Reviewed on www.bestbuy.com·JynxieRose
This game is an absolute blast to play! I originally played this on the Nintendo DS, and remember some parts of it being infuriating. I am here to tell you that this is a completely different game! Fans of the books AND movies will appreciate this, even folks that think that they've outgrown the series. While playing this, I had such joy for much of it, and was happy to share that joy with others while streaming on Twitch! There are only a few things, thus far, that keep me from giving it a 5 (though MAN its so close!) The game crashed the first time I played it, but that has NOT happened again since, so i'm writing it off as a fluke. The other part that can be kinda infuriating is trying to trigger the spell that you want on the item that you want every time. SO MANY SPELLS/ACTIONS require you to use the same button, and although you think that you're casting "Wingardium Leviosa" on a certain object, another one responds OR something else happens entirely (or, you're trying to use the Triangle button to use one of the vehicles and you end up trading characters- which is ALSO what the triangle button does). For the most part, though, its not THAT hard to strugglebus through those difficulties. The gameplay is refreshingly easy most of the time, so its fun just to sit back, relax and explore Hogwarts again and again. The game has high replayability for me, as a completionist, once I finish the game and unlock all of the spells/enchantments/powers that each character has to offer, I can then replay the whole game and get all of the extras I couldn't get the first time. SO Fun, delightful and refreshing!

I will preface this review...
Reviewed on www.walmart.com·MarcNotMark
I will preface this review by saying, I don't mind Harry Potter, but am not a huge fan. I have collected and built LEGO for decades and am a AFOL. I do not seek out the Harry Potter series sets, with this set and the big castle as the exceptions perhaps. That said, this set is awesome. Fun build, excellent value, and the wing flapping mechanics being very well designed, make this a very attractive set, to me. It is also a very neat looking model, with a really great integrated display stand for this owl. The Harry Potter minfig and small scale Hedwig are a nice included addition in this set. Many small parts and some moving gears and mechanics, may not make this ideal for novice builders or smaller kids, but otherwise this is a rather easy build, with well laid out instructions, that go slow enough in steps for kids of the suggested age to follow along just fine. It does take a few hours of casual uninterrupted building, to put together. Slightly fragile finished model, but it looks and functions fantastically well.

Super cute!
Reviewed on www.walmart.com·FaithfulSnail084
How cute is this lego? I am so obsessed! I built it with my 7 year old son. Some of the "technic" aspect of it like the gears and the wing mechanism was a little too complicated for him and I helped him out, but otherwise such a fun build! The end result is so gorgeous. \n\nI paced myself and only built one package in the evening and so it took us 4 days to complete it, but it was so hard to stop! I was so curious on how it would turn out! The suspense was there till the end when we were building Hedwig's head. \n\nIt is now occupying pride of place next to my Harry Potter books and for the past hour, I have been going to the owl to move her wings and just generally stare at her. Highly recommend this to any budding "legoist" (is that even a word?) or even expert builders. Especially for the price point, it has so much going on.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·PreciseParrot065
This is a beautiful set to look at. And together with the advent calendar pieces it is a lovely winter addition to our big Hogwarts Castle. However, its only pros are the looks. This set was the least enjoyable to built so far. The lower half of the buildings were fine. But the top part lead to a lot of frustration in both houses. The roof in particular was difficult to connect and when pressure was applied the wrong way it would lead to half the house falling apart. Even after multiple adjustments, small gaps where bricks wouldn't connect fully remained. We took the set apart and rebuilt it to add lights (not LEGO branded) and encountered the same problems all over again. The only advantage here is that the wiring for the lights usually leads to small gaps but since they are already present in the set, the extra ones for the wiring evened things out. Whilst we will keep the set as a decoration piece it works for our purposes and we would recommend it if you want it for decor and have a high frustration tolerance. But in our eyes this is not suitable for a person who wishes to play with it or gets frustrated when things break and aren't perfect.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·FluffyPaper012
For Harry Potter fans this set perfectly brings a visit to Hogsmead village to life. Both the Three broomsticks pub and the Honeydukes Sweet shop have lots of colourful imaginative features . As well as the 3 smaller outdoor builds and the 6 character mini figures give plenty of play time . As an adult I bought this set to add to a themed Harry Potter set up and I also plan on using this set in my Xmas display this year

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Genell
My 9 and 11 year old LOVE this game. The lego games are always so well done so we were excited to see this. Really a great bundle/value. The games are old but weirdly the kids didn't notice the older graphics vs some of their newer games so I guess it doesn't matter. A lot of game play considering these lego levels are replayable as you unlock characters. It is also nice that it is 2 player.

I've been a fan of these games for years unfortunately this was delivered to my next door neighbor and the picture I received was of their sidewalk with no way of telling whose house it was in front of it was just the sidewalk and I don't know if the controls to it are different on the switch but I'm still in first stage of the game when I've actually completed the games before.

Reviewed on www.walmart.ca·Lego_LFC
Bought this for my gf for Xmas 2022, she loves Harry Potter, anything Christmassy, and is starting to get into Lego due to my interest in it. She hinted that she'd like this, so was happy to get her it.\n\nAs she starts to build, it becomes apparent the doorway to Honeydukes (6342692) is scratched, possibly from the manufacturing process, and a part for the chimney is missing (6222362).\n\nOnto the second building and there is several missing pieces; 5 window panes (6278710) are missing for the window frames, and 1 white piece that creates the snow (4547489). She was gutted.\n\nSo I go to order the missing pieces and I can't order them all, I am limited to only one window pane (6278710), because the set is listed as only having one. \n\nLooking at the building instructions, it shows several window panes (6278710) being used, but only lists one in the pieces list.\n\nThis is a great set, but the building and playing experience has been ruined.\n\nPlease can Lego sort the amount of pieces out so I can order the correct amount, thank you.

This game makes me nuts as half the time I have no idea what it wants. I zap everything with every wand %26 can't clear an area. It has a few glitches to work through. My daughter enjoys it although even she uses youtube as a tutor for playing.

Purchased this for my Harry-Pottery-obsessed 12 year old for Christmas as he's recently been teaching himself to play chess. He'll be excited about the gold Snape figure I'm sure! I think he'll enjoy putting it together and then actually being able to play chess with it (maybe it'll be the first lego set he puts together and actually keeps together!).

I personally don't care about the whole harry potter theme in general but this is a great display piece with certain modifications to remove the harry potter feel from it. I would love to see a new line with different birds and creatures done with this style of build. The movement of the wings is amazing and the model looks great from any angle.
