The Hogwarts Express my daughter won recently arrived today. As it rained
all day, we spent the afternoon putting it together. Kathryn (aged 5) was
able to put together the Hogwarts train platform, and also perfectly able to
put all the stickers on straight (something I have difficulty with at
times). She also put together the bottom half of the train carriage, found
it a little difficult to do the top half so I did that and then she asked me
to put the locomotive together as she was tired of it by then. I found the
overall appearance and design very good, the only thing I was very
disappointed about was the wheels, but I was already aware of that failing
and had ordered train wheels and bogie plates from Lego S@H last week. I
feel that the Hogwarts Express would have been better off to have come with
proper train wheels and bogie plates, even if the designers planned it as a
push-a-long model. In the past Lego had trains that came as push-a-long and
then could be turned into battery operated or electric trains later on, and
I feel they would have done better to do this with the Hogwarts Express, it
would still have had the same or even better play value.
