Item#:  4757 Hogwart's Castle

Hey Brad, thanks for the review.  I'm looking forward to getting this set.  Do
you have the origninal Hogwarts?  I'm wondering how they look if you put them
together.


"lots" of dark gray plates - This is a good way to start your collection
filling with new gray parts!

That sounds good.  My main concern with the new grays is the difficulty of
building up enough to build anything with, so this set may be the start I need
on that.

White feather pieces with black markings - used on the top of "potions."  I
haven't seen these before and they look cool.

Looking at the Toyfair pics on FBTB:

Those were the feathers for American Indians found in the Western theme sets:

large oblong shield with lion on it - I don't think I've seen this pattern
before

That was in the previous Hogwarts as well (the suit of armor was holding it):

What did you think of the Dementers?
