"Diagon Alley Wizarding Shops is a genuinely ambitious micro-scale achievement that packs 16 buildings and 12 printed nano-figures into a $199.99 set, earning its Recommended tier and a 4.77 owner average across 954 ratings, though expert critics are split on whether it clears the bar set by Hogwarts Castle at $30 less."
The Diagon Alley Wizarding Shops (76444) earns a Recommended verdict with a BrickScore of 74.5, with critics landing on opposite sides of the same feature set: one reviewer calls it the most comprehensive Diagon Alley street ever produced in LEGO form and praises its 7.3 cent price-per-piece as exceptional for a licensed Harry Potter set, while the other finds the visual result cluttered and frames Hogwarts Castle as a superior buy at $30 less. Owners are decisively enthusiastic, averaging 4.77 out of 5 across 954 ratings, with Amazon buyers at 4.9, suggesting the wide audience response outpaces the more critical expert take.
Where they split: The two expert critics reached notably different conclusions: Rebrickable gave it an 85 and a buy recommendation, calling it the most comprehensive Diagon Alley set to date with strong value; the second expert scored it 65 and advised waiting, arguing Hogwarts Castle beats it on almost every dimension for $30 less. Owner ratings (4.77 average across 954 ratings) align far more with the enthusiastic take.

Owners love the detailed Diagon Alley design and rewarding build experience, but some report structural weakness where sections fall apart easily with minor movement.
