4.0 out of 5 stars
Noble Gryffindor, November 13, 2001
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
I've been saving up for the Harry Potter Lego's and when I had a lot of them I needed a place for Harry, Hermione, and Ron to relax and do homework. What better place to do that than in the House of Gryffindor! this set includes the Gryffindor common room, the dormitories, and a backround for both rooms! When a Gryffindor needs to enter the tower they must first give the password to the portrait of the Fat Lady. Once inside they find a nice comfortable chair and a table complete with a lamp to work at. When their work is done the Gryffindors head up to the dormitories for bed. first they store their belongings in the little cupboard and then climb into the four-poster bed complete with velvet curtains just like J.K. Rowling describes in the books! It's a nice little place for your Harry Potter minifigures to settle down after a hard day of exams. Besides Harry, Ron, and Hermione need a place where they can talk about the Sorcerer's Stone without Snape listening in on their conversation. This set also includes Ron, his pet rat Scabbers, some books, a wand, and a little suitcase for Ron's belongings. So if your Harry Potter characters are tired after a hard day of levitating feathers and turning turtles into kettles I highly recommend the House of Gryffindor.

A good idea executed poorly, December 22, 2001
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
With all the sets I have there are multiple rons. Which of course is great because they can all double as Ron's brothers. This is one of three sets (the others being Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Classroom) that uses bright neon orange and pink pieces. I really wish they had two beds instead of one to play out Harry and Ron's rooms. So I bought two of the same set. This set also comes with Scabbers, a bit of luggage, some books and a large chair. The best feature really is the bed with its cloth canopy and small yellow blanket. I wish it could have been different but all in all its a good set -- durable and educational as all legos are.

House of Gryffindor!, July 5, 2002
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
When I saw this item, I bought both it and the Diagon Alley set right away. It's just what I needed. When Ron, Hermione, and Harry want to plan something, do homework, or play wizard chess, they head straight to the common room. Then, after completing their homework, they go to bed. This set is a nice touch, especially if you're getting the whole collection. I love how it comes with books, the bedside cabinet, Scabbers, an owl, the fat lady portrait, the bed with scarlet curtains, etc. I could go on! The colors are not the best, but when you consider that the Gryffindor colors are scarlet and gold, I see where they're coming from. Even if you're not a huge Harry Potter fan, this set can add a lot to any legos you have. The only real downside of this set is that there's only one bed and only one chair in the common room. Overall, I think that this is a great set for all ages.
