About this deal

HP prices have always been the most reasonable. They have seemed like a great deal compared with SW. Yet, the duplication of characters (Harry, Ron, and Hermione) is teadious but unavoidable (Luke, R2, etc.). It is irritating that they are going past the ideal PPP, but so is almost everything. The new version of Peter Pettigrew shares various similarities with the minifigure from 75965 The Rise of Voldemort, including the same striped suit and wrinkled face. Despite those overt resemblances, this minifigure is almost completely different, sharing only his dark orange hair element with the previous Peter Pettigrew design.

This LEGO Harry Potter set also comes with 4 random wizard card tiles (16 in total) for kids to collect. The free LEGO Building Instructions app lets kids view, zoom and rotate the model as they build. There is a whole world of magic recreated in LEGO style, this set is perfect to expand LEGO Harry Potter collections or to surprise a little wizard or witch fan with Harry Potter gift for kids 9+ years old. More recognisable details are present on the first floor, where the characters gather to reveal Sirius' true allegiance and the identity of Peter Pettigrew. The dark tan fireplace and damaged painting, for example, both originate from the movie. The grand piano is similarly accurate and I am glad the designer was able to recreate this piano, despite the limited available room. Yep. I've had more boxes smashed horribly from buying at Lego.com than I did going to the local Lego store and grabbing their smash-n-dents at 10% sale. Probably should've complained.

Manual

Delight Harry Potter fans of all ages with this LEGO Harry Potter set, detailing a modular version of The Ministry of Magic! It’s the first LEGO set to feature the magical headquarters in such accurate detail. The design of HP sets seems to be getting better. This set is fun, has nice interior detail, and the exterior is really impressive. Sure, but let's say the total cost of producing a unit has increased by X. TLG is not increasing the retail price by X. They are increasing it by X + Y, where Y is the profit margin they want to hit. So I don't think any company should be let off the hook because of inflation. They are making sure they still hit or exceed their profit numbers.

Additionally, the professor's head is now clean-shaven, revealing the characteristic scratches across his face. This reddish brown hair piece remains unaltered though, which is appropriate because it looks superb. However, maybe even more appealing is the accompanying werewolf minifigure, which portrays Lupin's ferocious alternative form! If you no longer want to use your phone or tablet with your smart TV or streaming device, you can unlink them. Once a device has been removed, you'll have to use a new code to relink the device again. Let fans of the mythical films build, display and ‘fly’ one of the most threatening dragons ever to have lived in the Wizarding World! The LEGO Harry Potter Hungarian Horntail Dragon figure is based on the fearsome dragon from the Triwizard Tournament.

Looks really good. Will probably get this Winter Village mkII set around October, with the standard Winter Village realease (and when it will likely be around 30% cheaper). " I agree. Wondering how I should fit it into the WV? Perhaps as a home for the Yeti 71002-8, or for a crotchety grinch-like character? The 3x3 round tile which represents the moon actually glows in the dark, re-using an element from 76190 Iron Man: Iron Monger Mayhem. The transformation function and glow-in-the-dark moon are both beautifully integrated, working perfectly and not detracting from the appearance of the set whatsoever. Snow covers the building, reminiscent of 76388 Hogsmeade Village Visit. However, I think this example appears slightly more realistic, including icicles and drifted snow on windowsills. The dark brown windows and dark tan frames are similarly effective because they contrast against the reddish brown walls, while their elongated shape gives the desired appearance of imposing height. Hogwarts Whomping Willow included the first LEGO rendition of the Whomping Willow, taking inspiration from its encounter with the Weasleys' flying Ford Anglia. This design exhibits outward similarities with its predecessor, but avoids any incongruous colours and fragile foliage, both of which detracted from the earlier model.

Reddish brown stripes decorate Peter's suit, which corresponds with the source material and appears fittingly ragged. The exclusive head is certainly my favourite aspect of this minifigure though, presenting perfect expressions. One side seems nervous and somewhat sympathetic, while the other displays a sinister smile. The hair element and double-sided head remain identical though, which is fortunate because I think Sirius' raging expression looks fantastic. The character's Animagus form is also included, with striking yellow eyes and simple fur printing around the head. This shape does not entirely reflect Padfoot's appearance onscreen, but provides a satisfactory likeness and represents an enticing addition to this set.The ground floor only appears briefly during The Prisoner of Azkaban, so this area is sparsely furnished. Nevertheless, the gloomy interior looks great, including dark orange and dark green highlights, which interrupt the otherwise drab colours. I like the pearl dark grey chest too, shared with 76397 Hogwarts Moment: Defence Against the Dark Arts Class. S15 Faun, Dimensions Stripe (Gremlins), Flying Monkey No.1 and No.2 (TLBM), and Demogorgon (Stranger Things).
