This set feels like it came out in 2008 but with updated pieces. They didn't overcomplicate it, this is so damn playable.

Dude deserves way more likes. This guy is my favorite youtuber

As good as this set is, it's disappointing that we're getting a $200 great hall set, and yet the actual hall interior is very small and compromised.

[robertbrookes]

Already excited to see what comes next in this wave.
They'll obviously have to have a tower build attached to the Great Hall so here's what I think could be on it:
Second floor: Dumbledore's Office, or Gryffindor Boy's Dormitory.
First floor: Gryffindor Common Room or just the entrance way to it with the Fat Lady (maybe it's double sided with Sir Cadogan on the other)
Ground Floor: The main staircase (rotating feature, & paintings) or maybe the bathroom entrance to the chamber of secrets (I say since that area is a very round set piece, unlike the boxy set we had before)
Underground: Chamber of secrets, or just maybe a part of the Hogwarts kitchens with a few elves. If they can do the Hufflepuff common room that isn't even shown in the books, they can do the kitchens which are.

There's so much to draw from: boggart builds, wardrobe, dragon skeleton, skulls of dark creatures.

I totally plan on modding the Hufflepuff Common Room. I'm a Hufflepuff, and would love to expand it into a display piece.

Top notch, I've been looking forward to your review of this one and you did not disappoint

[kacperk]

14:38 it could've been a Slytherin common room, just for the joke that it is in the dungeons while a troll was goofing around in the dungeons 😅

Ash. You have become the number one LEGO YouTuber. Keep up the amazing work buddy!

[warrennewman]

This set looks fantastic great detail nice new box design 👍

[Klohe]

I think the broom is meant to represent the flying keys room in the Sorceres/Philosopher's stone.

[Fishwheezy]

My thoughts are that they’ll do a 2nd half of the great hall, but have the tower with it and below will be similar to this where it will have the extra space for the dark arts classroom so you don’t have to pick and choose.

[AndreMagalhaesMusic]

I think this is a great set also for people who like to add their own additions. I know for me I want to add lanterns around the walkway of the Great Hall, and I can see people making their own Hogwarts Kitchens to slide under the Great Hall!

This is great lego is doing this new line of hogwarts sets. But who else is tapped out after collecting the last 6 years worth of hogwarts castles if i get these now what do i do with the last two castle systems honeslty. I dont know i think lego should of put the theme up on the shelve for a few years before doing something like this but thats my opinon, great review ash.

[TSLstudio]

7:37 really missing some nice Harry Potter details, like specific HP food, statue, fireplace, teachers chairs, house point hourglasses etc.
Its feels a bit too generic and less dept, (side walls should be 2 stuts deeper).
Think you could easily fix this though, nice moc project for people.

[MarnShj]

That witch hat and hair piece… there’s hope for Gandalaria from Ninjago Dragons Rising!

[duvalfamily]

A little late to the party, but Thank You for this review! Very thorough and informative. (And kinda hate to say it, but you just saved me $200 and a lot of buyer's remorse.)
Also checked out some of your other vids, and you have a new subscriber now! Thank you!

The first canonical appearance of the hufflepuff common room was drawings in an article on pottermore

[AdiR]

Awesome! Will we see the ninjago sets soon?

[MCMarvel]

15:16 The paper says “asphodel + wormwood = ???, ” which is a reference to one of the questions Professor Snape asks Harry in the first potions class.

Fun fact about that quote, if you translate the asphodel and wormwood using the Victorian Flower Calendar (I think that’s what you use), it roughly means “I bitterly regret your mother’s death” (because asphodel is a lily).

[farseer]

Good review but I miss old 4709, it's as if it was more soul and magic in it.
