The colors may be a bit loud but I just don't see this as "juniorised dreck". I expect that when I get home this (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

I think I spot a rat...a Lego rat? mouse? In both #4722 (at his feet, under the red suitcase) & #4723 (on the mantle). It's dark grey and has a different tail then the kitten, unless this is a new kitten? There is a picture of a rat in a cage in the (...)

(...) Yep, like others, I'm skeptic. These sets, while following TLC's "bad design, good parts" record, just don't look Lego. If they are, I'll gladly eat crow, and go ahead and buy some of these, for the parts (I can't get over that spiral (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

Sigh...what a dissappointment these turned out to be. Such poor set designs - the few new pieces we get don't offset my disappointment much either. Did anyone notice the keys hanging in Hagrid's Hut?
