Limited Horsepower
" I like the individual elements of the set regardless of H.P.. I bought it variously for the horses, the carriage and the Hagrid figure, largely because of that great beard-hair piece. But the figure itself is fairly versatile, especially for the technic pin arms.
My one complaint and this was not clear to me from the images, is that the horse to carriage size proportion is downright comical. The carriage looks as though it is being pulled by miniature pegasi.
With that said there were images that did not place the horses in front of the carriage (which give the horses a forced, larger perspective to the carriages slightly distant and smaller perspective), however I clearly was not paying attention. Still, I like the set for all the useful elements and the beautifully engineered carriage. Piece count was perfect as usual!

All parts present
" In the dozens of sets I have purchased, I have only encountered a single missing piece, a small barrel stud in a Ninjago set. Quite frankly I was relieved due to lego’s preternatural part accounting ability, especially when they number in the tens of thousands, and range widely in shape and size. I guess they have seriously accurate assembly and packing machinery. With that said and after reading the reviews of a number of people with missing parts, I thought Lego’s rep would be tarnished for me, happily their record remains intact. I have absolutely no interest in the core material this set represents, actually I wanted an expansive and mod-able indoor set design for a photo-graphic novel mashup I create with legos. This was perfect, and the details are fantastic for my purposes. Despite the intended celebrity identity of the mini-figures, they will do nicely as well dressed generic personalities. Really very pleased with this set. "
