I wish they gave Luna a different face, or just not have included her in this set, she wasn't even introduced as a character in the Chamber of Secrets book/movie. But I do like that Ravenclaw robe piece.
Ikr, Luna is so random in this set. I mean it's nice that they wanted to include the Ravenclaw robes, but Penelope Clearwater would make much more sense, and she would be a new character too.
Nope, the official Lego website lists the minifigure as Luna. Also, Penelope would have normal sized legs as she was in her fifth or sixth year during CoS.
The reason you can easily take the great hall of the chamber is because you can fit the rest of the 2021 sets into one castle where the poly juice potion mistake set goes above the slide and everything else is moved up :)
Amazing review! A lot are saying that the set with the brick built Fawkes seems random but I think that it really compliments the Chamber of Secrets. After all Fawkes was really prominent in that movie
Love seeing you so genuinely excited, this review (and all of your reviews, but especially HP ones) is so detailed and you help me out tremendously in making decisions as to what to get first. Can’t wait to see Hogsmeade! I think Hogsmeade might be my first and this my second- but I’m still playing catch up on other series sets that are retiring.. ughh! Anyway, thank you again, keep up the great work!
It’s when the leg is physically made up of two different colours in the moulding, rather than the colour being printed on (e.g. Daffy Duck, Woody TS4, Spider-Man figs)
This has better minifigure selection than great hall because of Luna Lovegood. She's so beloved and we get her in the ravenclaw robes and she wasn't even in the 2nd movie!
Im going to place gold hedwig in the normal great hall and using pieces from the moments books I will use the great hall as a charms or transfiguration classroom
This is a solid set. I personally like the sand green roof. Otherwise it would just be a remake of the other castle sets with a bit of variation. Besides it definitely stands out for an anniversary wave. Love the frog cards. 😉💙👍🏻💖
I had the original 2001 hogwarts castle set when I was growing up and the nostalgia is just hitting so hard for me. I also had other sets like the girls bathroom (then the slytherin common room) and it's just so great to see Lego doing stuff like this to pay homage. I started really getting back into lego about a year ago and I went back into my bucket of legos and rebuilt some of my older sets and I cannot wait to put them next to the new sets.
I'm intrested, can you use the 2021 Hogwarts great hall set, the chamber of secrets part to use under the 2018 great hall ? And the other 2021 Hogwarts sets ?
Lord Goldemort, lol. On the plus side with the tiles, they'll likely be quite collectible and in demand, thus easy to sell. Excellent review, glad I pre-ordered and decided to base mine and my brothers Hogwarts build around this set.
The tower having an Astronomy room at the top is a reference to the 2001 Hogwarts. Much like that set, this has the conical tower top attached with only a couple studs, making it easily removable to use the telescope (this is shown in the official images).
Sorry in case you already mentioned it, I didn't watch the whole video yet. But will you do a video replacing the sandgreen roofs with dark bluish grey ones?
The great hall top looks very much like the 2001 version (4709) with the half plates in the corners, that minifig head under the bowl, and the tower with banner in center.
I've got more bad news about the frog cards. I know we assumed that if two cards were in the same bag they shouldn't be the same, but I just opened my Polyjuice potion mistake set, (where both cards are in the same bag) and they're both McGonagall
How come that the Ravenclaw robe actually got the eagle in its crest but the others don't? Anyways, great review Holly, love your videos, greetings from Germany!
I wish that lego had made a chamber of secrets set that was able to fit with the 2018 set bu going under it so the great hall was on top of the chamber of secrets like in the 2002 wave because i feel like it would be super cool
I honestly think this set lacks cohesion. Would be much more appropriate to have that corridor with the wall writing in blood and the myrtle bathroom and a snippet of a slytherin dungeon or an aragog closet perhaps. Astronomical tower and everything was completely unnecessary.
This looks really good can’t wait to get it also 2 questions if you can answer them 1: is there going to be a way to get the frog cards you might not get from the sets 2: where did you get your top from ? Also glad you got to review this first and loving all you content
33:01 I’m thinking that the amount of chocolate frogs in the set could correlate to the amount of chocolate frog cards that come with the set. There are 2 in the great hall, 1 in the roof, 1 on the balcony and 1 in the chamber door build, and maybe that “poop” piece under the Sorting Hat is a melted one?
Im buying it for sure but i think i will customize some parts of it. I plan to turn the great hall into a classroom. Im gonna put the door of the chamber between the the two parts of the chamber, in its accurate position.
I actually like Luna Lovegood's inclusion. She may have not appeared in Chamber of Secrets, but she was Ginny's age when she first came to Hogwarts. It's a nice detail for her first year.
Great review, this set looks awesome! I'd love to see a comparison of this set to the 2018 great hall, as well as all of these new sets put together and other combinations with these new hogwarts sets, and maybe what this set would look like attached to some of the older hogwarts sets, like the astronomy tower.
Lockhart: “But I want a cape-“
Edna: “NO CAPES!”
🤣🤣🤣
😂
🤣
I love this movie 🥰
Lmfao😂 someone who has both minifigures should recreate that in Lego
lmao
I'd assume there's so many chocolate frogs in the set to go with the chocolate frog cards
The telescope sees through walls. MAGIC
4th walls
Haha!!
Id like but your on 69
I have the ser and it fdels lile that piece has a weaker connection sl it can be removwd

I’m pretty sure that’s Penelope Clearwater and not Luna. But I don’t know, they’re both blonde and in ravenclaw.
Nope, the official Lego website lists the minifigure as Luna. Also, Penelope would have normal sized legs as she was in her fifth or sixth year during CoS.

