Product Description

Editorial Review

It takes only 128 LEGO pieces to construct this scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. When complete, it becomes the popular Quidditch field, including a 2-inch Harry on his broom, two extra characters (Draco Malfoy and Madam Hooch), three hoop goals, the boundary walls, the magical ball itself, and other accessories, for a thoroughly entertaining challenge. --Diane Beall

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better, but still worth the money., October 4, 2002

This review is from: LEGO Harry Potter: Quidditch Practice (4726) (Toy)

When I heard that Lego was making a quidditch-themed set, I was so excited. The wizard game plays such a big role in ALL of the Harry Potter books so I started envisioning something like Lego's football/soccer theme with complete team sets (I don't think I'm the one who is wishing for an Oliver Wood minifig) and after all my imaginings, this set was a bid of a let down. Included are Harry & Draco in their quidditch robes, Malfoy with his very cool black Nimbus 2001 and Harry with his brown Nimbus 2000. We also have Madame Hooch playing as a referee in black robes. Her hairpiece is sort of a grey flat top. Also included are three standing hoops (don't we need 6 for a real match?) and an observation stand with one single seat. One nice feature was a blue quidditch book (I wish it had been green like "Quidditch through the ages"). What would Quidditch be without a quaffle, a snitch, and bludgers? The quaffle piece is red ball, and the bludgers are black. I think Lego could have done better with the Golden Snitch. On the Harry/Draco remembrall set the remembrall piece was really impressive, clear with a golden band around it. For the snitch I had hoped for something along those lines but instead it is just a tiny plate piece painted gold. No wings, nothing. There is also a catapult of sorts for sending the balls into the air, but I find it to be a useless feature. I like this set (#4726, 128 pieces) but the idea could have been executed so much better. I suppose one could buy multiples of this set along with other pieces to make the perfect Quidditch pitch but it would have been nicer if this set had made a better attempt. I suppose that is why one should pay careful attention to the title of the set, "Quidditch Practice."

(note: as of writing this, Amazon has a weird picture of the set where Madame Hooch's hairpiece has been switched with Harry, it looks odd, I guess they didn't follow the set's simple directions!)

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe it's Lego Quidditch!!!, November 9, 2002

This review is from: LEGO Harry Potter: Quidditch Practice (4726) (Toy)

Hi! This set is awsome. It contents are Harry Potter, (duh!) Draco Mowfoy, Madam Hooch, 1 Quaffel (It's like the thing on a Toa's body only red) 2 Blugers (it IS the thing on a Toa's body!) 1 Snich ( A round gold peice) and 1 stand. I went to the make and take Quidditch tower event @ "Toys R Us" and I put that with it. I must say it's awsome.

later days!
P.S I forgot to put in that it comes with a chest to put the balls in!

3.0 out of 5 stars Switched hair correction and a review...., December 2, 2002

This review is from: LEGO Harry Potter: Quidditch Practice (4726) (Toy)

A reviewer in CT noted that the heads are switched in the photo Amazon/Toys R Us posts of the set. In fact, it is their hair. Harry's hair is switched with Mme Hooch's. Looks really funny, but isn't accurate, so if you were wondering who those characters were, or what Harry was doing in bug glasses, that's your answer. I have the set and agree with another reviewer that LEGO could have done a better job with the Quidditch set. It's like they started to design the full blown set you would expect and then lost interest. It is especially frustrating that the golden snitch has no wings. LEGO needs to come out with a complete Quidditch game set to rival LEGO soccer. Still, it's cool that they got their 2nd year brooms correct...
