Excellent set but be mindful of the price. The best rule of thumb for buying LEGO is approximately ten cents per Lego piece unless it's specialty set. I think I paid two fifty for this set which was a little high but well worth the look on my kids face . You have to weigh how much you want out of production sets to decide how much extra you're willing to pay.

If you have budget for one big set, buy this. If you want to buy Hogwarts Castle, buy this instead. This looks so complete. It kinds of invite me to expand the alley. The difference made by the Lego designer is humongous, as Diagon Alley has a totally different feel with the other HP sets.

The LEGO 10217 Diagon Alley set provides a very beautiful display piece as well as some decent playability factors. While there aren't a lot of special functions, the minifigures, accessories and building themselves can inspire quite a bit of playtime, whether recreating scenes from the franchise or just creating new Harry Potter stories.
