What I really wanted was the big Hogwarts Castle, but as I found the price a wee bit steep I opted for the smaller Hogwarts set. I really like it, and my little girl enjoys playing with it. She is too young to build it, but she is quite taken with the collapsable bridge and the mini-figures. I like the attention to detail given how little space the building takes up. My favorite rooms are the potion room and the divination class room with its crystal ball.
The only minus are the mini-figures chosen - or rather not chosen - for this set. Why is professor Sprout included - and on the instructions placed in the divination room and not professor Trelawney? And why no Snape when there is a potions room?
Actually I do have one more problem with this set: It makes me want to buy the big expensive set too now.
