots of little touches that make the scene feel alive without making the build overly complicated. Harry and Ron are great minifigures, and I was happy to see Hedwig and Scabbers included too. They add a lot of character to the finished display.
What surprised me most is how sturdy it is. My Harry Potter books fit perfectly between the two sides, and everything stays in place without any issues. It's both a LEGO display and a practical bookend, which is a combination I didn't know I needed.
As someone who collects LEGO from all kinds of themes, this is one of the most unique display sets I've built. If you're a Harry Potter fan and have the books on your shelf, this set is an easy recommendation.
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.
This turned out so cute! The book of instructions was easy to follow. My husband and I had a wonderful 2 evenings working on it and it bookends our Harry Potter collection of books!
I was very disappointed with this product. Considering the name book nook it didn’t close like a book nook but two separate pieces. It should have been called book ends. I Agee with “Not worth the money’s” review. The pegs were in a bad spot for the figurines.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my husband and I spent a Saturday night putting this together, and it was super fun and pretty easy! the end result is really cute, can't wait to find a spot on our bookshelf!
