I saw Dumbledore's Tower, The Dark Forest With Aragog, The Wizard's Duel, and The House Of (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Some sets that's true (most of 4730), others its not. For example, if you take off the green roof bits of 4735 slytherin, it's not nearly as tall as the module needs to be to work with the other modules, which are all thirteen bricks tall (...) (22 years ago, 28-Sep-02, to lugnet.harrypotter)

Stopped at the LEGO Imagination Center at the Mall of America today, and picked up a couple of the new Harry Potter sets. Much to my surprise, the first one I opened had a mistake in it! My Harry minifig has the wrong torso -- he doesn't have his (...) (22 years ago, 27-Sep-02, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.dear-lego)

I think you are supposed to take the sand green roof pieces off, and then you find that they stack nicely. Of course, i don't own any of them, but I can see it in the pictures rather clearly. -Alfred (...) (22 years ago, 27-Sep-02, to lugnet.harrypotter)

I disagree with Kecia. I have the new sets, and while they may seem like they are part of the modular design, there are many "topper" modules. Most aren't able to have other sets stacked ot top of them, only able to "sit" on other modules. ie:what (...) (22 years ago, 26-Sep-02, to lugnet.harrypotter)
