The Dueling Club scene is a clever pick for a small set — wands out, four minifigs deep, and a playable little diorama that punches above what $24.99 usually buys in this theme. The price grade tells a different story, though.

The Full Take
Dueling Club is one of those Harry Potter moments that deserved a set, and LEGO® finally gave it one — Draco, Harry, Lockhart, and Snape all in one box is a solid minifig lineup for a scene this iconic. The build itself is compact but characterful: a bit of stone archway, a raised dueling platform, enough detail to read as Hogwarts without feeling hollow. At $24.99 for 157 pieces, the math isn't in your favor — this is firmly on the expensive side for what you're holding. That said, the B on the love read is earned; the theme fans will get a kick out of it and the minifig selection is hard to argue with. As a shelf piece it's more of a vignette than a centerpiece, so pair it with something larger if display is the goal. It won't blow anyone away as a standalone, but it fits neatly into a growing Hogwarts collection.
