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.
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!
This is one of my favorite sets to date. There are so many cool scenes that are iconic to Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone. Plus as a display piece it's stunning and a great size. My biggest issue is the price in comparison to the scale of the set and number of pieces; it's a steep price for the end product. I hope they do something similar for each book, a large ford anglia or giant Aragog atop a stack of books would be so cool!
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 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.
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.
