Fantastic sources of parts. 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.

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)

I do like some of the Harry Potter sets. But I don't like the way Lego used cardboard for buildings in the background. (23 years ago, 28-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.castle)

I went back to the toy store that had the box mock ups, and took a few notes. There are probably some details I overlooked because I don't know much about HP. 4701 Sorting Hat HP in a black conical hat (seemed like the old cone hat from the castle (...)

I was just doing a little surfing and found a few pictures of some really old train sets that have similar wheels to the Hogwarts Express. It looks like they've used the old wheels and changed them to use the newer pegs instead of however they (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.trains)

I think the castle and the train both look pretty cool. They'll both almost certainly end up in my collection. John Hansen (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.harrypotter)
