Ravenclaw's banner looks sharp on a shelf, but $35 for 305 pieces in 2023 is a stretch — you're paying for the license, full stop.
The parts alone are worth about 123% of the street price — the basis for this D price read.

The Hogwarts house banner sets have a clear pitch: vertical build, decent minifig trio, instantly recognizable on any shelf. Ravenclaw delivers exactly that — a tidy display piece with some nice printed elements and a color palette that pops. The build itself is pleasant without being memorable, the kind of Saturday-afternoon set that's done before you finish your coffee. Where it stumbles is the price tag; $34.99 sits uncomfortably high for what you're holding. Fans of the IP will still want it to complete the set of four banners, and that completionist pull is probably what keeps resale from tanking. A B- on love makes sense — it's likable, just not remarkable.
