Hedwig Reviews
Bricksfanz
“I might not be the biggest Potter fan but this set is amazing. It's a great visual display piece, which is heightened by the motion elements. The way the wings move is great and works very well. They could have simply created a brick-built version of Hedwig, sitting in a... More perch position, similar to the version offered at a Barnes & Noble event a couple of years ago. But I really like the open winged look, even more so with the movement it offers. I'm also impressed by how ornate the plinth looks, as a simple thing like using transparent elements adds to the appearance.”

“This Lego set also includes 2 minifigures; Harry Potter with his magic wand and a small Hedwig minifigure as well. There are only 4 stickers for this set; one is the Hedwig plate on the front part of the stand and the other 3 ones are for the letter with the red seal that... More Hedwig is holding.”
“75979 Hedwig is not just a great looking build of Harry Potter’s pet owl, it’s also a kinetic sculpture, something that AFOLs are big fans of, and have been creating for quite some time. The wings are double jointed, in the middle and by the body, which gives it that organic... More movement. It’s really beautiful.”
