Probably the best I've ever built
" I usually buy all the Starwars lego sets, but over the Christmas period my wife has started joining in more and more with my builds.
Because of this I decided to change my usual theme and buy this Hogwarts set for us both to complete during an isolation period after an holiday.
Its fair to say we both wasn't disappointed!
The set took us a few hours over 4 days without rushing.
I have read other 0reviews complaining about the "microfigures", but I do believe this scale is essential in order to maintain maximum detail of the build.
For instance, the independent "Great Hall" set, doesn't have the right tower height, nor does it have the 3 tiny towers off the main steeple, like this set does.
There is a lot of intricate building like the stain glass windows etc, but the end result is incredible.
I love the chamber of secret theme that is interpretated throughout the design aswel.
Another issue people mention is bricks breaking off and not fitting correctly. For me I take my time and make sure every piece is connected correctly and sits in the perfect orientation, therefore I have had zero issues.
I will have this as a display rather than a set to play with. I do believe the moduler sets of hogwarts would be better if playing was you intended purpose.
Thanks again for this design masterpiece! "
