LEGO Hogwarts™ Castle: Potions Class 76431

These little foldable play sets are a kind of upgrade to the previous Harry Potter moments sets (the foldable book sets) I love them all for their own uniqueness but it’s nice to see that these ones can be connected and incorporated into the new Hogwarts castle modular sections and even when folded everything can still be kept in place to look around. This one is based on those early scenes of Snapes potion classes and the detail is great and I love all of the little potions and bottles and the sticker details are reasonably accurate too. This set has three minifigures, we’ve seen Seamus a few times like this with his signature blown up face, we have Hermione and a new one.. Pansy Parkinson from Slytherin house. This early version of Pansy can actually be seen a lot in the first few films aside Draco and his crew -she is not a major character but it’s nice to include this minifigure due to the fact that she was always there. I do love all the Harry Potter sets and I think they keep getting better all the time and I’m so glad they keep making fresh ideas out of these movies and even after 20 or so years from the early first film like this set. I even love the way the packaging is kept all the same and familiar too. I hope they continue to keep up the fresh ideas without repeating too much but so far I’m really happy. The only little issues I found in his set (not that this really matter) is underneath there is a space left for a 1x1 grey square (see my photos no.3&4) but there is a spare luckily so you can just pop that in if it bothers you. Also I think the potions ingredients jars need lids though these can be bought for 10p each from Pick a Brick online (piece number 6163901) But considering there are brick budgets for sets I think they made the best out of the piece count as possible and is definitely worth the money. I love this as a stand alone set to look around and also I’m looking forward to seeing more of these and seeing how they all connect. Thank you.
