Early read · 0 reviews
Eight minifigs in a $99 Harry Potter set is the kind of value that makes you check the price tag twice. The Astronomy Tower delivers the castle corner fantasy with a roster that could carry an entire scene on its own.
Is the price fair?A+Eight minifigs and a strong build for a hundred dollars — the Harry Potter line rarely hits this kind of value.
Will you love it?B-Shelf-ready castle aesthetic with a character roster that makes it feel complete rather than starter.
Holds its value?A-Retired Harry Potter castle sets have a track record, and this one has the size and recognition to follow suit.
The Full Take
The Astronomy Tower is one of those sets where the minifig lineup does as much heavy lifting as the build itself — eight characters for a hundred dollars is a rare thing in the licensed LEGO® world. The build itself gives you a convincing slice of Hogwarts: the tower silhouette reads immediately on a shelf, and the modular stacking structure means there's genuine substance to the build experience. Where it falls short is interior detail — the rooms feel a touch sparse for the footprint, and dedicated fans may notice corners cut in the fill. Still, as a value proposition in the Harry Potter line, this one sits near the top. The A- overall is well-earned: it's not perfect, but it's the kind of set that's hard to talk yourself out of.
