I got one from Argos too.
I'm afraid you're wrong about the blue - it's Life-on-Mars light blue. If
you sit it next to some Maersk blue from Legoland you can see the
difference. Maersk blue is more cyanic and a little duller.
The car looks good on the box, but when you build it it's huge. Scale-wise
it's about 8 feet high! The tyres sticking out are daft.
There's one very clever design feature though. It has tiles for seats, but
if you sit a minifig in it and close the doors there's no way they can fall
out. But, remove the 2x2 round plate from the ceiling inside and they won't
stay put.
I think the house looks great from the front, plus it's open to view the
detail from the rear. It even has Harry's bed under the stairs - and the
stairs are a brown one-piece.
I quite like the Yoda brown colour, so if you want to split another one let
me know - I'd be after most of the house (the windows, stairs, stone clad
POOPs, earth-brown and tan bricks, and the greenery).
