Recommendation: meh 4.4 / 5 from 40 reviews

I love it, as much as all the other sets that I have, and that is almost everyone of the Harry Potter lego sets. But it is one thing that bothers me, and that is that Luna and Draco didn't get a vand. Luckily there was several vands to many, so I gave them one, but I think they should have one!

Recommendation: meh by Rob

There's a great deal to admire about the consistency and quality of LEGO Harry Potter sets into this third year of releases, and the same can be said of 75969 Hogwarts Astronomy Tower. Most importantly for 75969, with regards to its place as the fourth successive Hogwarts Castle-based set, it delivers fresh architecture, story, minifigures and details to satisfy any Harry Potter fan's love of the franchise and of the particular book and film that the design team have centred this model around.

Recommendation: yes by jaredhinton

I had sky high expectations for this set so to a degree it was always going to disappoint me a little. Does that mean I don't recommend the set? No, absolutely not. With some great Minifgures, rare room selection, and really awesome mini-builds (especially for the astronomy equipment) this set hits a lot of high notes.
