Hogwarts Students Accessory Set

Bought a few and swapped out the heads to fill up the castle with students instead of the same 4 main ones repeated over and over. I hope they release minifig packs of the different quidditch teams. My daughter is bummed she can't put her minifig on the Hufflepuff team. Overall a good start for building up the Harry Potter Universe. more less

One of the biggest draws of the LEGO Harry Potter sets seem to be the Minifigures. I would certainly like to see more of these sort of packs released on a regular basis, especially if they complement other themes. These sort of Minifigure packs used to be good value for money, especially as Collectible Minifigures now £3.50 a pop. However, the higher price for these latest Minifigure Accessory Packs shrinks the margins a little. The set includes an exclusive Minifigure and printed accessory, making it a must for those you like to collect the various Wizarding World characters. It's also a great way to source Hogwarts house uniforms, as you get one of each. The accessories are a little lacklustre but they are secondary to the actual Minifigures more less

This set features relatively few exclusive parts, and the characters are either commonplace or inconsequential, but I think that's actually the point of the set. Most customers won't be buying it for characters, but rather to amass more Hogwarts house torsos. Up to this point the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw torsos had only each appeared in a large set or a now-retired CMF, respectively, so this accessory pack is by far the most cost-effective source for an AFOL to grow their student body. Aside from the minifigures, the Marauder's Map tile is certainly the standout piece, and I'm sure there will be fans who buy the set for that piece alone! more less
