"I recently got back into building with legos so I don't really have anything to compare this set to, but I absolutely love it! It's just so cool to own, build, play with my own set of Hagrid's Hut. I love the details put into the hut (the light feature too!!) and also love all the minifigs, including Buckbeak of course! I haven't built legos since probably 2005-06? so I found a few new pieces which made it more exciting! It is a bit pricy - but I understand that lego building is not a cheap hobby! I found this at Costco for around $9-10 lower than the original price - and I do not regret the purchase."
