Amazon.com Review

Magic abounds in this tall, deluxe pop-up carousel that brings Hogwarts School to life! Open the book and then tie the covers together with the purple ribbons for an impressive permanent carousel in your child's room... or fold it back up for easy reshelving. Children will adore identifying rooms and objects they remember from the beloved Harry Potter series, with plenty of flaps to lift and tabs to slide to unveil the ghosts and things that go bump in the night. You can even see where Harry Potter sleeps, and lift the lid of the trunk at the end of his bed! The carousel also features a sheet of punch-out cardboard characters from Severus Snape to Hagrid, so imaginative youngsters can move them around the school. Collectors and Harry Potter fans, rejoice! (Ages 4 and older)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hogwarts "dollhouse", January 1, 2002

By

This review is from: Harry Potter Hogwarts School: A Magical 3-D Carousel Pop-Up (Hardcover)

Although styled as a book, there are no pages, no words. The "carousel" is a dollhouse in book format. Rooms include the Gryffindor common room with puffy chairs; Harry & Ron's "dormitory" room; a classroom (looks like Snape's potion room in a dungeon"; the Sorcerer Stone's hideaway--with devil's snare, winged keys and a glimpse of the giant chessboard; the library with restricted section; and of course the main hall of Hogwarts.

My daughter and her cousin have already acted out numerous scenes (mostly of their own creation) using this as their stage. It is wonderful because it's detailed, inventive, and just like any stage set--leaves lots of room for imagination, acting and role-playing.

I recommend this for anyone with children interested in the Harry Potter stories, especially those with a flair for the dramatic. It's also nice just as a look-at decoration for the collector or fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Fun!, December 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Harry Potter Hogwarts School: A Magical 3-D Carousel Pop-Up (Hardcover)

This is as cool a pop-up as you'll find, with fun Hogwarts surprises around every turn! You really will be amazed at the detail work. The cut-out figures of all the main characters from "Sorcerer's Stone" make for many fun play-times. My daughter got this and one of the very cool HP Lego sets, and plays with this more! Perfect for the grade-school HP fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Alternative, April 20, 2003

This review is from: Harry Potter Hogwarts School: A Magical 3-D Carousel Pop-Up (Hardcover)

This book is just so neat! It can be used as a toy or decoration! The book opens to form a circle with a lot of the Hogwarts rooms featured in GREAT DETAIL. It's an interesting alternative to reading all about Harry Potter and Hogwarts School, you can actually see another visual representation of what J.K. Rowling invented. It would make a great/unique present for the Harry Potter fan in your life.
