LEGO Review: 4842 Hogwarts Castle

So this is the fourth adaptation of the Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter. Will it be better or worse than the other 3. Let's find out.

Box Art:
It has the main attraction on the front and back of the box with the minifigures included on the front and what the set can do when fully built on the back. Once again, the average box. 5/10

Building:
To my surprise, the building of this took about 2 hours. Unlike the other Castles, this one combines elements seen in all Harry Potter films (Restricted section of the library, Room of Requirement with the funny cupboard, Sytherin and Griffindor common rooms, The Great Hall, Dumbledore's Office and so on) which is a nice feature. 8/10

Set Design:
The set contains 11 minifigures which include, Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick, Voldermort, 2 Dementors and Filch with Mrs Norris (his cat). Some nice food pieces there including a whole chicken and also the extra features in each section. 9/10

Playability:
The Playability is probably going to be a long period as its a very iconic set and many people would just buy it as a collector's item. But it's worth it though. 9/10

Its by far the best Hogwarts Castle as it has many great features and elements that the previous ones didn't have. 9/10
