I feel like Gringotts would've been better as a set in this scale. A higher price, some more pieces count but instead of two buildings, it should've been one. It would be a great and affordable playset for kids.

Imo a big advantage of the new set is that both front walls are complete, whereas in the 2020 version it's cut off on one side because of the 16x32 baseplate.

Great review as always, love these minifigs!

Since I already have both Diagon Alley sets I’m passing on this, but if they release a store that wasn’t in either I’d consider getting that. I did combine both sets in one display by adding a lower floor to Gringotts and attaching Borgin and Burkes off the Knockturn Alley entryway.

It's a great set to get if you can't afford the massive Diagon Alley. Hopefully it does go on sale soon to be a tad more affordable :)

[Bluhaj]

I really love the pigmypuffs… (those are the printed orbs…)

[grimmsalem]

I think when I get the set ill combine it with the modular one. Might just add a back and have it open up.

[joce]

Thanks for doing the side by side comparison... its sometimes hard to judge building size from online images. Great review!

[robertbrookes]

I think I prefer this quite a bit to the big DA set.
The overload of products that are straight from the books & films is what sells it for me.

They even had the punching telescope Hermione gets attacked by in the book.

It's far more interesting to me than sets of stairs.

Honestly I was little surprised by the size difference to the original Diagon Alley shop. Maybe there are more details regarding the equipment of the shop, but in general the build it's simpler. At the same time price per piece is higher and I am wondering how much we will need to pay for whole Diagon Alley in the new wave. I skipped the first Diagon Alley (due to price), but now wondering if starting collecting this - propably series - I will not end up spending more for less quality...

[ryanrem]

i really hope they make an ollivanders in this scale, plus maybe a gringotts!

[emulienka]

If Gringotts doesn't attach to the D2C as well, I'm gonna be pissed!

[philmorton]

Well if I have both, would really hope rebrickable would find a way for me to combine them, otherwise it's a waste.

[QuinofArts]

Great review, thank you! I wasn’t going to get it but now I will and use it for parts to clutter up my big DA

[JamesLawner]

Personally, I think the old Wizard Wheezes set looks better, because it feels more complete. It’s kinda sad to see that Lego nowadays is cutting corners on sets in order to save money, but still charge more for so little.

[gtortillaz]

The size comparison is crazy. The new one is so tiny

[rPanda]

8:09 ohh those are that fluffy animal Ginny gets in their shop. Pygmy puffs

[afol]

This is a perfect extension to the 2011 Diagon Alley Set!

[kaywrldd]

I feel that these new ones are way better even tho I don’t have the big DA set. But honestly if you really sit and think these have more like personality and details. Which I myself, prefer details over size tbf.

[alantorrance]

I dont think this is intended for folk that alrwady have the colossal diagon alley. This is mlre for folk who could never afford it but want to start a diagon alley and build it in stages over the next few years
