Hogwarts Moment: Potions Class

This is a must have for any Harry Potter fan. My 10 and 8 year old daughters loved and were able to make it in less than an hour. They had a fun play time after making it. It fold into a book which makes it easy to store. The Harry Potter characters look wonderful. more less

In the end, Potions Class is my favorite of the Hogwarts Moment sets. The details in the build look good, and the stickers work a little better. However, I maintain that all these sets rely too heavily on stickers and not enough on building. The Minifigures in Potions Class are decent and have a lot of accessories. Plus, three minifigs for a set this size is great. more less

One of the best things about the Hogwarts Moment series is how different each set is. Despite the same format, Harry Potter 76383 Hogwarts Moment: Potion Class is almost nothing like the 76382 Transfiguration Class. Different characters, interior, and accessories create a whole other part of the Hogwarts school, still providing a ton of playability and reasons to adore these sets. more less

Could they have just done classroom-themed playsets, without the need for them being in book form? Most certainly, but I don't think they would be as interesting. Conforming each set to a similar build style offers a uniform feel and a nice sub-collection of sets. The number of Minifigures included in each set is perfect for the size of them and I also like they offer something new for some characters. more less

The ingenious packing of furniture and accessories inside 76383 Hogwarts Moment: Potions Class is definitely appealing and I like the consistent colour scheme inside. However, this set does rely heavily upon stickers and surpasses other Hogwarts Moment sets in that regard as some include more brick-built detail. This model does incorporate the fantastic snake carving though, which is probably my favourite single detail within this range. more less

Overall, I like the way the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Moments: Potions Class (76383) is more cohesive than the Transfiguration Class in terms of items in the class as well as how everything gets packed up when the book is closed. The only main downside to these sets are the stickers used for the detailing but it's a double-edged sword because the inside covers will be very bland without them and there's no way that LEGO will do printing on both sides of a cover. more less
