I bought this set for me and my Fiancée we both love Harry Potter and the Wizarding world in general, the best parts of this set are the amount of beautiful detail on the facade, but that’s not the highlight of this set. The interior is absolutely gorgeous and detailed to the highest degree. They also give about 12 figures so those that say that there’s not enough are crazy.I do have a couple of complaints, namely about the fact that there are stickers instead of printed blocks, I didn’t mind the stickers too much, but it would have been nice to see blocks unique to the set.I also had a bit on an issue with the brightness of the colors of the set, they are accurate, but I would have preferred to see a slightly darker blocks.Also, a lot of the little extra ... MoreI bought this set for me and my Fiancée we both love Harry Potter and the Wizarding world in general, the best parts of this set are the amount of beautiful detail on the facade, but that’s not the highlight of this set.

As a unit it does feel very fragile, so be careful if you aren’t just getting it to display it.Lastly is a complaint that is mostly specific to me and/or other colorblind people. Depending on the colorblindness you have you will NEED someone else to help build this.Nonetheless none of these complaints take away remotely from the beauty and expertise that went into this set. If you’re a huge fan of the Wizarding World like me it is definitely worth the money.

Diagon Alley is a great set with a few missed opportunities. The good things about Diagon Alley are:1. A great building experience it has a lot of wonderful details that are accurate to the movie and it has some great building techniques used to make it. It isn't a extremely hard set to build but it has it's moments like with the rooftop chairs (which in response to other peoples reviews are hard to figure out but I did and it isn't impossible to do so while following the instructions and without adding pieces the instructions don't say to.) Also the moving top hat is a decent challenge as well.2. A decent minifigure selection as sets go I would say this one is above average minifigure wise. Glideroy lockhart is great to have along with florian fortescue. ... MoreDiagon Alley is a great set with a few missed opportunities. The good things about Diagon Alley are:1.

Also the moving top hat is a decent challenge as well.2. A decent minifigure selection as sets go I would say this one is above average minifigure wise. Glideroy lockhart is great to have along with florian fortescue. Lucius's face is kind of a disappointment but other than that he is fine. The photographer is nothing amazing but I appreciate the new print and new hat mold. The Weasley twin's suits are great and I am glad to have them. Molly and Ginny are nice additions but nothing amazing. The golden trio have nice new prints for their shirts and Harry's face print with smoke all over his face is great. Ollivander is reused from the 2018 gwp but as I was unable to pick it up and don't want to spend $150 on it online he is good to have. Hagrid is reused from a few other sets but that's not to say he isn't screen accurate. Draco is good and it is nice to have the new robes for Slytherin. Also the mannequins for QQS are nice to have I am glad we finally got raven claw and Hufflepuff quidditch robes though I wish they had the capes that the Slytherins and Gryffindor's have in the quidditch match set.3. A great display piece it looks amazing on the shelf I have it even without LEDs.4. Very screen accurate looks just like it did in the movies. 5. The amazing cobbled street it looks so nice and matches the alley perfectly.6. A wonderful surprise inside (not spoiling it) but box 21 is a great addition.Cons:1. Missed opportunities for new Minifigures. I really wish each shop came with a shopkeeper but 4/7 isn't that bad (or technically 5/7 if you count gilderoy for flourish and blotts) but I wish it was 7/7 as it is I use my unwanted fantastic beast figures from cmf 1 as shopkeepers which is good enough. Also I kind of wish it included Rita Skeeter for the daily prophet shop.2. Missed opportunities for other shops. I really wish it had the leaky cauldron I can see why it isn't happening and is a design nightmare but it feels incomplete without it and it is my favorite location in the alley. Gringotts! The set delivers for what it costs and I am glad it didn't jump $300 in price include Grinngotts but I miss it. At least their is a chance Lego might make a Grinngotts some time in the future. those two shops are the ones I miss the most. I do hope though that are more shops in the future the only one I wouldn't care about is borgin and burkes so at least that wasn't included in place of a different shop. It would also be nice to get the magical pet shop (I can't remember it's name) madam Malkins, and the apothecary.3. Final complaint to many stickers! it looks great now but their must have been over 100 stickers please Lego in the future have some more printed elements it was painful getting all those stickers on WWW.Overall it is a great set I would recommend it.

When I first saw the leaked pictures of this set online, I’m not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed, but that was only because I didn’t actually every pay attention to how Diagon Alley actually looks in the movies. I was so used to seeing my original Diagon Alley set from 2011 on my shelf that this one looked off until I realized the original is incredible inaccurate while this one is the most accurate Diagon alley set we’ve ever gotten. Even on the day of release I was still questioning whether or not to buy this set, but I must say, this has become my favorite LEGO set of all time. The attention detail in it is so Incredible and you can tell that there was a lot of love and care put into making this set as great as it can be. The interiors in my opinion are big ... MoreWhen I first saw the leaked pictures of this set online, I’m not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed, but that was only because I didn’t actually every pay attention to how Diagon Alley actually looks in the movies.

The attention detail in it is so Incredible and you can tell that there was a lot of love and care put into making this set as great as it can be. The interiors in my opinion are big enough considering how detailed they are I think they have enough space to display figures and to have the large amount of detail that are put in them. They are definitely bigger than the original 2011 set. The only downsides that I would say exist in this set are the amount of stickers and the mini figure selection. But at the same time I don’t think those two things are enough to rate this gorgeous set any lower than 5 stars. This is definitely the best Harry Potter set LEGO has made and definitely one of the top 5 best LEGO sets they’ve made out of every theme.
