(More customer reviews)When I heard that Lego was making a quidditch-themed set, I was so excited. The wizard game plays such a big role in ALL of the Harry Potter books so I started envisioning something like Lego's football/soccer theme with complete team sets (I don't think I'm the one who is wishing for an Oliver Wood minifig) and after all my imaginings, this set was a bid of a let down. Included are Harry & Draco in their quidditch robes, Malfoy with his very cool black Nimbus 2001 and Harry with his brown Nimbus 2000. We also have Madame Hooch playing as a referee in black robes. Her hairpiece is sort of a grey flat top. Also included are three standing hoops (don't we need 6 for a real match?) and an observation stand with one single seat. One nice feature was a blue quidditch book (I wish it had been green like "Quidditch through the ages"). What would Quidditch be without a quaffle, a snitch, and bludgers? The quaffle piece is red ball, and the bludgers are black. I think Lego could have done better with the Golden Snitch. On the Harry/Draco remembrall set the remembrall piece was really impressive, clear with a golden band around it. For the snitch I had hoped for something along those lines but instead it is just a tiny plate piece painted gold. No wings, nothing. There is also a catapult of sorts for sending the balls into the air, but I find it to be a useless feature. I like this set (#4726, 128 pieces) but the idea could have been executed so much better. I suppose one could buy multiples of this set along with other pieces to make the perfect Quidditch pitch but it would have been nicer if this set had made a better attempt. I suppose that is why one should pay careful attention to the title of the set, "Quidditch Practice."
(note: as of writing this, Amazon has a weird picture of the set where Madame Hooch's hairpiece has been switched with Harry, it looks odd, I guess they didn't follow the set's simple directions!)
