LEGO Harry Potter 4708: Hogwarts Express


Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Steam proudly into the magical world of Harry Potter with the LEGO Hogwarts Express. Whether you're a Harry Potter nut, a LEGO fanatic or simply adore well-built collector trains the LEGO Hogwarts Express is a must.

Open the beautifully illustrated pack to reveal the hundreds of bricks needed to build an engine, a carriage and of course the unique Platform 9 and ¾. LEGO have enclosed a 48-page instruction booklet to carefully guide you through the step-by-step construction process. But like all great building projects this one takes time and you will need to allow approximately 1 ¼ hours to build.

The bright red engine is a true masterpiece even among LEGO's own high standards. Enjoy the reward of building, brick by brick, that magnificent red engine proudly displaying its Hogwarts Express 5972 shield. Lift up one of the three engine lids to reveal a secret storage place--perfect for the little LEGO suitcase and two golden keys. And just in case the secret treasure is about to fall into the hands of "you know who", the young LEGO wizard can flip a small switch on the piston to shoot the suitcase out of the engine.

The carriage itself is just as magical with a lifting top. Peep inside the carriage to see the young heroes excitedly discussing their next term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter, Fred Weasley and Hermione Granger are all LEGO style, but nonetheless true to their characters. Harry is complete with glasses and his famous scar, Fred sports his distinctive red hair and Hermione is as girly a swot as we imagined her. Naturally all three friends are complete with their magic cloaks, wands and their own special pet.

And finally there's Platform 9 and ¾ built with its own special revolving door to allow Harry to swap the oppressive world of Privet Drive for the thrill and excitement that is Hogwarts.

LEGO Hogwarts Express is a truly magical gift for any Harry Potter or LEGO fan, from eight years to as old as the oldest Harry Potter enthusiastic. --Victoria McKenzie

5.0 out of 5 stars Great toy but just a tad too dear, 30 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This is another wonderful toy from Lego.
It is well thought out and the inclusion of the platform makes it an excellent all round set.
I just felt that £40 was a little too much for this set. At between £30 and £35 it would definitely be better value for money but as the kids will play with this one again and again it's still a worthy buy but not as good value as the Hogwarts set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all the family..., 9 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Since the family like Lego trains and are all addicted to Harry Potter, we weren't disappointed by this set.

Fashioned to appeal to those without an existing Lego train set, but with instructions on how to motorise it if you do have one, this model also has a feast of features guaranteed to appeal to Potter fans! Hidden compartments, a missing toad, Harry, Ron and Hermione all appear, as does Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross.

As ever, the best recommendation is that of the kids' - they played with it all day...

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic comes to life, 6 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The Hogwarts Express is great fun to build and the details are just as you imagine when you read the books. While waiting for the next Rowling magical adventure you can dream up your own using the usual extras that Lego provide. The characters can change into their gowns ready for the new terms adventure and travel in the carriages along with their owls and wands. Even the engine hides lots of exciting extras including a special green creature maybe you know who?
