This set may seem small, but the Troll isn’t! The coolest thing about the set is the figure of the troll. It is blue with a very ugly-mean detailed face, and his brown clothes. This set also includes a Harry Potter figure like all the other sets in the Lego line. The set itself is the girls bathroom. However it does not have one toilet, only a sink, that kind of looks like a toilet. And another interesting aspect is the Jack-o-lantern pumpkin on top of this set. It doesn’t make sense in the bathroom, but the day on which the troll attacked, was Halloween! It is a very nice set. The sink can fall, and some brown lego blocks can fall from the top to clobber the troll. One negative thing about the troll figure: only one arm moves(the one that holds its club) Not even the legs move! Still for the price, you can’t beat that! It is a great set.

If you want to recreate the bathroom scene, this is the playset for you. Well, almost. It doesn’t include Ron or Hermione, which I think is a dumb choice. The set is really cool, and my favorite thing is the mountain troll. I love how you can make bricks fall on his head. The sink looks more like a toilet, which doesn’t take away from the set at all. Buy this. You’ll love it!

- * – * – * – * – I recently bought this for my nephew’s 6th birthday. He was real enthusiastic, and completed it by that night. (Legos are his thing). The instructions were clear, he only needed a minimum of adult assistance, mostly with finding the specialized small pieces to match the instruction pictures. —-****—- He said I should tell you all “It’s a really cool set if you like Harry Potter”. As always with Legos, the great thing is that he’ll get lots of play time with it as he’ll be mixing and matching it with all his other sets to create unique designs. —-Definitely worth the relatively low price, and Ben got a great thrill out of the Troll monster’s “underpants” (What will they think of next?)- * -* – * – *

I bought this set about a week ago mainly for the troll that comes with it. It is a fun set, although the stones that fall are a bit corny. Another flaw with this set is that there is no Ron or Hermione. I mean, Hermione was the reason that Ron & Harry went to that bathroom in the first place because tha troll was heading there. And almost every set in the Lego HP series has Harry, so why no Ron or Hermione?But the troll has multiple uses. I mean that you can use him in the castle theme as well as the HP theme. Or if you are a Lord of the Rings and Lego fanatic like myself you could use him as a cave troll from the Moria scenes. Or you could use his head for an orc. But overall,apart from the troll, there is nothing special about this set except the cool pumpkin lantern that is on the ceiling. Very good.

Let me get straight to the point of a glaring omissiong from this set that seems to be the result of marketing tactics more than anything. The ENTIRE point of the Mountain Troll scene was Harry and Ron going to the rescue of Hermionie . . . and, yet, neither she, nor Ron, are in this set! It’s just Harry! Where is Ron? Over in the Castle, or the Snape’s Classroom sets? And Hermionie is in the Castle set as well, or the Diagon Alley shops – a clear attempt to get you to buy more sets in order to have completeness. Outside of that, and ignoring it, the set IS good . . . decent details, good authentic touches . . . the Troll figure is well-designed, and can even smash and knock-over the sink. He can even be hit over the hit with dropping bricks. A fun, enjoyable set that kids (and collector’s) will enjoy.
