I just got this lego set. I saw it on Lego.com along with all of the other Chamber of Secrets Lego sets. This one is a good one. It provides the Harry Potter fanatic and Lego fanatic with our first look at Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia's house Lego style. The set come with the house, the flying car, Ron, Harry, and Uncle Vernon. Plus, we get to see Harry and Ron in their Muggle clothes again. I'm disapointed though, because the set doesn't come with Fred and George Weasley, who were responsible for saving Harry from the Dursleys. But if you've got a few more Lego sets you can always take two other Rons and pretend that they are George and Fred. This set is definitely worth your money. If you are debating on whether to get this set or Hagrid's Hut for the same price, get this one. If you have a Dobby mini-fig, you can also act out the part where Harry meets Dobby among other scenes. Definitely get this one!

This is definitely a wonderful addition to any Harry Potter fanatic's LEGO collection. Just as all LEGO sets, there is a great attention paid to detail, with the letters, the flying car and, of course, the characters. Uncle Vernon looks very similar to his movie counterpart and it is nice to have Harry and Ron in different outfits for a change. His bed under the stairs opens up to reveal a storage compartment, and the upstairs window comes off (with the help of the flying car) to help Harry escape. Both car doors open with room for 2 LEGO characters to fit in comfortably. This set is definitely worth every penny.

My son must of asked for this toy about 100+ times. I declined as he was only 3 and I worried it would be way too advanced and difficult for him.

I finally broke down (don't we all?) and got it. I fully expected his older sister to take it over almost immediately but NOT SO! This toy has provided hours (in the hundreds!) of fun for my 3 year old. The car is great. He carries it everywhere. It is VERY sturdy (even for Lego) and he has not lost any of the pieces. He loves putting Ron and Harry in and taking them out. His all time favorite thing is using the car to "pull" Harry's window out. In an average day he probably does it 20-50 times and so far has not gotten bored at all. My son has special needs and this toy has contributed greatly to helping his fine motor control.

We do (my daughter and I) have to put it together for him but once its together he's ready to go. He's even starting to be able to fix things himself on it which is a great feat for him! It doesn't fall apart or come apart when moved and it is very durable. Hey, if it can take months with a 3 year old its *almost* indestructible!

I give this 5 stars. I'd give it more if I could. My best toy purchase for 2003 hands down.

My 9 and seven year olds received several of the Harry Potter Lego sets and this was the easiest to assemble. They really should have included a Dudley figure and perhaps Fred and George to extend the fun factor. Once the structures are built,the figures help the action and imagination.

I'll start with the bad :- the car; most lego cars fit one person and i'm pleased to see this one fits two - it also has amazing detail and can even pull the window out to free Harry. But it's a bit to big. Second, the characters. No Dudley! Uncle Vernon is very scary (good good) but theres no sign of Aunt Petunia or Dudley. I would have adored to see them but its made up by the rest of the building. A cupboard under the stairs, Hedwig fluttering around, and school books. I was amazed that the letters could fly into the room before I got it but it's really rather simple, but effective. Despite the obvious lack of educational value, I still think this is a great toy and for the value - beautiful!

I think this is a awsome set. It is the first set with any of the durslys and it's nice to see Harry and Ron in muggle cloths. It comes with Harry, [duhh] Ron, Hedwig and uncle Vernen. The chimmny turns and drops letters into Harry's room. I think they could of done better on the cubbered [a bed under the stairs that opens] I think this is a defedent must if you collect Harry Potter or car lego sets.

Just like the quidditch lego, Harry's hair has been switched in the picture... you'll notice Uncle Vernon sporting a mop of black hair, while Harry seems to have died and tamed his...

I got this set for christmas and it is awesome! it comes with a neat car and the dursleys house but it should come with dudley and aunt petunia and fred and george. but for fred and george just use more rons! this is overall a really cool must have set!

I think the educational value of this toy is very poor, but it has quite a phenominal look and value. My personal opinion is it's a great present for a child of all ages, my overall scale of this toy is **** stars.
