Amazon.co.uk Review
The inspired combination of Harry Potter and LEGO certainly made an impression on our two young testers; shortly after the challenge of building the LEGO Hogwarts Castle was set, they had planned out the pieces, having identified the characters and the settings from the book. Building the stunning replica of Hogwarts Castle was challenging and exciting and resulted in several hours of silence and unprecedented concentration. The stunning, unexpected details were impressive: trap doors, secret stairways, moving portraits, treasure chests, a working magnifying glass, an impressive holographic sticker, a glow-in-the-dark Voldemort and a Hagrid who, in comparison to the other figures, was a perfectly proportioned giant. The basic instructions were easy to follow and the castle can be built in many different ways, allowing children to use their imaginations and recreate scenes from the books. This is a sure-fire winner for any Harry Potter fan, and indeed for any LEGO fan. The Gryffindor Dormitory set and the Chamber of the Winged Keys are less difficult to build and would make great presents, particularly for younger Harry Potter fans, but when combined with the Hogwarts Castle set they add new dimensions to the scene. For once it seems that movie merchandise has really hit the spot. Age 7 (and a half!) and over. Susan Harrison

Manufacturer's Description
You'll find Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Hagrid and Dumbledore there, plus plenty of surprises! Row across the water in Hagrid's boat, climb the spiral staircase to confront a ghostly knight, or get some spell-casting tips from Headmaster Dumbledore himself. Look for hidden areas and secret compartments in the Great Hall and the Library, but watch out for the spiral staircase that spins in different directions!

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   28 of 29 people found the following review helpful: Best Harry Potter toy you can buy, 30 Oct 2001 By A Customer Durability: Fun: Educational: Most of the Harry Potter merchandise seems poorly thought out and just a chance to cash in on the craze - but not the Lego toys! This toy is wonderfully thought out, with many features to keep the little ones happy. On opening the box you find each section of the castle individually bagged. This prevents the kit from being overwhelming and makes it achievable for kids. Their imagination can run riot with this one and most of the main characters are included, so they can recreate their favourite stories with ease. I can't recommend this one highly enough - definitely THE Lego kit to get this Christmas  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Hours on end can be spent in the living room, bedroom or the playroom with this magnificent design from Lego. You can follow the instructions or build a design your own. It's brilliant! I will highly recommend this product to everyone I know, I've never seen anything like it. I knew the Harry Potter lego would be good but this is just fantastic! I like this product so much because it brings the story to life. Up till you could only imagine the building of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, but now there's no need to imagine, it's here for real! You will be lost in the dream world of Harry Potter for hours while playing with the lego building. As well as developing imagination it will develope concentration skills, and encourage children to read the books. Personaly I would like all of the Harry Potter lego because I think it's great, I think children of all ages will get a lot of pleasure out of the products, some more than others. If children haven't yet read all of the books, this creation should encourage them to read them. I think this because lego brings out the fun side of reading,you could read a chapter and then make the lego characters act it out! The lego will turn the magic into more magic. The imagination and creativity will live on and on and on forever!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
