This was a fun build. There is only one thing that I would like to suggest for future book nooks. Hinges. I was expecting to have the ability to open and close the book nook. It is two separate pieces, which connect the way the modular buildings do. If a hinge is not possible, then a way to secure the nook in a closed position would we advised.

Worst Book Nook
Compared to the LEGO book nooks, this is the worst one. It doesn’t have a folding mechanism like the others. Also, it’s impossible to keep Harry and Ron on the pegs, as the carts take up too much room, knocking them off. Also, Hedwig keeps falling off. This one just isn’t well thought out.

THIS SET IS THE BEST
As a harry potter fan, this set is absolutely perfect, it comes with 2 perfect minifigures, with a quote for each of them on each side, and that hogwarts express build is pretty solid, the best part of the set isn't even technically advertised, as it works really well as bookends, or a book nook, lego did an amazing job!

The LEGO Book Nook: Hogwarts Express is a magical and beautifully detailed build that makes a stunning shelf piece for any Harry Potter fan. The instructions were mostly clear, though I did have an issue with the chair placement inside the train—if you follow the directions exactly, the wall won’t fit on properly.

Fun activity with a purpose!
I had so much fun putting this together! As an adult, I stray from buying Lego sets as I don't "play" with them often. However, the Harry Potter bookends set allowed me to display my work in a functional way in my house! It took a few hours to put together, but it's sitting proudly on my bookcase right now. I hope Lego continues to make "functional" sets like these!

Not worth the money
It was a nice very easy build. But compare to other book nook i found this one not the best. It could have been bigger so that more detail could have been put into it. The back is also very plain. Sorry to say lego but this one is not what I expected was a bit disappointed.

Enjoyable for a Harry Potter fan
This is a great display piece for a Harry Potter fan, maybe as bookends for the novels! It's a typical Lego set where the pieces come in little baggies. The instructions are easy to understand and quality is up to par. It's a fun build as a Lego novice, nothing crazy complicated.

Detailed and fun
Lego has been so much fun to put together, and it looks so detailed with a lot of different components! I remember Lego blocks when I was growing up, and this is even another level of wow.

Great display piece
Nice display piece, it looks great next to my books. Feels similar in spirit to the Star Wars Starship collection in spirit, and should be purchased if you're a Harry Potter fan. The build itself was straight forward but fun,with the inherent repetition of building two similar halves more relaxing. Lot of stickers in the set, but they are pretty forgiving in placement s...

Fun and cute
Super cute set and very engaging to work on with kids. Truly a great gift for a Harry Potter fanatic. Loved the packaging as well and would serve as a great show piece once built.

Solid build with nice detail
I bought this for my daughter’s room to display her illustrated Harry Potter books. They compliment each other very well. The figures have to be placed very carefully though or the will pop off.

Instructions make construction easy!
This is awesome. I thought it would be difficult but the instructions are step by step and makes it super easy to construct. I like that the pieces are bagged in sections so you dont have to go looking for parts through all 800 pieces. The most difficult part is getting the stickers on straight. As far as using the pieces over again to make something else, sure. Your im...

Cooler than it looks
So, I bought this b/c I didn’t have a Hogwarts Expresd, and i needed one. the coolest part is since it’s magic, one end can be anywhere compared to the other end. Using it to have separate areas for Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade/hogwarts in my display.

Not Worth The Money
I was really excited for this set, and when I started putting it together I realized that there are no unique features about this build. The pieces are all the same from the rest of the Harry Potter Lego sets, and there are no surprise pieces or easter eggs to find while building. Also, the lego figures won't even comfortably fit on the pegs in front of the train, they ...
