  There is a lot going on in this set which makes for a lot of play value. I think my favourite bit is the little greenhouse with the Mandrakes in their pots - okay, so the other half didn't appreciate me pulling them out and screaming each time but I was playing! Comes with a lot of little rooms which I didn't really expect. You get Professor Slughorn's office and the Ravenclaw Dormitory along with one room for the Orrery and one for the telescope. They are all small but you can get at least one mini figure in each along with their furnishings. There is a central hall portion with some cute shelves but the best bit is the little table with the chocolate fountain the middle. The build takes time but the instructions are clear, detailed and really are step by step so it feels relatively simple to construct. It is a little bit fragile like all large Lego buildings and you have to exercise some caution when playing. If you are going to leave it built up for game play it may be worth gluing it together but it is sturdy enough for a display shelf without that or for delicate play. Number Of Pieces: 971 Approximate Price Per Piece: £0.09 Build Time: 3.5 Hours

  Incentivized Review

  I have an 11 year old son that loves Harry Potter and Legos. When I saw this astronomy tower, I was super excited. It's a very large building and there are so many little details like books on the bookshelf, candles in several places, a table covered with little plates and food, spell books and a broom. All the lego characters are cute too and it's fun to try and figure out who they are. My son still has 1 bag left to build, but I am so impressed with this set. I'm excited to see the whole thing put together, but the little individual buildings are neat to explore. It is a bit difficult to build as there are so many tiny pieces, but there is a huge manual that gives detailed instructions to tell you where everything goes. So as long as you follow it, you don't skip anything. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves Legos and Harry Potter.

  Great addition

  This is another really detailed set consisting of some great scenes from the series. I really liked the table design and attire of the mini-figs as they went to the exclusive dinner party. My only really down sides to this set was the angle of the connection point when trying to lay these sets out on a shelf. I ended up having to attach it to the room of requirement, which I didn’t connect to the next set as the angle is wrong. I guess if you were putting these on a very wide shelf it wouldn’t matter but I think this wasn’t tested properly to line up on a display shelf. I’m sure the students in my class will love the addition when they return from lockdown and the scenes have been connecting really well and engaging them as we read the series in class. They loved the sorting hat and finding characters from the book to put it on and then shouting out the house name, we built it up as they slowly lowered the hat onto the mini-figs. The sets are really drawing them into the world of Harry Potter and well worth the money to motivate students reading. A parent even said their son never read at home and asked for his mum to go out and buy the books, so well done LEGO on helping to engage students.

  Astronomy Tower

  I would recommend this to a friend!

  Set does look good on exterior and includes great minifigures but I do wish the interior was just a little bit more. The actual astronomy part of the castle doesn't resemble how it did in the 6th movie too well. I think something much better and actually seen in the movies would have better than the raven claw room in my opinion. The office is also very tightly compacted. Also I do wish this set was $10 cheaper but hey universal tax man. The exterior does look really good though and it goes well with the other Hogwarts sets and that Draco Malfoy and Slughorne party figures look incredible although I do wish Snape was in this set as well.
