This set has has lot's of play features and comes with 3 exclusive minifigs which you can only get in this set. The first exclusive minifig is Gilderoy Lockhard who comes in his dark pink suit. The 2 rare characters which are included in this set are Tom Riddle with the yellow skin and Ginny Weasley with the yellow skin. You also get a basic Harry Potter and a basic Ron Weasley minifig in this model. This set is also the only set which comes with a phenix and a huge snake, which is called a basilisk.
The build was long, and it was also a lot of fun. This scene includes the bathroom where Harry, Ron and Lockhard come into the chamber. What I like about this scene is, are the walls, which have a big snake head on them. Also, the shields on the top of the snake's head look very interesting. One feature on one side of the walls is that you can push the walls down to see the wizard hat, for example. On the other side, the walls are open, and you can see a sword and a snake. The last part which we get is the gate which you can open to free the basilisk. This set also included Tom Riddles diary. I love the play features which we get here, and I really can't complain about 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.
