Not what I was expecting
" I don't WANT to say it but this set is unbelievably disappointing.
In the films, the dragon is pretty big and its head actually looks cool. Lego used a questionable head mold and it just looks ugly. In hand, its better than in the pictures but the mold also feels quite flimsy.
The body is just. Weird. The dragon just doesn't look good in any way. it's a real shame. I honestly would have been 10x happier if they had used the 2010 castle dragon mold if you know what I'm talking about.
The tent is small but it's not lacking like the dragon is.
The figures are fantastic with the exception of Krum. His hairpiece just isn't doing it for me. Looks more like Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park.
the little golden egg/rock combo is fine. Doesn't need to be any bigger or smaller so that's good.
It's just a real let down with the dragon. I know they couldn't have gone too big because this was meant to be around the $30-$50 price range. But if you can't get a good dragon then I would have made the second challenge.
What the sett excels at is playability. The dragon although ugly works quite well for it's purpose. The wings feel sturdy but the will probably wear out quickly.
The scene this is from (movies, not books. where Harry just kind of confused it.) is exciting enough that I think young collectors and adults will really enjoy re-creating this scene.

I'm very torn with this set. It's good but bad. But great. But disappointing.
This really is your decision.

Fantastic, must buy for HP fans.
" I got this set for my birthday and was very happy with it. I wouldn't say its GREAT for playability, but I have played with it loads and can confirm that it does have at least SOME play value. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and this set has so many good easter eggs it's amazing.
Most of the time I've spent with it is from either fixing it after my cats run around my lego table or just staring at it, moving the mini-minifigs around.
The only area I would say is kind of meh, is the Gryffindor common room. I still feel its kind of pointless, and ugly. But I can't come up with anything better so whatever.
The main aqueduct is kinda tricky to put into place. And the great hall and Gryffindor tower section are rather stressful to carry around because the tower isn't really part of the main structure so it moves around. And just a heads up, when you're carrying the Library part make sure not to put any pressure on the Aqueduct because it'll fall out.
