Synthesized Verdict

"With a BrickScore of 78.7 and 3,570 owner ratings averaging 4.8 out of 5, The Rise of Voldemort is a clear Recommended pick that punches well above its 184-piece count: the four exclusive, film-faithful minifigures, including the brilliantly conceived rudimentary Voldemort, make it one of the best-value Harry Potter sets ever released."

Reviewers across Brickset and Jay's Brick Blog consistently praise The Rise of Voldemort as an exceptional value play in the Harry Potter line, with the minifigure lineup being the clear star of the show. The graveyard setting is competent and atmospheric, but everyone agrees the four exclusive figures, especially the clever use of a baby-in-papoose piece to represent rudimentary Voldemort, elevate this far above what the 184-piece count suggests. Owner sentiment matches the expert enthusiasm: 3,570 ratings average 4.8 out of 5, with 96% of LEGO.com buyers saying they would recommend it, making this one of the most broadly loved small sets in the Harry Potter theme.

Ecosystem

Harry Potter Minifigures Collector Series (Cedric/Trimagical Cup) — The built Trimagical Cup from this set is significantly superior to the molded collector series version. The set's Harry torso is also based on Cedric's collector series design, and the comparison highlights the set's strong design choices.

Graveyard Duel set (legacy Harry Potter set) — Good update to the older set; reviewer missed getting the original and sees this as a solid replacement, though notes both have strengths and weaknesses

Old Graveyard Duel set — Reviewer likes the Graveyard Duel better because it was a bigger set with more content, though this version is still good

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Wedge plates (angled side panels)
Abandonment of rigid right angles in favor of sloped construction elements for more realistic appearance
Wrapped baby element (dark gray/translucent)
Represents the 'terrible form' of Voldemort before resurrection; sourced from the minifigure collector series
Trimagical Cup (built component, not molded)
Built from bricks rather than a single molded piece, which reviewer prefers over the molded version from the collector series
Reaper/Angel statue (dark bluish gray and light bluish gray)
Central focal point made from two-tone gray elements; visually impressive and thematic to the graveyard setting
Graveyard sticker with Deathly Hallows symbol
One of only two stickers in the set; reviewer notes the Deathly Hallows symbol is a particularly notable detail
Minifigure hand piece
Used to represent Peter Pettigrew's severed hand; reviewer notes surprise at using piece instead of minifigure hand