I don't know why Justin and Colin's second expressions aren't their petrified expression. Especially Colin's which was all scrunched up.
They could've used Gabrielle Delacour's face for young Luna.
YES
Or for ginny bc she gets put in a coma its not the same when she is staring lol
I'm going to watch this a thousend times!!!
Yeah me too
Yep
Second time
Good luck
I love the "BAM!" with Tom Riddle. Great moment
The reason you can easily take the great hall of the chamber is because you can fit the rest of the 2021 sets into one castle where the poly juice potion mistake set goes above the slide and everything else is moved up :)
I think the chocolate frogs are there to make it look like they escaped from the packet, as you get 6 chocolate frog cards.
Idk why but at 6:32 that "BAM" is making me laugh so hard! XD
I can’t wait to get this set, it looks so good.
hollys build of the basilisk is so much better but the one in the set is a big step up from the one in the great hall
I, again, LOVE the pure excitement on her face and in her voice
Ginny in a wig😂
Ahhh I’m so excited for my birthday! That’s when I can FINALLY get my hands on this set ! I love it 😻
YESSSSS I have been waiting for this thank u holly
Amazing review! A lot are saying that the set with the brick built Fawkes seems random but I think that it really compliments the Chamber of Secrets. After all Fawkes was really prominent in that movie
I am so hyped with these reviews, Holly! But that "Ginny in the wig" part cracked me up! 😂 Thanks for the great videos Holly! :)

This is AMAZING!!! btw, what does dual molding on minifig legs mean? Trying to expand my Lego word bank 😂

@@HollyOnFilm ok, thank you! Yes that would have been the best for Tom!!

The nearly headless nick minifig is 100% awesomeeee 😱😱😱👌
Wow glad I just checked UA-cam!!
OH MY GOSH THE PIXIES!!!!!
I stopped what I was doing immediately
At 30:18 on the black tile there is what I think is a reference to either hero factory or bionicle
Yes finaly!! I'm so excited!
The glow in the dark technic ball may be supposed to be a crystal ball?
This is a solid set. I personally like the sand green roof. Otherwise it would just be a remake of the other castle sets with a bit of variation. Besides it definitely stands out for an anniversary wave. Love the frog cards. 😉💙👍🏻💖

YESS...This set is amazing!!
So is lockhart's portrait printed on the piece or a sticker?
I'm intrested, can you use the 2021 Hogwarts great hall set, the chamber of secrets part to use under the 2018 great hall ? And the other 2021 Hogwarts sets ?
It would be too skinny but with a bit of modding I reckon it could be done
If I ever get the set, I’m gonna try that. Good idea
@@Someone-nz6ou thanks
@@HollyOnFilm that's a shame, but thanks for answering.🙂
Yeah!
Could you make a tutorial on how to combine the sets from 2018 to 2020 with this year's sets?
Yep! I will do once I get the last few pieces to change over the roof colours
The glow and the dark technic ball could be a prophecy orb
Yesss
Nick looks so cool 😮
OMG🤯🤯🤯
Lord Goldemort, lol. On the plus side with the tiles, they'll likely be quite collectible and in demand, thus easy to sell. Excellent review, glad I pre-ordered and decided to base mine and my brothers Hogwarts build around this set.

