We have to admit that we’re not hardcore fans of Harry Potter so we apologize that we won’t be able to identify most easter eggs here. Finally, though I didn't really touch on all of the accessories given this review is already so long, Grimmauld Place strikes me as the better parts pack, at least for interesting recoloured parts like the tan bats, sand blue barrel, new brooms, (not) Crookshanks and more. Being a Metamorphmagus, Tonks could change her appearance at will, and often changed her hair colour depending on her mood. Make a great impression when you meet me in person by praising EXO-FORCE as the greatest LEGO theme of all time.

gets a bit more detailing, adding the bigoted portrait of Walburga Black and its somewhat ineffective curtain, the troll-leg umbrella stand that Tonks often knocks over (waking said portrait), and a small desk with a bowl and lamp.When the trio learned from Mundungus that it was taken from him by Umbridge, they infiltrated the Ministry of Magic and retrieved the locket (this is covered in the Ministry of Magic set). There’s nothing to fairly compare the fluid, fantastic motion that this set offers, for how effectively it works, for how accurately it actually looks and, for how strongly it plays all the right notes to Harry Potter fans. With a small dedicated team of LEGO fans serving your needs, we're sure you wont find a better or more friendly service anywhere else online. Kreacher appears for the first time with a unique head mold, with a good representation of his hooked nose, and unique printing for his tattered clothing – simple, but there’s only so much you can do with a pillowcase. There are also chandeliers built into the upper set of technic links, a nice touch that both disguises the links a little and keeps the chandeliers themselves safe when the building is transforming.

I think once someone makes it larger and increases the overall size of each room there’s a lot more to work with (obviously).

Meanwhile, they gave Hermione and Harry new prints for their un-polyjuiced faces, yet printed an existing bemused one for Ron when he could've used a new one too (perhaps depicting painful agony after splinching). Hand-in-hand with the design, playability feels severely compromised by the design of the interior rooms. The exterior is minimalistic in design but by no means basic, capturing a decent amount of detail from the version of 12 Grimmauld Place we saw on screen, whilst the darker colouring for the central house reflects the level of care that has gone into recreating the details that matter most to the outside appearance.

The free LEGO Building Instructions app lets kids view, zoom and rotate the model as they build, providing an amazing sense of immersion and interaction during the construction process. My only real gripe is the lack of RAB initials in Regulus Black's room and I wish the skull area at the top had a railing or something to add a little more detail.Kingsley is better – with some more colours and the rather detailed printing extending down onto the legs as well. As a brief comment on the build process and experience, The Ministry has quite a tedious and repetitive build, as if it wasn't obvious from looking at the set itself. The architecture is both detailed and simple with arched windows, front-of-house railings, and brickwork that recreates many townhouses you would find in the streets of London.
