Product Description

Harry Potter takes the magic of Building Cards to a whole new realm.

Equal parts toy and construction set, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the fourth and most fantastic Building Cards set yet.

Because Hogwarts castle looms so large in the imagination of fans all over the world, we made the new Building Cards set bigger than its predecessors – and packaged it with more cards. Sturdy slot-to-slot construction means there is no need for glue, nails and the cards can be taken apart and re-assembled over and over again. (A good thing, since staircases at Hogwarts have a habit of moving around.)

Of course, no Hogwarts experience would be complete without its most famous student, so we included a specially molded Harry Potter figure, ready to explore the one-of-a-kind school you create. The included book is full of building ideas, assembly hints, step-by-step illustrations and directions so simple, even a Muggle could follow them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Building, August 20, 2007

By	NYC Mom "NYC Mom" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews

I purchased this item for my 11 year old daughter, who is a big Harry Potter fan and she is really enjoying it. She loves building the castle (although we are not yet finished) Things to note about the toy, there are a LOT of really tiny pieces so you need a good size space to work on, the instructions require you to flip back and forth between pages which is cumbersome and sometimes they are not easy for an 11 year old to follow without help. Younger kids may need help building it depending on how good they are with instructions, but it will defintely keep an 11-13 yr old busy for a while, the castles can take hours to build depending on how fast you work and how complicated you want it. It also makes a great family time activity as everybody can build parts of it at the same time. Kids who love building will like this toy, even if they aren't Harry Potter fans. Overall, I recommend the toy as a good value and lots of fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pieces missing, September 11, 2007

By	K. Mittu - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The building cards are nice and strong. However, when my daughter tried to build the simplest castle (from the direction book), we realized that she was missing pieces. We called the manufacturer and they were very helpful and sent us a replacement set. Other than that, we've been very happy with the set.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and Complementing, April 11, 2009

By	F. Fass (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My children loved building this set and they used it to visualize their reading experience. It was worth the money spent on it. The only thing that didn't go over too well is that not all pieces are easy to put together; little adjustments must be made to accommodate the whole structure.
