Review on LEGO Hogwarts Requisite Dumbledore's Phoenix by Steven Guevara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great fun! good for stacking blocks

DISCLAIMER - I'm an adult Harry Potter fan who dressed up to go to the midnight editions of movies and books, so maybe I'm a bit biased in my review. However, this is by far my favorite of all the LEGO builds I've made (HP and non-HP). The details are amazing and it's a fairly simple build. The cupboard under the stairs is a beautiful hidden gem and the letters coming out of the fireplace are brilliant! The Ford Anglia has a chain that attaches to the grille on the window; Harry Potter fans know what's next (I put Ron on the roof of the car so he has somewhere to sit). There is a small gap just below the window. You insert the letters into the slot, turn the handle on the back (near the fireplace) and the letters fly out! It's also a good place to keep them for when you're not lighting the fireplace over and over again (and then a few more times just because it's fun to see how far you can get them to shoot)! It's just plain fun to build and has enough entertainment value to keep even an adult entertained. I think a 10 year old could do this with minimal help (there are only a few places he might need help); An 8 year old will probably need a little more help. However, this is a super build; very creative! A must have for any Harry Potter fan (even if you're not into LEGO).

Pros
  • Kids slide the plate then enter the secret door to practice secret Defense Against the Dark Arts with Harry Potter and friends; There they can create Patronuses, fire stud shooters and use cool features for creative fun.
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
