4.0 out of 5 stars The sorting hat, November 30, 2001

This set is small but I am glad Lego made it. This is the smallest set in the Harry Potter collection but without you would be missing a few things. This set includes Hedwig,sorting hat,tourches x2,goblets x2, Harry and a scroll. Although the whole collection includes a million Harrys, this Harry is in Hogwarts uniform instead of Griffindor uniform. You also know that there are a million Griffindor uniforms so it s nice to have a change. The sorting hat goes right on Harry as he sits/stands on a rotating stool. If you look at the picture, you see the little disk with all the 4 houses' emblems that you can spin, which ever the pointer points to is your house. I can't garentee Harry will always land on Griffindor because it does land on Slytherin once in a while but you can spin it until it does. Overall its fun so get them while Amazon has them ;)

Once you put this together, what exactly do you do with it? My kids liked it, but forgot about it 2 days later.

But you can at least use the pieces for something else. However, as Legos go, it is inexpensive[*],and makes a decent stocking stuffer.

[* Apparently the price of this item went way up since I first wrote this. My review applies to a product that had cost about $5.]

Sorting Hat is a great little set. It's outfitted with Harry, the hat, and some sort of wheel that you turn to decide where Harry's gonna go. Sometimes I think the thing's rigged because it always seems to land on Gryffindor. In the Times when I don't get the big G, I like to help it land on Slytherin. When I'm not in a Harry Potter mood, I have Harry play Wheel of Fortune with it and pretend each house is worth a different sum of money.
All-in-all, sorting hat is a nice little set with not a lot to do, but still fun.
