Recommendation: meh 8.8 / 10 by Clone OPatra

This set isn't thrilling, but I would certainly pick it up for the minifigures, especially if you don't already have Voldemort and Narcissa.

Overall a nice set, I would've liked a little more playability, but seeing the limitations to this set, I can't complain much. It's got good value, especially if you're into collecting licensed Minifigs.

Of the 3 Harry Potter LEGO sets I purchased for my 9-year-old grandson his was by far my favorite. I love the figurines. I have always thought LEGO's were overpriced - small plastic pieces - which honestly, the figurines break easily. But my grandson absolutely loved this one. I was told by a couple of adults at the party that LEGO's are worth the price. Not sure I agree - but considering I know very little about LEGO's and my grandson has a large collection - he thought this was great so it gets a 5 star rating!!

Buy it. It's cheap, easy and full of useful parts and peeps. Other than the Knight Bus, it's the only set I didn't think twice about buying and as soon as I see it on sale I will again if based on nothing more than that mushroom.

Upon completing the build, I found myself disappointed in the limitations that came with the brick and set. There is not much to the tree, but the figs are pretty cool. I probably would not have bought the set if I had no needed a quick and easy tree in a pinch for a diorama, and while I like Harry Potter I did not need the figs that came with them. I am afraid I can not recommend the set unless it has what you are looking for. There are cooler $12 sets out there. The figs, however, are the best part for the different torsos, and the tree provides a few good brown pieces in case you want to make a larger, fuller tree utilizing the set.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
