Great Fun - But Probably Not Aimed at My Age Group!,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I eagerly unwrapped the smart Lego box and was delighted to find it was suitable for those aged 8+ - it sounded right up my street!
Following the plans, I quickly assembled the castle/game and was pleased with how rapidly I was able to follow the instructions. When a friend pointed out that I am in fact fifty years old, I confess it took the sheen off my pleasure. All joking aside I'd comment that Lego has moved on since I first opened a box some 40-odd years ago, but this has been a necessarily evolution as the company strives to maintain a share of the marketplace. Kids these days are more savvy and exposed to all manner of competing attractions. Can a plastic toy still enchant and enthral like it did in the mid-late 1960s? Not being 8-12 (possibly the age group the makers are aiming for) I can't comment, but I must confess that I enjoyed the time I spent with it. Hopefully, the fact that it features characters from one of the most popular book series' of all time will give it more credibility with the pre-teen generation. So, this is a toy, albeit updated, from a more innocent age. The game itself may be a bit too basic perhaps for those weaned on the likes of Wii and PlayStation, but the sheer tactile joy of assembling the plastic pieces will surely put a smile on many a young `un's face. I found the whole experience rather charming, even if I am a bit older than its target audience. I'm not meant to give away or dispose of any Amazon Vine products I've ordered, however, on this occasion, I hope they won't mind me giving this to a local children's ward where I'm sure it will provide many hours of entertainment. A lovely product that brought back happy memories.

Just like Labyrinth,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I can't praise this game enough! I have two children aged 5 and 7 and despite the age guidance of 8 years + they both love playing it and we have had several games already. Both of my girls are avid fans of the game labyrinth, and this is very similar with a lego twist. If you haven't played labyrinth and like board games I would warmly recommend you buy that one as well. You roll a dice and move the walls of the Hogwarts castle about in an attempt to collect pieces for your homework. Strategy plays a part because you can move the pieces both to help yourself and delay your opponents. The board is well designed and well made and you can recognise the characters and the pieces look like magic.
On top of all of this making the castle was great fun. And as it is lego it lets you make changes and make up your own rules. In summary: great to play and great to build, warmly recommended.

Hogwarts Homework,

This review is from: Lego Games 3862: Harry Potter Hogwarts (Toy)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Lego has switched from the vanilla packs of blocks of my day (usually used to construct tanks or rockets) to the new sets where you get all the pieces you need to make the subject of the set - in this case Hogwarts. Predictably this has raised questions as to whether modern children are using their imaginations (presumably to build tanks and rockets like I did). Fortunately, I can simply enjoy assembling the kit while hoping for a spare great-nephew to provide cover for doing so.
The limits of the set as to making different things are reversed by the challenging game in which you (as students at the Academy) need to move around collecting their homework by means of the moving stairways. By the use of a rather neat customisable dice you can re-arrange the stairways to get you to where you want to go, and (of course) delay your chums. There are added rules for Dumbledore and the cat. It might not be old Lego but I think you'll find imaginations stimulated just as before.
