The roof is held together with a rubberband? You need say no more. What comes
to mind are those ramps for the little LEGO racers-- thin plastic with a fold
pressed into them and held in place by a rubberband-- something I'd expect of a
$2.99 set but not a $29.99 set.

That's Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwart's!

That's Norbert, the baby dragon Hagrid hatched in his fireplace!

I think the two sets I've bought so far are great! It's true I do look at them
as accessory packs rather than a source for building parts. But I look at
#5823 Millimy's Bedroom and #5824 Millimy's Magical Cottage the same way, and
they're two of my favorite sets!

I usually only pay retail for sets exclusive to S@H, but I paid retail for
these. (Okay, okay, so I just went out and paid retail for the 6776 Ogel set,
but those were special circumstances!) Anyway, I think the HP sets are
definitely worth it, if only for the variety of elements and colors. Plus, I
think these sets will also appeal more to girls than many other themes (Alpha
Team for instance).
