Hermione Granger in polybag form shouldn't work this well — but the desk, the books, the little study setup? It nails the character in 30 pieces flat.
Is the price fair?CToo much for 30 pieces — the charm is real, the value math is not.
Will you love it?A+Hermione in her element, captured in a surprisingly complete little vignette.
Holds its value?B-Modest secondary market ceiling; Harry Potter keeps it from tanking, but don't expect a surge.

The Full Take
Polybags rarely make you feel anything, but this one lands. Hermione's study desk captures something specific about her — the stacked books, the tidy workspace, the sense that she's about to ace whatever exam Hogwarts throws at her. The minifig alone is worth the pickup for Harry Potter fans. Pricing is the weak spot; these bag sets tend to command more than they should at retail, and you're not getting a lot of brick for your dollar. That said, the love factor is real — this is a set you put on your desk and smile at, not one you second-guess. For a polybag, that's a win.
