My mom said you can never go wrong with Lego and as parent I agree! We purchased this for my daughters birthday and quite frankly were amazed at the detail, quality and value of this set! Now do not get me wrong – there is work involved in this, lots of it! But I like the fact that it is a great project, is great for a team effort, keeps the kids engaged and everyone knows that hard work will be worth the end result! As for that end result – well you get three amazing and intricate buildings that allow kids to let their imaginations run wild as they play out the Harry Potter scenes: Gringott’s Bank – this can be used two ways, as a small building or you can actually open the building up to both show the detail and allow more playability for kids. Then we have Borgin and Burke’s – the fun here is the glow in the dark feature, which our kids really loved especially as my daughter kept this set up in her room. The finally, in terms of buildings there is Ollivander’s where there is even the effect of an explosion to be had! Trust me, lego spared neither attention to detail or the extra effects on this one! For me, I was also happy that this set included lots of mini figures, 11 to be exact, which was great as the lack of figures has maybe been the only downfall in some of the other sets from this series! The instructions were comprehensive and easy to follow though the construction was somewhat challenging at times.

My 10 y.old is a big Harry Potter and Lego’s fan. She had Hogwarts, Quiditch set, and wanted this one for the holidays. She loves it. It’s not easy, and takes a lot of time for assebling. But it’s so much fun for her, and finished stores look amazing.
My 9 year old loves this set even though he is younger than the suggested age of 14 (he has put together LOTS of Legos). I wouldn’t recommend it for young kids who haven’t built with Legos before as it is more complicated that most sets for younger kids. However, for expert younger builders, it is great! The buildings have great “extras” including window decorations, a revolving fireplace, and great roof features.
My 9 y/o grandson just loves these Lego’s. He gets a great sense of fulfillment building and completing these excellent toys.
Bought this for my granddaughter who is on her 5th! reading of the Harry Potter series. She has discovered the Legos and is building an entire “Harry Potter Land.”
The previous reviews must have been for personal sellers increasing cost to make themselves a buck. Amazon price, 149.99, is the same as Lego.
This was the best present for a child who is both a Harry Potter and/or Lego fanatic. Also especially great for a child who has been to Diagon Alley at Universal. It was a wonderful reminder of our trip together. The suggested age is 14+, but he is just 7 and has been doing like sets (Hogwarts Castle) for at least a year.
This set is lots of fun. Great construction creativity in the stock design with lots of room for improvisation. It’s gorgeous when complete. Who knew I would seriously consider Lego Harry Potter as a legit decorating theme for the dining room…
