 Super Cool Hagrid's Hut Lego KitOct 17, 2010
By C. Irish
"Read On!"
This is an excellent Harry Potter Lego set. While I'm not a pro with the Lego's I thought this would be a really neat set since we've been playing Harry Potter Lego 1-4 for the Wii and I saw the new kits for sale so we bought one. The Lego's are magical and if you follow the directions closely you come out with a really neat rendition of Hagrid's Hut. The kit includes Mini Figures of Harry, Ron, Hermoine and Hagrid. You get a couple of owls, Scabbers, a big figure of Aragog that you put together (and he turns out really cool, too), and you get the awesome hut and some little crawly spiders to put around.
The hut is charming inside and out and is decorated better than I thought it would turn out. Hagrid has pots, a fire that uses a special lego block that is a light and a cute, charming door that opens and closes, and he has his baby hatchling dinosaur.
This is a wonderful Hagrid's hut if you like Harry Potter Lego sets. We've enjoyed putting it together and we are going to display it with some other Harry Potter things we have. The kit was a lot of fun to put together and it really turned out neat after following the detailed instructions. The instructions for the more complicated kits means that kids, and adults have to think and follow them to create the finished product. The instructions are very good. I kept wondering how people design these! I would recommend this Lego Set for all Harry Potter fans. Putting this together meant spending some fun time with the kids and the end product was really cool. We did the Dobby kit first to warm up with and really liked it and moved on to the more complicated Hagrid's Hut kit. I would like to sometime move on to the beautifully designed Hogwarts Castle. These new generation Lego Sets are really wonderful. I would recommend adding them to any Harry Potter fan's Christmas list. They are just out now in the stores, and if you hurry....

Amazingly-detailed Lego Harry Potter setNov 23, 2010
By Justin Gaines
My Lego-loving son is not a huge Harry Potter fan yet, but he absolutely loves Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets [Blu-ray]. Specifically, the scene where Harry and Ron track down the giant spider Aragog in the forest just cracks him up. So when he saw that the new Hagrid's Hut Lego set contained a "scared Ron" minifigure and Aragog, it went to the top of his birthday wish list.
I have to say, I didn't see the appeal of this set. Sure, the minifigures (you get Harry, Ron, Hermione and Hagrid) and the giant spider are cool, but the hut just seemed so small considering the set's price. Once I started assembling it though, I was amazed at all of the little details that make this set so neat. The hut is pretty plain from the outside, with some interesting vegetation (those pumpkins are totally going to be repurposed later as jack-o-lantern monster dudes) and decals, but when you open it up you see a ton of cool surprises. There is a lighted fireplace with a cauldron that swings over it, a desk with a secret compartment, a table with a bowl and glass, various bottles, a broom, Hagrid's crossbow and umbrella/wand, and food, keys and an axe hanging from hooks. There are also a pair of owls, a trio of spiders, Scabbers the rat and the baby dragon Norbert. The only thing missing was Hagrid's dog Fang. Well, the Weasley's flying car (that's in the new LEGO Harry Potter Hogwart's Express (4841) set) would have been a great addition as well.
Complexity: With 442 pieces, this is a pretty tough set to build. I spent about 90 minutes assembling the hut, while my son put together the minifigures and began various spider-themed adventures. The box says it's recommended for ages 7 and up, and I could see 7-year-olds having a tough time with this one. One interesting note - Aragog's legs are actually katana-style swords from previous Lego sets.
Playability: Like I said earlier, I didn't see the appeal of this set initially, but there are so many details and facets of this set that facilitate imaginative play. Between the minifigures and their accessories (owls, wands, etc.), Aragog and all of the hut's features, my son is having a blast with this set. The only issue I see is that the roof panels tend to fall apart if you try to adjust them at all. It's best just to leave them in one position.
This really is a fantastic little set. It's worlds better than the earlier Hagrid's Hut playsets (LEGO Harry Potter: Hagrid's Hut (4707) and LEGO Harry Potter Hagrid's Hut Set (4754)), and a great starter set for the Lego Harry Potter line.

