A spine-tingling set with lots of magical details!
" With "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" being my favorite of the Potter films, I've really been enjoying LEGO's 2019 "Goblet of Fire"-related releases. While the Little Hangleton graveyard in "The Rise of Voldemort" is a lot smaller than the "Graveyard Duel" set from 2005, it's a vast improvement in both playability and movie-accuracy, and is well worth the $20 price-tag.
At only 184 pieces, the build itself is pretty quick, but that's not to say it's bare-bones. Not only do you get the iconic Riddle tombstone with the Angel of Death figure, there's also a raised hill with gravestones and a hidden compartment where Voldemort can "rise again" before his duel with Harry. Even as small a set as it is, there is still a lot of space to display the figures and accurately recreate scenes from the film. The accessories are fantastic, with the requisite "flesh, blood, and bone," a cauldron, a dagger, a swaddled Voldemort, and even a brick-built Triwizard Cup. While the minifigures are the same four that came with 2005's "Graveyard Duel" (Triwizard Harry, Voldemort, Wormtail, and a Death Eater), the new movie-accurate face and body prints are reason enough to invest in this set. Wormtail even has a silver hand! While it would have been nice to have Cedric Diggory as well, he's easy enough to add on from last year's bagged series.
As a massive Harry Potter fan, I'm extremely impressed with the job LEGO did with this set, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!
