LEGO 76383 Harry Potter Hogwarts Moment: Potions Class, Collectible Book Toy for Kids, Travel Case, Portable Playset Gift Idea

Product Information

Golden patterns decorate the cover, including multiple icons relating to Potions. They include various bottles, mushrooms and a mysterious crystal which resembles the LEGO accessories. Furthermore, a detailed Hogwarts crest occupies the central position, displaying animals which are associated with each house above the famous Latin motto. Both minifigures are equipped with appropriate wands as Draco wields a dark brown accessory while Seamus carries a dark tan wand. Spares of three different colours are therefore provided along with various items of equipment for mixing potions.

Numerous bottles, jars and flasks are displayed against the wall, introducing nice splashes of bright colours which contrast against their muted surroundings. The trans-purple flask seems particularly attractive and I like how several of these jars are integrated directly with the wall, thereby saving space when the book is closed. There is a useful slot for Professor Snape's potions book as well. Personally, I have to say that I still prefer the 2010 minifigure of Snape. Mostly, I feel like the bright purple looks out-of-place on him; but I also miss the cape worn by earlier versions. For a character so often described as looking like a giant bat with his robes flapping behind him, the caped design felt very appropriate in this case! As mentioned above, the four Hogwarts Moment sets can be connected when closed and that option remains after opening them. Displaying the classrooms together looks impressive when the structure can be viewed from every side, although many LEGO fans possess limited space for that kind of display. Even so, different display options are invariably helpful. Still, I'm sure these will be a hit with Potter fans in the target age group! I know these would have been a hit with me at that age, if they'd been for a fandom I liked at the time; I had a (non-Lego) Star Wars playset that opened up in much the same way as a kid, and I loved it, so I imagine these to be similarly popular Professor Snape's oppressive Potions dungeon varies quite significantly from other classrooms throughout Hogwarts. I am therefore expecting substantive variation between 76383 Hogwarts Moment: Potions Class and the other sets from this intriguing collection.The books include dark tan pieces which enable them to be connected together and displayed like actual books. The resultant design appears fairly realistic and symbols denoting the varied subjects decorate the spines, clearly distinguishing this book that exhibits an apt cauldron icon. These connectors remain important when the models are opened. Each book from the Hogwarts Moment range features comparatively muted colours, ensuring that they complement one another on display. This example includes a sand green cover that suits Slytherin and I like the flame yellowish orange 2x2 curved corner tiles which adorn each model. These adaptable tiles have not appeared in flame yellowish orange before now.
