Hogwarts Express Collectors' Edition Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“The build is still positively engaging, and what the train really has going for it is its sheer size: it’s bound to elicit a ‘wow’ from anyone who walks by, even if they’ve seen images beforehand, because it’s difficult to grasp the real enormity of 76405 Hogwarts Express... More Collectors’ Edition until you see it in person. That makes it tempting for train fans too, even if it can’t join a wider loco layout (and the reasons for that validate it: where else will you find a train scaled so perfectly to minifigures?).”
“The set is enormous and comes with many cool details, including more Minifigures, making it much more awesome than the first. The set also contains cool details that will keep kids engaged for hours. If you have little kids who are fans of Lego and Harry Potter, this could... More be a very good gift for them this year. The set is also fit for adults, thanks to the technics required to put this set together. The building experience is more of a bittersweet situation.”

This is a stunning model, and one whose chief purpose is being a... More display centerpiece, the crown jewel of any LEGO Harry Potter collection, and for fans that have been wanting an ultra-detailed and realistic Hogwarts Express, this set delivers in spades.”
