RONALD WEASLEY, HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR?!
" This may be my favorite set from the 2018 Harry Potter line. Not only does it include great rooms from the movies (like Snape's Office, the Potion Classroom, and the Gryffindor Dormitory) but it also includes an impressively accurate Whomping Willow model that moves AND Arthur Weasley's flying Ford Anglia. I'm a huge fan of the new student minifigs as well--their short legs are way more accurate and it makes them so much cuter than previous iterations. This set looks great connected to the Great Hall set, but even by itself it's absolutely awesome.

A Wish Come True
" I've been a fan of both Disney and LEGO all my life, so when they announced a LEGO rendition of this icon I knew I had to have it. The set took upwards of 10 hours of complete spread out over a few days, but the payoff is unparalleled in my opinion. This castle is an honestly stunning display piece. It's richly detailed and filled with delightful Easter eggs any Disney enthusiast will love. The Minifigures are adorable--and the exclusive Tinkerbell is potentially my all-time favorite mining ever made. I won't beat around the bush though; this is one expensive set, so I don't see this as much of a playset (to be honest I can't even imagine letting kids play with it) but LEGO did an excellent job at incorporating easy access in the back to lots of fun details that kids could enjoy. All-in-all (and Disney fanboy aside) I think this set is one of the most impressive builds LEGO has ever released, and I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who might be on the fence about it.

Some of LEGO's Finest Work
" From the moment I saw the first preview images this set has been number one on my list. I was lucky enough to get it on release day and I have to say, it's honestly a masterpiece. Even though you can connect it to the Whomping Willow set (and it seems they might have left room for additional sets to connect in the future) this model is incredibly detailed and charming on its own. From the Mirror of Erised to the candles floating overhead in the Great Hall, this set is literally jam-packed with delightful details from the Wizarding World. I'd say it's an absolute MUST for any Harry Potter fan, and an awesome build that's fun to play with and display even if you aren't one.
