The Sorting Hat Reviews
“The eyebrows, the tip of the hat and the mouth are movable. When you press the tip of the hat, the mouth opens, the eyebrows move and the sound stone is activated. You can also play sounds by placing the hat on your head. LEGO Harry Potter 76429 The Sorting Hat features... More various printed bricks, including the shields of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin, while the patches are realized with stickers.”
Jays Brick Blog
“Design-wise, this 561-piece set does look like a pretty good rendition of the Sorting Hat, the creepy magical hat that dooms new Hogwarts students into a predestined House, and confines them to specific personality traits like Smart, Courageous, Villainous or Average... More (Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff for you non Potterheads).”
