Hogwarts Castle Reviews
From Bricks To Bothans
“This will undoubtedly be a rewarding set for all Harry Potter fans. If you're just a casual follower, make this the one HP set you add to your collection. On top of a sweet-looking castle, you'll also end up with great MOC fodder for architecture and desert landscapes.”
The Brick Fan
“I would recommend this set because as a Harry Potter fan, I am happy to own something that plays a major part in the films. As LEGO starts to phase out the 2010 LEGO sets, it'll be harder to find in stores and prices will certainly skyrocket in the future.”
Eurobricks
“Is it a perfect representation of Hogwarts Castle? Heavens no, but you can't honestly expect that. Hogwarts is a huge, complex place, so even a UCS Hogwarts would still be way underscaled. But for a playset, it's pretty good. Better than any of the previous three castles in... More my opinion.”
Ninja Brick
“The LEGO 4842 set isn't perfect, but it's certainly an improvement on previous versions. Harry Potter fans will get a very nice-looking set, with a great silhouette, that is fun and playable. While it does not have all common rooms and tables, it has enough to enable a lot... More of adventures.”