LEGO Harry Potter Hagrid's HutOct 17, 2010
By Teacher
I purchased this set for my grandson who is an avid Harry Potter fan. My grandson has been building LEGO sets for some time now (mostly Star Wars), and he has invented many sets on his own, which I believe enhances his cognitive development. He and I were excited when we found the two Harry Potter sets I purchased. I have been helping to build Hagrid's Hut, and I have found the directions to be clear. However, I have had some frustration with the bricks coming apart and the structure collapsing. Maybe I need more practice building with the LEGOs.

ANTI-LEGO child LOVES this set (thank you, Harry Potter!)Oct 31, 2011
By lollipopsandlattes
My 7-year-old daughter, who is a devout Harry Potter fan, begged for this set (and other Harry Potter ones) for many months, so, despite her distaste for lego toys (this has been true for more than three years), I finally caved in, took a chance, and purchased it. I have NO regrets.
I took a chance AFTER noting her acknowledgement that legos MIGHT be fun after I had purchased the Winnie the Pooh Set LEGO Winnie's House 5947 (and the zoo set, etc), for her now almost 2-year-old sister: I fully credit her younger sister for helping make my 7-year-old realize that building/constructing might be worthwhile, especially if a favorite character was involved, so she could then revert to imaginative play. But back to Hagrid's Hut...
The pieces are tiny, and can be easily lost, so it's vital that you open and build the mini packages as directed, and work in an area that is free of clutter or patterns (like those found on rugs, etc.). Also, the pieces--unless properly interlocked, which can be difficult for younger children, will fall apart on you, making it necessary to redo a section of the hut many times. This meant that my daughter and I worked on the set together, with her doing initial assembling and with me talking her through the process, and (at times) redoing her handiwork. We got to spend many quality hours together, and it was a thrill watching her anticipation mount as each section of Hagrid's hut neared completion. We spent a great deal of time reviewing (again and again) the directions--and talking about the importance of reading directions carefully before jumping into something, and somehow we managed to relate this task to a science project: don't let the project blow up. We laughed over our favorite scenes in the books (she has read books 1-4 and has seen those movies) and bemoaned Ron's fear of spiders, and especially of Aragog. Essentially, we discussed everything from directions to all things related to Harry Potter. She also pretended, at my suggestion, that she was a builder, following the direction of an architect, which led us to talk about architecture, etc. It was all splendid fun, and despite issues with finding pieces, etc., the building experience remained positive and upbeat.
ONE PROBLEM WE HAD: The colors in the directions do not necessarily completely correspond to the colors of the legos, so you may think you're searching for something black when you're really looking for something dark grey--not terribly troublesome, but helpful to know in advance.
Also, as I mentioned, the pieces are tiny, so could be easily lost, misplaced, and this factor also makes it a little difficult to use the set for imaginative play once it has been built. That said, my daughter has kept the directions and goes back to her little set and is currently rebuilding it, just for fun, and to see if she can do it completely on her own. We also bought the Harry Potter Knight Bus and she had great fun building this one as well. LEGO Harry Potter The Knight Bus #4866. She has also returned to this set to rebuild, and she loves that it is mobile--nice wheels. I intend to buy her the Hogwart's Castle LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (4842) set for this Christmas.
All in all, these are expensive but wonderful purchases (just remember to compare seller rates and monitor them--I've seen the Hogwart's Castle go as little as $112, it all depends on the time of day, etc.), and can also be rebuilt, so there is lots of play value (and learning value here). They also look great on a shelf since they are compact, so don't take much room!
We are planning on using these sets as extra decor for her 8th birthday party, which is going to be all about Harry Potter and wizardry/dragons. I have to admit, I'm a Harry Potter fan too, so I had fun building this set as well.

Long wait for Lego's experienceMar 02, 2011
By Peg Rainey
"windygran"
I must admit that I never had an interest in Lego's as a child but then I discovered Harry Potter and a whole new world opened up to me. I just completed my first set, Hagrid's Hut, and enjoyed the experience immensely. I enjoy Lego's for the aesthetic value and feeling of accomplishment rather than as a "toy". I'm hoping that my enthusiasm for Harry Potter and Lego's will rub off on my grandchildren. I have two more sets waiting in the wings....The Burrows and Hogwarts Castle and can hardly wait to get started. Hagrid's Hut is great! Are there any other nearly senior citizens out there who feel the same as I do?
