I bought this for my grandson's 6th birthday. Even though he does not read, he was able to follow the instructions for building the castle by looking at the pictures and diagrams. He needed a little help at times in identifying pieces by their length. Since I have read the first two Harry Potter books to him, he was very interested in the Lego castle. He spent two days engrossed in the building of the castle. There were many small details that made the castle worth the extra cost, and the figures of the Harry Potter character's were also a plus. After it was together, he really didn't do much with it, but the assembly, for him, made this his favorite gift.
I must say this is a great set. 5378 Hogwarts Castle is well designed with cool accesoires and pieces. I don't like the fact that there are much open spaces in the castle, but that's with every LEGO building. But the castle has a nice overall look, so it isn't a big issue. The greenhouse, on the other hand, is perfect. There aren't big gaps in it, just beneath the trans clear windows (to let the air in, very accurate) and the architecture is pretty good. The highlights in this set are the figures: new and exclusive designs are always welcomed. I also like the two thestrals and the mandrakes.
