  pure Lego/Potter fun!

  drunybrick

  I would recommend this to a friend!

  Purchased for: Self

  my wife and i have been building Lego Potter sets since Covid started,it gave us much fun while being at home and has turned into a passion, we try to finish 1 bag of bricks per night, unfortunately we have built allLlego potter sets available,cant wait for attack on the burrow to be back in stock(only one we don't have). Diagon Alley is the most challenging and enjoyable set yet. Don't let the price deter you because it is really 4 sets in 1, works out to be about 100 dollars per building which is in line with other sets.Building it was a blast and the finished product is spectacular.

  Wasted Opportunity

  RiRi

  Purchased for: Son

  My son and I are huge Harry Potter fans. We have an entire Harry Potter LEGO village. I bought him this as a Christmas gift. I live in Canada so this set with tax is over 560$. What a wasted opportunity to make something great by choosing to cut corners. This was my most disappointing build of all the HP sets. People have complained about the set having too many stickers. Some pieces require 3 stickers on it. The worst is the Weasley Wheezes (where the outer signs look terrible) but they all have significant amount of stickers which cheapens it and I’m sure they will peel and lift as the stickers aren’t even a good quality. It was just plain lazy for LEGO. This is a collector display set. The other issue is the colour combinations are terrible. I wish they stuck to richer shades vs the pastels. The prettiest build is the first building. Another complaint is there is no space inside the shops. The build spills out onto the table as if it wasn’t long enough that they couldn’t make space for the figures. Some of the details are missed because it’s all hidden and tucked away. Also why so many tiny pieces? The last issue was getting the hat to move. They didn’t do this easily. It took a while to figure it out and tiny hands to clip it. The good thing is from far it’s pretty I like displaying them separately. Also it looks like they have left it so other modules can be added. I hope they do as many iconic buildings are missing, but NO STICKERS! It at times was fun to build but it wasn’t exciting like the other sets. Would I recommend it? I don’t think so. It’s quality doesn’t meet expectations for a nearly 600$ set.

  Colors of the Rainbow

  Brickster

  I would recommend this to a friend!

  Overall, I think people will buy all 4 buildings anyway. But it would be nice if they can be sold separately so people can choose which ones to buy. I think the following designs are nice. But I still prefer blocks to be put together instead of hanging loosely. Just need to have a list to check in case I move the buildings and see if anything drop: Ollivanders – 2 wand boxes, ladder Daily Prophet – newspaper stack in carton Flourish and Blotts - Wingardium Leviosa book on display Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour – 2 chairs Other than that, I watched/read some comments about building color too bright (pink). I can understand that but after building the more “realistic” ones (Ollivanders), I do find building bright color quite refreshing. Also, this set has all colors of the rainbow and more. So a lot of bricks to play with. E.g. just taking the building structure on the roof from Quality Quidditch Supplies let me build Umbridge’s pink office. I think most like Weasley's Wizard Wheezes best. But somehow I am not too excited about that so I repurpose that to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions . With that, pretty much have all the stores to get ready for Hogwarts. As for Knockturn Alley, hope it can be separated from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes so can place it anywhere or according to some Diagon Alley/Knockturn Alley layout. In fact, it would be great if for each “set”, the 2 stores can be separated so they can be placed anywhere or closer to what the “real” layout is. I was able to separate out Knockturn Alley. Just have to remember which part of the structure is weaken to be careful. And I think some said there are too many Harrys. But I end up thinking I need MORE Harry. (Reading/having ice-cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, book signing with Lockhart, accidental show up at Knockturn Alley, 1st fateful encounter with Malfoy at “Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions”, even before meeting Ron and Hermione!) Now just have to see what Lego will come up next. (I guess will need to rebuild Weasley's Wizard Wheezes if they end up making a real Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.) P.S. Over 5000 pieces, I keep thinking finally Lego is missing pieces. But always turn out I was actually wrong. Kudos to Lego on that.

  Fun birthday gift

  Spacegirl

  I would recommend this to a friend!

  My boyfriend bought this for me as a birthday present as I made an offhand comment about liking Lego but not being able to justify spending money on it myself and I have been blown away by it! I've completed the set in about two weeks, working on it when I have free time and the details are amazing. In fact it took us about 7 hours to build the first shop because we kept stopping to marvel at how cool all the tiny details were! As someone who hasn't had Lego before I was worried id get frustrated with it but the instructions are clear and the construction is fun! I would definitely recommend to any Harry potter fan.
