Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class

"Scoring a BrickScore of 78, Hogwarts Castle: Potions Class earns its keep as the most accomplished and detail-rich add-on module in the new modular Hogwarts system — anchored by an outstanding Snape minifigure and a genuinely clever folding mechanism — though both reviewers note the size feels tight for full asking price."

Both reviewers awarded this set an identical score and landed in the same positive territory, praising its clever folding/deployment mechanism, seamless integration beneath 76435 The Great Hall, and rich accessory selection. The dungeon-appropriate muted stone palette and the best-yet Severus Snape minifigure (complete with printed arms) were called out as highlights. The chief complaints are its modest size for the price and stickers on the 4×4 curved tiles where printed pieces would be preferable.

Where they split: The two reviewers mildly disagreed on value for money (55 vs. 72) and on primary audience — Brickset framed it as a collectors' piece and recommended waiting for a discount, while Hoth Bricks leaned toward its play credentials and judged it deserving of its standalone price as a focused module.
