| The roof pieces on Hogwarts castle and on Hagrid's hut are plastic sheets, they could have made the roofs out of sloped BRICKS at least! The owls look nice, but one could overpopulate a forest quickly with all of those owls. Purple witch's hats! (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

| Oh wow. I didn't think they'd be this good. I mean, yes, they do seem a bit juniorized...but they have many, many pieces great for "castle" use. Purple wizard hats, black beards, two-headed dogs, jewels, cauldrons, new hair pieces, green convex (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

Thoroughly uninspiring ugly sets ugh. not sure about the new arched doorway pieces. looks thorougly unlego to me as it looks sculpted rather than flat with a printed pattern. same gos for the roof tiles.

| 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? And the sprial staircase! Those are the items (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

These will be great fun for young Harry Potter fans, as the sets capture all of the signature scenes from the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

| Over all I'm mostly happy. I'm happy with the parts, minifigs and accessories. The cardboard backgrounds and bright colors made me a bit ill. Tho I'm probablly gonna get 4721-4723 any way (and the colors are growing on me. I will definitlly get (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

And lampposts (which obviates the necessity of my having to grovel at anyone's feet to get these-- whew!)! I hope the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

| Every so often TLC reminds us that they make...(drumroll)...TOYS. For...(another drumroll)...KIDS. Further, that these toys are often poor! Very poor!! I've got a soft spot for the Cerberus Rock Monster clunker, but only because I'm a big dork. It's (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

| Hey, I didn't know the Gryffindor common room was decorated in the same color scheme as parents kitchen in the seventies. :) As much as I hate 'me too' posts, I'm pretty happy with the sets, but I buy LEGO moreso for the parts than the sets. -chris (23 years ago, 29-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)
