The Full Take
There's a specific kind of LEGO® Harry Potter set that isn't trying to be Diagon Alley or the full castle — it just wants to put you in one warm, recognizable moment from the wizarding world, and Charms Class pulls that off. The build is modest but cohesive, with enough detail to feel like a proper classroom scene rather than a promotional filler set. Three minifigs is respectable at this price point, and the character selection will matter a lot depending on which minifigs land in the box. It won't dominate a shelf but it won't embarrass one either — this is the kind of set that fills a gap in a Harry Potter display rather than anchoring it. At $19.99 it's a reasonable ask, not a bargain and not a rip-off. The B- overall is fair: it's a solid entry-level Harry Potter set for fans who want more of the world without committing to a flagship price.