What a great set. Just a quick question how tall is it so I know if I can for on my shelf?
Since it’s all modular you can change the height, but in its default mode, it’s 15.5”/40cm
Just an fyi the open robes were from Harry in the series one cmf anyways love the video and can’t wait to pick this up
On the star map one of the constellations is a Bionicle mask.
The constellation on the star chart is a Bionicle mask
The star map in the astronomy tower has a Bionicle Easter egg 😊
Why did they go back to sand green? 😭
Sorry in case you already mentioned it, I didn't watch the whole video yet. But will you do a video replacing the sandgreen roofs with dark bluish grey ones?
Yep, just waiting on my last Bricklink order to arrive ☺️
@@HollyOnFilm awesome, that's exactly what I need!
Great review.
Compared to the movie I thought the Basilisk would be more sand-blue instead of green. But the head is a big improvement.
The great hall top looks very much like the 2001 version (4709) with the half plates in the corners, that minifig head under the bowl, and the tower with banner in center.
I'm so excited I just can't hide it. I built the great hall set the other day and was so disappointed by the basilisk, so this basilisk is great.
I've got more bad news about the frog cards. I know we assumed that if two cards were in the same bag they shouldn't be the same, but I just opened my Polyjuice potion mistake set, (where both cards are in the same bag) and they're both McGonagall
I plan on picking up all the castle pieces this year, because it feels sorta incomplete without them all, and, they’re AWESOME this year!
YES OMG AMAZING UR THE BEST AAAAAAHHHHHH
sorry I’m just FREAKING OUT
me too
Same!!!!
Haha, the Constellation piece has Tahu's mask!
definitely getting this set. it's so much larger than i thought it was.
How come that the Ravenclaw robe actually got the eagle in its crest but the others don't? Anyways, great review Holly, love your videos, greetings from Germany!
I want that LEGO Harry Potter set for my 18th birthday!
Owl: uh oh I accidentally did something hear oh well I’ll just cover this up with a hat
Kid when after getting sorted into a house: what’s on my head
I just bought this set. Though I am a fan of HP. I'm parting the set out to build a Alternate MOC of Set #76183 Batcave: The Riddler Face-off
Waiting for new sections of the castle and.....the give us the Great Hall AGAIN?!
Omg wooo exited
Thanks you so much for the great review!
I wish that lego had made a chamber of secrets set that was able to fit with the 2018 set bu going under it so the great hall was on top of the chamber of secrets like in the 2002 wave because i feel like it would be super cool
Great review! Have you ever thought about doing REAL vs FAKE videos where you compare real lego harry potter vs fake ones.
Wait did she say home-age? I say it oh-mahj
Hi holly, whats the word your saying about the inscription on the glass jar with leaves in it, ''broons based''? 20:40
Is it just me, or is there a Bionicle head In the star chart at 30:16? Easter egg perhaps?
I honestly think this set lacks cohesion. Would be much more appropriate to have that corridor with the wall writing in blood and the myrtle bathroom and a snippet of a slytherin dungeon or an aragog closet perhaps. Astronomical tower and everything was completely unnecessary.
This looks really good can’t wait to get it also 2 questions if you can answer them
1: is there going to be a way to get the frog cards you might not get from the sets
2: where did you get your top from ?
Also glad you got to review this first and loving all you content
Bricklink the frog cards
33:01 I’m thinking that the amount of chocolate frogs in the set could correlate to the amount of chocolate frog cards that come with the set. There are 2 in the great hall, 1 in the roof, 1 on the balcony and 1 in the chamber door build, and maybe that “poop” piece under the Sorting Hat is a melted one?
I wish the set focused on the chamber
The students probably lose a lot chocolate frogs everyday theres probably a lot throughout the howl school
Penelope clear water isn't meantioned untill the third book and she is in the 7th year so I don't get you on that
Now I can't wait for my 18th birthday... I'll get this set as a gift 😍
that constellation is tahu from bionicle
Im buying it for sure but i think i will customize some parts of it.
I plan to turn the great hall into a classroom.
Im gonna put the door of the chamber between the the two parts of the chamber, in its accurate position.
I think that all the chocolate frogs are there cuz of the amount of chocolate frog cards
I actually like Luna Lovegood's inclusion. She may have not appeared in Chamber of Secrets, but she was Ginny's age when she first came to Hogwarts. It's a nice detail for her first year.
At 19:22 you say the part of the fireplace, but you made an error and if you keep watching the clip, you accidentally added another one of that clip.
I'm glad u showed up in my recommendations
Could the random skull be a reference to Hamlet that Kenneth Branagh also starred in/directed?
Great review, this set looks awesome! I'd love to see a comparison of this set to the 2018 great hall, as well as all of these new sets put together and other combinations with these new hogwarts sets, and maybe what this set would look like attached to some of the older hogwarts sets, like the astronomy tower.
Can someone pls inform me the meanings of all the different colors of frogs???? What r they trying 2 represent
I think I will buy this in Christmas because it will be in special pricing
YEEEEESSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Why do you call the head of Salazar Slytherin the "entrance" when it's the basilisk lair, and then you call the actual entrance just the "door"...
True hero.
You should try and add the castle bits to the end of Sesame Street with the technic pins, lol.
Maybe the MANY frogs are here to match with the collectible cards? 🤔
You had a scene in your video repeat about the fire place
The thing on the constellation looks like dearth vader
*me watching this mainly bc my birthday is in two days (17th May) and I wanna see what sets I should add to my list to get in the future ) 😂
cant wait for this set, got it on pre order! but mostly got it for building and figs (minus gold voldemort)
25:17 frog bones? (The white frog)
Not gonna lie, buddy, what made this video for me? Just how damn excited you are. I am too, my friend!
Why couldn't we get something better then the astronomy tower, my only issue with the set
OMG
