This is the largest Harry Potter LEGO® set that was made up to this point and it is full of details and fun! This set takes Harry Potter and Ron Weasley deep under the school and into the Chamber of Secrets where Tom Riddle is waiting for Harry. Tom used Ginny Weasley to lure Harry to him, and it worked.
The set also includes Professor Lockhart in all his glory. Whether Lockhart makes it down into the Chamber to help save the day is up to you.
You get Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, which is also the opening to the Chamber. Down in the Chamber there is an opening where the Basilisk comes through that is a super creepy replica of Salazar Slytherin, and two sides that swing open that show details of the Chamber.
Not only is this set large in terms of the number of bricks used to build it but it is also large in terms of space. You are going to need a large area to place this. I had mine on one of my bookshelves and it took up the entire bookshelf.
The playset also includes must-have items that are needed to play out this scene such as the Sword of Gryffindor, Tom Riddle's diary, and Fawkes the Phoenix. Will Fawkes arrive in time to save Harry's life after Harry is bitten by the Basilisk? Or will Tom Riddle absorb what remains of Ginny's life force and return to life?
