Fun but takes a while to build!
By A Customer
I received this set yesterday from Amazon.com and I am still in the process of building it. It is an extremely large set (the box was more than a foot in length) and it comes with seven characters: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Gilderoy Lockhart, Ginny Weasley, Tom Riddle, Fawkes the Phoenix, and the Basilisk, a large, deadly snake. The set's instruction booklet is in several sections to help build all of the seperate sections that are put together to actually form the Chamber of Secrets itself. They are Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, with has a trapdoor and it's fairly easy to build; two Chamber walls; a gate-like structure that looks like a face with an open mouth that the Basilisk can crawl through; and three small towers that can be placed on the top of the set. There are several cool props, such as the Gryffindor sword, the Sorting Hat, flames, little black snakes that can be placed in several different areas, two tiny Lego daggers that can be placed in the roof of the Basilisk's mouth and look like its two fangs, and several others. It's a great set but it takes a while to build, and unless you are a devoted Lego builder, the set could become a huge, hopeless mess. Overall this is one of the best Lego sets I've ever received, and it is certainly worth the money. Buy it and love it!

Yet Another Place in the Magical World of Harry Potter
By A Customer
The Chamber of Secrets is possibly the most interesting of all the Harry Potter sets. This set is huge with about 700 or so pieces. When my sister and I pulled the package out from under the Christmas tree for me to assemble (I build all of our family's Harr Potter LEGO sets, although the instructions are so clear, my six-year old sister could probably put it together, too) I expected the pieces to be all in a jumble, after all, it was a big set! Instead, I found each part of the set neatly packaged and easy to build.

The set didn't take long to make, and we had plenty of fun acting out the scenes, but mostly creating our own. Assembly is easy. It may take a while, but the finished piece is worth it. There is Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, an opening for the basilisk to come through, three towers, and the Chamber itself. This set comes with Ginny, (an important character in this book, and my favorite) Tom Riddle, (a.k.a. Voldemort at 16) Porfessor Lockhart, Ron, Fawkes, and, of course, Harry Potter.

This LEGO set comes with everything need for props (sword, diary, etc.) and will keep you occupied for hours. (at least it did for me)

A lot of fun, a really well done set
By Homa Woodrum
Looking at a picture of this set isn't enough to grasp all the cool features. But I'm getting ahead of myself. You get three minifigs here: Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Harry! Minerva McGonagall is a new minifig in Lego form, she has a green outfit, complete with a unique sloped piece to act as a skirt. My only complaint about the dress is that the bottom pops off easily. The unique aspects of this set are great, it fits in perfectly with any other Hogwarts sets and the area around the staircase can close and stay closed. Before you can finish saying, "Lemondrops" you're ready to see Dumbledore! There are some great semi-transparent pieces that act as stained glass -- bluish purple ones for the set's secret back door and red & geen ones for a window in the actual office. In the very top of the tower there is a mechanism so that you can turn the swirling galaxy from behind. To sum it all up, there are a lot of moving and hinged areas that make this set a lot of fun to build and even more fun to play with. It isn't as simple as it looks, trust me. It took me about an hour to build. One recommendation I'd make is to build it on a table. Set #4729 is 446 pieces, and is worth every penny of the price.

A very good Harry Potter Lego
By Lonnie E. Holder
Legos typically make enjoyable toy kits. However, some are better than average, and this one is such. The greatest fun comes from the moving elements and imagination that went into the design of the toy. A word of caution too. This kit is for a more experienced builder of Legos, so some children at the lower end of the recommended age range may need mom or dad's help.

One of the more fascinating features is a spiral staircase that swivels and collapses so that the toy can be closed. I also like the locking arrangement with scorpion handle that locks the outer walls into place. Another novel feature is a rotating mechanism that can be moved from outside the toy to rotate a disk with images of stars and galaxies on it.

There is also a swiveling wall that has a key on the back side, a book that can hold a plastic envelope, and a mail box that has a slot for the same type of envelope. I'm probably neglecting a moving feature, there were so many in this set.

You also get three figures. An outstanding representation of Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and (another) Harry Potter. My one objection is that every Harry Potter set seems to include another Harry Potter. I understand that someone might purchase only one Lego Harry Potter set, and thus would need one of these Harry Potters, but we are on our way to having a football team's worth of Harry's, for both offense and defense. Ah well. I guess with that many Harry's no matter how many get vacuumed up you'll always have one.

I enjoy toys that have many features. This particular set is a bit on the pricier side, but for that price you get a lot of value. This set makes a good center piece for many of the smaller Harry Potter sets available. This set is also somewhat challenging to build, and will take an hour or more of your time. You should have a large flat area to build it on, such as a table.

I consider this set essential for a collector of Legos or Harry Potter. Definitely one of the better Harry Potter sets, and one of the best Legos sets we have ever purchased. I give this Lego kit 5 stars for fun because of all the motion involved. 5 stars for educational value because of the difficulty of assembly. And 5 stars for durability given that Legos are generally durable within the limits of their design. A very good value!

Escape From Privet Drive Rocks!
By Juliet
I just got this lego set. I saw it on Lego.com along with all of the other Chamber of Secrets Lego sets. This one is a good one. It provides the Harry Potter fanatic and Lego fanatic with our first look at Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia's house Lego style. The set come with the house, the flying car, Ron, Harry, and Uncle Vernon. Plus, we get to see Harry and Ron in their Muggle clothes again. I'm disapointed though, because the set doesn't come with Fred and George Weasley, who were responsible for saving Harry from the Dursleys. But if you've got a few more Lego sets you can always take two other Rons and pretend that they are George and Fred. This set is definitely worth your money. If you are debating on whether to get this set or Hagrid's Hut for the same price, get this one. If you have a Dobby mini-fig, you can also act out the part where Harry meets Dobby among other scenes. Definitely get this one!

The Magic of Privet Drive
By Sira Raven
This is definitely a wonderful addition to any Harry Potter fanatic's LEGO collection. Just as all LEGO sets, there is a great attention paid to detail, with the letters, the flying car and, of course, the characters. Uncle Vernon looks very similar to his movie counterpart and it is nice to have Harry and Ron in different outfits for a change. His bed under the stairs opens up to reveal a storage compartment, and the upstairs window comes off (with the help of the flying car) to help Harry escape. Both car doors open with room for 2 LEGO characters to fit in comfortably. This set is definitely worth every penny.

Numero Uno with my 3 year old
By joellen e shendy
My son must of asked for this toy about 100+ times. I declined as he was only 3 and I worried it would be way too advanced and difficult for him.

I finally broke down (don't we all?) and got it. I fully expected his older sister to take it over almost immediately but NOT SO! This toy has provided hours (in the hundreds!) of fun for my 3 year old. The car is great. He carries it everywhere. It is VERY sturdy (even for Lego) and he has not lost any of the pieces. He loves putting Ron and Harry in and taking them out. His all time favorite thing is using the car to "pull" Harry's window out. In an average day he probably does it 20-50 times and so far has not gotten bored at all. My son has special needs and this toy has contributed greatly to helping his fine motor control.

We do (my daughter and I) have to put it together for him but once its together he's ready to go. He's even starting to be able to fix things himself on it which is a great feat for him! It doesn't fall apart or come apart when moved and it is very durable. Hey, if it can take months with a 3 year old its *almost* indestructible!

I give this 5 stars. I'd give it more if I could. My best toy purchase for 2003 hands down.
