Box

I do like to try out some Harry Potter set since they are not widely available in my country back then and now they are available with still not really a reasonable price except for this set. The front of the box shows the name of the set together with the serial number other than the box art itself. The side of the box shows the actual minifig scale while the back shows the function of the set.

Content

Just like the Star Wars battle pack, it comes with two packet of bricks and an instruction booklet just that it has an extra base plate that are not packed inside the packaging.

To download the instruction for this set, please click HERE.

Also, the head of Dobby was pack separately in a small plastic bag.

Accessories

There is two wand available, a book, a broom and a 1x2 printed tile. I think is a good amount of accessories included.

Insect

We do get a spider here and is the only insect we get from this set.

Minifigs

From left: Dobby, Harry Potter, and Lucius Malfoy. The two before got their torso printed on both side front and back as for the latter one it is only printed at the front since the cape will block it somehow.

I didn't put on the cape for Lucius Malfoy since he has a long hair, I'm afraid it will be problematic like Princess Tamina from Prince if Persia. Anyway, Harry Potter and Lucius Malfoy got both side of their head printed.

Gateway

Seriously, I have no idea what is this thing about, so I just call it a gateway since it looks like one. It comes with a function that send Lucius Malfoy flying.

Below is how the long pin behind works. Just push it as hard as possible and it will send him flying (real far I mean).

Extra pieces

Only two pieces were left after the things is completed.

Completed model

Here's the overall model. If you are not a Harry Potter fans but want to get a Harry Potter, well, buy this set.

Playability: 6/10 At least you can send Lucius Malfoy flying.
Design: 6/10 Don't really like the design with a long technic pin sticking out from behind.
Price:7/10 Average pricing over here.
Overall: 6/10 A great set to attain some accessories and minifigs.
