“I think this set is cute, I love Dobby and I love that TLG made him, although he probably can't carry on into any other themes, He can be carried on into all the other HP sets. Lucius can be adapted into many other themes and he is YELLOW. Overall I am very happy with this... More set. Cheap, Rare and Cute.”

“Set #4731 Dobby's Release: This set is a great value for your money. It was the original version of the new Freeing Dobby set from this past year and it is the only set to feature the Dobby Mini-Figure. (Well it was until the re-make in 2010.) Overall I'd have to say this is... More a great set to own, a source of some great pieces to add to Hogwarts Castle and some Mini-Figures that aren't that easy to come by in the larger sets.”
