LEGO Minifigures - Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Series - Sealed Box

I think one of the strong points of this series is that there was no filler. Every figure is a relatively important character. The only thing I don't like is how there's only one figure of Percival Graves/Grindelwald per box. I'm getting a little tired of that 1 per box gimmick LEGO is doing. It needs to stop. more less

I think LEGO did a commendable job with this series, striking a nice balance between must-have main characters, and the introduction of ones that have never been made in minifigure form like Dean Thomas, Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang. It's not unexpected, but the Harry Potter minifigures are definitely my favourite, with a great mix of popular characters, balanced quite well between Hogwarts students and teaching staff. more less

As I look over all of these fantastic figures, I find myself asking the question “Why is Voldemort, the only character depicted without a nose in the movies, the only figure with nostrils printed on his head?" With only one figure per box, and two characters incorporated in that figure, Percival Graves/ Gellert Grindelwald will be the greatest challenge for serious collectors. You can find two series of the Harry Potter specific figures in every box, but the Fantastic Beasts figures are harder too complete. more less

LEGO has produced 28 different series of Collectable Minifigures during the last eight years and I have enjoyed collecting all of them. However, 71022 Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts may be my favourite series yet, due not only to the impressive range of characters included but also the tremendous detail captured by many of them. Luna Lovegood, Professor Trelawney, Albus Dumbledore and Tina Goldstein stand out in particular. more less

Other than the distribution ratio of the minifigures, I'm very satisfied with the variety of characters that we get in this set. Most of them don't appear in the standard system sets so just them being in random packs makes them more sought after. This is the second Collectible Minifigures set that LEGO has released to include a “chase" minifigure and it doesn't look to be stopping anytime soon so we'll just have to get used to seeing more of them in future sets. more less

LEGO has done an excellent job with this series, filling in many gaps and bringing new life to many woefully outdated characters. The multitude of new elements is in keeping with the traditional CMF series, and the detail on the characters is excellent. We didn't notice any of the plastic quality issues that have sometimes plagued CMFs, which is a refreshing turn. more less
