I have to agree with a previous message about piece content vs set
creativity. I do think that the HP sets are lacking in a lot on the
building side. 4721, 4722, and 4723 just don't do it for me. Granted, I
love some of the pieces they have made (and personally, I'm really looking
forward to getting my hands on a Hagrid!), but they seem to have done so at
the cost of sets themselves.
