This set is awesome! I love the level of detail and the variety of characters! Also, this set is well-designed and STURDY. It is easily movable, and sturdy enough that pieces do not fall off. It's great to get the trio, Malfoy and the Hufflepuff girl in one set, along with all of the staff members (Richard Harris Dumbledore, Susan Bones and Nearly Headless Nick are great additions to the Potter minifigure lineup!I love that Lego has been releasing new, minor characters in the Harry Potter line, as it does with Star Wars. (Keep it up Lego!)The accessories are also fantastic - the sorting hat is a great rendition, and the inclusion of Susan Bones really helps bring that scene to life in this model.

I first have to start off by saying how happy I am that Lego has reintroduced a Harry Potter line. Secondly I have to say that I'm happy to see that the Lego has returned to releasing buildings/play sets for this line as opposed to the constant stream of vehicles with relatively little play set play value that we have seen from lines like Star Wars. Actual structures/buildings/etc. allow for Lego fans to actually use their imagination and set up scenes instead of just lining up a row of vehicles. This Hogwarts set is pretty good. Great hall is... well great! I do have a few issues though. First, the staircase that leads to Dumbledore's office is a nice callback to the old sets,

The Great Hall set is the latest in line of Harry Potter sets I have built, and it certainly delivers on quality and detail. It comes with an abundance of minifgures, of which I found Neraly Headless Nick most impressive. Professor Quirrell minifigure also comes with a "Voldemort" face on the other side, which is a nice touch, and I found Professor McGonagall's facial expressions amusing. The children minifigures have short legs, but not moveable as they do in the Minifigure bag collection.The building experience is very good, it was particularly satisfying to build the exterior of the Great Hall. The finished result is beautiful. Other details I have enjoyed were the moving stairs,

With the beginning of the new J.K. Rowling-written series Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there was a great opportunity for LEGO to dust off its Harry Potter licence and release not just sets based on the new movies, but also create or re-imagine sets featuring elements of the original series of Harry Potter movies. Badged as 'Wizarding World', these new sets can be accused of being a cash-in, but equally they also offer an opportunity for fans to pick up models that never previously existed or versions of sets they may have missed on initial release.Hogwarts Great Hall is arguably the best example of the new Wizarding World range. It is superb. Nicely detailed,

Over all, the set is pretty good. However there are a few things I would change if I were designing it. The rooms in the tower all seem to be a waste of space to me. Both rooms in the tower kind of just have random magic things in them. LEGO could have made use of this space better by putting iconic rooms from Hogwarts here, which would make it more appealing to both kids and fans. The mirror of erised is also positioned a bit oddly. When you put a minifuigre in front of it, their face is litterly right up against it, which looks really weird. With my set, I moved the mirror of erised to where the other rooms are and got rid of one of the floors, so it would fit.

First of all, I am VERY excited that Harry Potter is back and not to mention very much improved!!! The old sets were great and all (because it was about Harry Potter) but the elements and figures were a little bit of a letdown. I’m happy to say though (as a Master Builder) that after buying Hogwarts Great Hall, the Whomping Willow, the Quidditch Match, Aragog’s Lair, and Hogwarts Express, I can say that these sets are MUCH improved from there “ancestor sets” and I am enjoying every minute I get with these sets. The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!Second of all, THIS set is great for SOOOOOO many reasons. Because there are so many, I’ll hit up on the highlights:1.

I am a huge fan of both Lego and Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts and we buy and build a lot of Lego throughout the year in our home. This has been my favourite build out of the new sets and it was such a lovely build and looks fantastic when finished. My Children love the finished set and have played with it for hours and hours alongside the other sets we have and my Son's favourite character is Nearly Headless Nick.Age Suitability:-This set is aimed at children between 9 and 14 years old and it does have a few slightly more difficult areas of the build such as the apex above the doors to the hall as this collapsed on my Son a couple of times but it is mainly quite straightforward.Build Bags etc:-This is a large sized set and has 878 pieces with some small spares.

My daughter built this LEGO set and found it an enjoyable build that took several hours. The instructions were clear and all the pieces were there, with some spare in case you lost any. It comes with the now usual brick separator in case you do something wrong and need a hand taking it apart.You get 10 minifigures which is a great number to get with a set, including the lovable Hagrid and everyone’s favourite Dumbledore. You also get the Basilisk, Fawkes the phoenix, Hedwig and Scabbers. If you collect all the Harry Potter sets, you’re likely to end up with a few doubles on characters (in the same outfits), but surprising it’s not that many.The great hall is pretty impressive looking and includes a lot of architectural detail,

My 9-year-old and I built this set on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It is an excellent set, full of detail, down to spiral staircase and Scabbers the rat. This set combines elements from the first two books - the mirror of Erised and Professor Quirrell, but also the basilisk. The speed at which this set went together was faster than when we built the smaller forest set. The difference was that I was not helping this time. The instructions are clear for the most part, and there were only two occasions in which we had to invoke the Great Spirit of Lego that looms in the basement playing video games. (At least I think he is a spirit. He is pretty pale). He came up and talked us through where we were confused.

I've been lucky enough to get Lego for review from Amazon Vine this month.I've noted the various reviews below seem mixed for various sets. This is for The Great Hall.I've added photos to the review to show the detail included in this set.This comes with six bags and a 180 page instruction booklet. Thankfully Lego instructions are always very very clear and this set is no exception.For those who are buying for children it's worth knowing that Bag 1 as always with Lego gives three figures, Hagrid's boat, Fawkes the Phoenix and the Mirror of Erised. This is the good thing about Lego sets as Bag 1 always gives stuff which can be played with immediately.It's taken me as an adult three days to put

I missed all the past Harry Potter releases throughout the years, and i have to say I'm not upset about it because this new wave is refreshing.I'll start with a brief upset over this set (it's like the only real gripe i can come up with): Dumbledore's office is...missing. It's only a brief upset because after i added the whomping willow set to this one i did a few changes to snapes office and turned it into Dumbledore's office (even added Dumbledore's vision plate and Tom Riddle's diary from the collectible minifigures)Oh, well...one more minor complaint...the pier keeps falling off. Will have to anchor it on better when i get a chance.The rest of this set is great and visually satisfying; especially from the exterior.

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter. The look on my daughter's face said it all when she saw the constructed hall. She was in awe.I found this to be a very involved build that took me some time. 6 large bags, bases and 2 big manuals for this build. I really liked the mini-figs in this set a lot. Particularly, Hagrid (I just love that one), the red Dumbledore, Professor Mcgonagall, and Professor Quirrell stood out for me.The Basilisk, Fawkes, the Sorting Hat and Mirror of Erised were great features.I enjoyed the use of the diamond lattice window panes. They really stood out for me. It makes for a great decorative effect.

This is a really good playset and lots of options to play and place your included figures. With everything from a tiny dormitory to a moving staircase there is more than just the Dining Hall included in the set and it gives you a lot of play value once built. I have to admit the included basilisk is really fun and we have found ourselves randomly attacking each other with it for no other reason than it is funny.Okay, the build itself is the important bit for me and this was one of the more complicated builds I have taken on. By following the printed instructions it is actually much easier than I thought it would be. The images are clear and with the bricks being pre-sorted in to bags it makes it a joy to build.
