My husband is a huge Lego fan, as well as a huge Harry Potter fan. He's been collecting the Lego Harry Potter sets since they came out in 2001. So, when I saw this book, I just had to get it for him.PROS: The book may as well be called "Lego Harry Potter: A History." It details each individual Lego set (or, in cases such as the Knight Bus, which had two sets, details the sets together) up to the beginning of 2011 and provides interesting tidbits about the designs of the sets and the minifigures that came with them. It also highlights some of the more prolific minifigures, such as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco. It's really interesting to see how much detail is put into each set, and to see how the designs have improved through the years (The original Ginny minifigure pales in comparison to the newest one, for example). There's a "Behind the Scenes" section in the back that gives a short overview on the team that creates the Legos and on how the sets are designed, and there's a section on the HP Lego Video Game as well. It also includes a timeline of the different Lego HP sets, and a visual listing of all the minifigures. And finally, the book comes with an exclusive Harry minifigure, which appears to be "Yule Ball Harry."CONS: Because the minifigure is imbedded in the cover of the book, the cover itself is about as thick as the pages for the rest of the book, so it gives the appearance that the book is twice as long as it actually is. The book also doesn't detail the newest Lego Harry Potter sets that were just released (e.g., the Forbidden Forest, the newest Hogwarts Castle set), though it does mention that they're coming out soon at the end of the book and has a large, two-page spread that pictures the sets.OVERALL: This is definitely a great resource for any Harry Potter Lego collector, and is well worth the $14 we paid for it.

This is a wonderful resource for LEGO Harry Potter fans and collectors. It includes tons of worthwhile information about all sets released between 2001 and 2011, plus a great set timeline, minifigure galaxy, and even an index to help you find what you are looking for. I've put together a short video pictorial review so you'll know what's included. I hope you find it helpful.
Book was okay but probably should have spent the money on actual leggos. The book was looked at a few times but failed to hold much interest. The leggo figure that came with it on the other hand was well played with.
then, this book is the next best thing. Your child won't be able to play with the sets, but atleast they could look at the pictures (fully built) whenever they like. No lego clutter around the house :)
I purchased this book for my 6 year old son that is obsessed with Legos and Harry Potter. It comes with a Harry Potter minifigure, which is a plus. My son loves to see all the sets. The only downside is most are retired and unavailable for purchase that are pictured in the book. Still a cool book for HP fans.
Excellent resource to help identify Harry Potter Lego sets. Especially helpful when trying to see if you have a particular Harry Potter lego set in a bulk lot of Legos. I use this resource frequently. Also full of fun, interesting facts. Not just for children! Great book- kids and adults will love to look at the illustrations and it's also full of great facts on the sets including the year of the sets, variations, unique pieces, set numbers, number of pieces, mini figure information, etc. Definite must-have for any LEGO collector, especially those with Harry Potter collections.
Love the book, so informative. Sometimes I buy mixed lots online and its very helpful to identifying certain parts and sets in which the parts come from as well as the minifigures. Being a Harry Potter Fan I love it.
I had previously purchased the Lego Stars Wars book by DK and my 7 year old is still enthralled by it 4 weeks later. It is by far his favorite book and his interest in it has actually outlasted some of the Star Wars Lego sets themselves he got at the same time. My 5 year old daughter loves Harry Potter and legos (not to the 7 year olds level, but a shared interest at least). I picked this up for her thinking the 7 year old would like it as well. Mission accomplished. My daughter likes to read it and my son likes to borrow it. He will also bring his Star Wars book over and they will compare pages between the two.What makes both books so good are the large colorful photos, short readable descriptions, and the wide variety of figures and building sets they show. I wasn't aware that Lego had done so many Harry Potter sets from '00 to '05 before slowing down a bit until '10. As there are fewer Harry Potter sets then Star Wars ones overall, the Harry Potter book is more inclusive and the photos can be bigger as they aren't trying to put as much into the identical 95 pages. I was hesitant intitially due to the perceived lack of Harry Potter sets vs. Star Wars ones, but the books are both very good. Also the Harry Potter book is a more recent release and does include sets made in 2011 in its main pages, while the Star Wars book has updated only a small timeline page in the beginning. Either way, even as an adult these books are interesting to page through.'s pricing is very good on both of these books, which do tend to sell at full retail at local brick and mortars. The little figure they throw in is a nice bonus. I liked them so well I have pre-ordered the DK book on Lego Star wars minifigs sight unseen. It shipped today so excited to see my little boy's reaction when it comes. Overall these are a great blend of books and toys that make my kids want to read them. I have no doubt they will remain staples for months to come.
