About this deal

Includes 6 minifigures: Harry Potter™, Hermione Granger™, Severus Snape™, Oliver Wood, Lucian Bole and Marcus Flint.

Polybags are always a difficult prospect, given the severe limitations surrounding the number of pieces. However, such challenges often trigger creative solutions and 30651 Quidditch Practice encapsulates this ingenuity. Combining microscale with minifigure-scale is clever and I think this example is appealing, especially given the detail on the tiny Quidditch pitch.My comment was in reply to users complaining that politics were being discussed in relation to their hobby. I pointed out their hobby doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

The set measures over 6 in. (15 cm) high, 8 in. (20 cm) wide and 2.5 in. (6 cm) deep and connects easily to other LEGO® Harry Potter™ sets. Kids use 3 long, transparent levers to play out the famous flying-lesson scene and enjoy endless other airborne adventures, including Quidditch™ practice. Accessory elements include a chest, 2 wands, 4 brooms, Quaffle, Golden Snitch™, bat, 2 Bludgers, trophy, megaphone and scoreboard. LEGO® building kits fulfil strict industry quality standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart perfectly every time – and it’s been that way since 1958.If you don't want to buy it then fine, but stop demanding others do the same, particularly with your thinly veiled threats ("catches up with you eventually"). Sure, but users shouldn’t get touchy when other users judge this a topic worth discussing when relevant.

This toy is one of a series of authentically detailed modular sets that kids can build, combine and rearrange to create their own Hogwarts™ Castle model. Help Hermione cast a spell on Professor Snape™ using the pop-up fire function on the Slytherin™ house tower. Gryffindor and Slytherin have generally been the focus of Quidditch-based Harry Potter sets, as their teams often appear onscreen. However, 75978 Diagon Alley introduced Quidditch robes for the other houses and Cho Chang sports her dark blue Ravenclaw garb here, finally ending this torso's exclusivity to 75978 Diagon Alley! I can find three different uniform styles. The earlier design did have everyone wearing white pants. The other two had charcoal grey pants. Both of these uniforms were only featured in Year 6. One was for tryouts, and the other for games. Chang's design looks like it's based on the latter. I think the dark-blue legs are meant to represent the half-cape that hangs from the jersey. Since the Diagon Alley set includes the twins' shop, this is the uniform style that's accurate to that time, but it should never have white pants. Also, it appears this uniform style is only available for the two neglected Houses. The other two got multiple uniform styles previously, so they probably weren't as high a priority for the Diagon Alley set.The LEGO Harry Potter set features Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang LEGO Harry Potter minifigures, plus 10 extra heads (6 different skin tones) and 10 extra hairstyles to create unique players. The box also contains equipment to set up 3 different Quidditch games: shoot the Quaffle through the goal hoops, launch the bludgers at the beater and catch the Golden Snitch. Includes Neville Longbottom™, Draco Malfoy™ and Madam Hooch minifigures, and 5 buildable, rearrangeable modules, including a Quidditch™ trophy room and equipment storage room. So, yeah, Cho could have just been called "Mary Smith" and still be Asian and that'd be normal. Or she could be Cho Chang and that'd also be normal. Or Mary Chang.

The seven-book Harry Potter series has a single prominent Asian character. This character is named "Cho Chang."" I'm going to make a completely neutral and objectively true observation that's directly relevant to the set, without commenting on anyone's political views, the actions that those views lead them to take, or any form of harm that may or may not come to others as a result. On top of that, I promise it isn't about transphobia in any way, shape, or form. That should be fine, right? All right. Here it is:To celebrate 20 years of magic with LEGO® Harry Potter™, the set includes an exclusive, golden Professor Quirrell minifigure and 2 random wizard card tiles for kids to collect (16 in total). Young witches and wizards aged 7 and up with a passion for Harry Potter™ will be captivated by this magical airborne playset, which features famous characters and locations from the movies. Thinking of people of Asian descent I know: yeah, they tend to have traditionally Asian last names. It's not uncommon that they have a traditionally Western first name like "Mike" or "Steve," but it's not crazy to bump into a traditionally Asian first name. (Come to think of it, my nieces and nephew have an Indian father, and so, yeah, they all have traditionally Indian first names. They have a Portuguese last name, but I recollect that's driven by Portuguese influence in that part of India.) Despite its tiny size, the essential features of the Quidditch pitch are provided. These include six golden goalposts and four spectator stands, featuring the colours of the four Hogwarts houses. I love these splashes of colour and their angled arrangement works well, although a couple more stands would have been appreciated. For a polybag though, the pitch looks splendid. Hogwart's Legacy has been a fantastic success, even though a very small, but vocal, minority demanded a boycott."
