Editorial Review

This is an extraordinarily detailed LEGO set, with almost 600 pieces that form four related Harry Potter scenes. Though the finished product makes for a fun play world--with intricate castle chambers and a whole host of Potter characters--this is really more like a 3-D puzzle than a toy. For younger kids who don't have the patience to wade through the novella-length instruction booklet, the set may end up in a big, hopeless muddle. For those with the ambition and focus, or for parents who want some together time with their kids, the task is certainly doable thanks to the handy way pieces are divided into numbered bags and clearly keyed to the instruction book. --David Stoesz

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun but takes a while to build!, October 12, 2002

This review is from: Lego Harry Potter: Chamber Of Secrets (Toy)

I received this set yesterday from Amazon.com and I am still in the process of building it. It is an extremely large set (the box was more than a foot in length) and it comes with seven characters: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Gilderoy Lockhart, Ginny Weasley, Tom Riddle, Fawkes the Phoenix, and the Basilisk, a large, deadly snake. The set's instruction booklet is in several sections to help build all of the seperate sections that are put together to actually form the Chamber of Secrets itself. They are Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, with has a trapdoor and it's fairly easy to build; two Chamber walls; a gate-like structure that looks like a face with an open mouth that the Basilisk can crawl through; and three small towers that can be placed on the top of the set. There are several cool props, such as the Gryffindor sword, the Sorting Hat, flames, little black snakes that can be placed in several different areas, two tiny Lego daggers that can be placed in the roof of the Basilisk's mouth and look like its two fangs, and several others. It's a great set but it takes a while to build, and unless you are a devoted Lego builder, the set could become a huge, hopeless mess. Overall this is one of the best Lego sets I've ever received, and it is certainly worth the money. Buy it and love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Place in the Magical World of Harry Potter, July 8, 2003

A Kid's Review

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Lego Harry Potter: Chamber Of Secrets (Toy)

The Chamber of Secrets is possibly the most interesting of all the Harry Potter sets. This set is huge with about 700 or so pieces. When my sister and I pulled the package out from under the Christmas tree for me to assemble (I build all of our family's Harr Potter LEGO sets, although the instructions are so clear, my six-year old sister could probably put it together, too) I expected the pieces to be all in a jumble, after all, it was a big set! Instead, I found each part of the set neatly packaged and easy to build.

The set didn't take long to make, and we had plenty of fun acting out the scenes, but mostly creating our own. Assembly is easy. It may take a while, but the finished piece is worth it. There is Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, an opening for the basilisk to come through, three towers, and the Chamber itself. This set comes with Ginny, (an important character in this book, and my favorite) Tom Riddle, (a.k.a. Voldemort at 16) Porfessor Lockhart, Ron, Fawkes, and, of course, Harry Potter.

This LEGO set comes with everything need for props (sword, diary, etc.) and will keep you occupied for hours. (at least it did for me)
