This castle is very exciting, and I love the way LEGO® did the playability. This castle is not that detailed as the 2010 version, but it's still awesome. You also can't complain about the number of minifigs which we get in this model. This set includes 9 minifigs in total. It comes with Harry Potter™, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Hagrid, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, a knight statue and a ghost who is supposed to be Peeves. The bags in this set are numbered for an easy build.
The build is awesome, and the whole castle is very sturdy. We get a boat, a little gate, a building with a big room where the students and teachers are eating which has got a chimney, a place where you can hide the ghost behind the rock on the top of the chimney, a box where you can hide some stuff have the inside and a sviwel card which shows you a picture of Dumbledore. We also get a flag which has a sticker for the house gryffindor and the house slytherin on each side. You also can hide some stuff under Dumbledore's chair.
The other building has a library and the room for the gryffindor with the picture which is supposed to be the entrance. This picture is a sticker which you have to put on a sviwel wall piece. There's also a spiral stair, which is nice about this set. I really can't complain about the stuff which we get in this set.
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
I bought this product myself. Nothing has been sponsored by the LEGO® group or by third parties.
